Currently, all attendance data in your TimeTec account will be kept for up to 5 years. To improve the speed of loading the current attendance data, we will separate the first 2 years data and kept the last 3 years data in Archive. Data in Archive are for viewing purpose only, so no changes can be made for the archive's data. This process will be the same in both Attendance and Data Audit List.

We will be giving the Attendance and Data Audit List UI a new up-to-date and much-friendlier look.

Do you want to be able to put notes or remark at an employee's attendance data? Request granted. We will add a new column; Note in the Attendance section where Admin can add notes or any remark related to the employee's attendance. The Note column will be in free text mode, with characters up to 100. Simply click the Edit button to add the notes in.

Sometimes, a user needs his superior to make changes to his attendance, due to missed clocking or incorrect work code input. We’ve got that covered with the Change Request function, where user can send their request to their superior, but we won't stop at that.
We will enhance this feature by adding the approval engine in the Attendance module where user will be allowed to edit their own attendance and submit to their superior for approval. The workflow will be as below:

1. Admin set the approval rules for the attendance; set the criteria to initiate the approval process, set approvers and it's validity.
2. User edits his attendance and submits for approval.
3. Admin received request and make approval.

User can view the status of his request and add comment if necessary. This approval engine will be added in other module as well, to promote better interactions between superior and employees.

The Export Attendance to Payroll option will show the payroll options available according to your country. For Malaysia, the current payroll software that has been included in this option are WinComm Pay 7 and SQL Payroll. In our plan, we will include Sage UBS payroll in this option for our Malaysia customer.

Data without analysis is meaningless. Thus we have planned to include data analysis, focusing on the attendance data obtained from TimeTec TA. The data analysis section will be placed under Attendance feature. The analysis includes:

1. Attendance Analysis
2. Overall Work Rate
3. Work Rate
4. Tardiness Analysis

User can choose to view the analysis in daily or monthly. The analysis will be displayed in bar or line charts to provide a better view of your company’s workforce performance.
