Time Tracking Software Employee time tracking systems do exactly what you would expect: they track the number of hours an employee has worked and export those hours for payroll. Employee time and attendance software also takes care of the other important details, such as overtime pay, pay grade, and accruals. This results in correct and efficient paychecks every pay period. This is one way employee management solution streamlines payroll, eliminating human error. This is not the only benefit. This software solution also tracks how employees budget their time and if they are using it effectively, or possibly misusing it. Learning Spotlight: Tips, Tricks, or FAQs LightWork Time Can new LightWork users be automatically given punch use privileges? If the “Allow Kiosk Punching” system option is default auto-selected, new users don't need to be individually enabled as punch users (like what is detailed below). You can verify if this is enabled in your system by going to Maintenance>System>System Options and verifying the "Allow Kiosk Punching" field is selected. For an existing user, go to the Navigation Pane, go to Maintenance>Timesheets>Punch User and click to add a new punch user. Once there, add in desired ID and Pin information and search to tag Employee Record to this punch user. After verifying that the “Allow Kiosk Punching” option is checked, you’re ready to save! Once this is completed, this user will be able to punch using any kiosk and those punches will be tied to their timesheet.
