TimeMaster Time and Attendance system

TimeMaster


Part 1 — Let us guide your time and attendance search!

If you’re looking for a clocking system tailored to your exact environment, look no further than TimeMaster. Our consultants listen first, analyze your workflows, and then match you with the right mix of hardware and software—so you capture accurate time, cut payroll errors, and stay compliant without adding admin.

Determine your level of time and attendance savings.
Well-planned access control and attendance tracking have a direct, measurable impact on your bottom line. Start by mapping your environments (office, warehouse, field), your security level (reception vs. high-value areas), and your budget. With sensible planning, you’ll strike the sweet spot between security, efficiency, and cost control—and you’ll see the savings flow through to payroll faster than you expect.

Fingerprint, Facial & Palm Recognition.
Different teams need different biometrics. Fingerprint readers are cost-effective, but heavy manual work can affect print quality. Facial and palm recognition are touchless, hygienic, and resilient in high-traffic areas—ideal where speed and minimal contact matter. The winning approach is to evaluate your sites, your lighting, and your traffic patterns, then select the sensor that fits your people, not the other way around.

Selecting the right Time & Attendance system.
Biometric devices capture events—but it’s your software that turns those events into clean payroll. Choose a system with strong rules engines (shifts, rosters, overtime, leave), clear audit trails, and responsive support. Insist on a solution that handles your exact exceptions (late starts, grace periods, meal breaks, night work) and exports seamlessly to payroll.

Important facial recognition tips.
Where lighting varies or you have outdoor points, consider non-visible-light (NIR/IR) devices for higher accuracy. Pair that with clear signage, privacy-by-design settings, and role-based access controls. You’ll get reliable matches while protecting employee privacy—and your brand.

Part 2 — Covering your time and attendance needs

Powerful, versatile, and easy to use.
Whether you’re upgrading from paper timesheets or replacing legacy terminals, TimeMaster helps you unlock the full capability of your clocking environment. Configure once, then let automation handle the repetitive work.

A support mentality that sets you up to win.
We believe great software is only as good as the help behind it. That’s why TimeMaster provides in-system help videos and articles, guided training, and built-in support tickets. From onboarding to optimization, we stay with you so your rollout lands smoothly and keeps improving.

Time and Attendance Wellness Module.
Move from reactive policing to proactive performance. Our Wellness Module surfaces trends across your company, departments, and individuals—so you can spot risks early (absenteeism spikes, persistent late arrivals) and act before they become costly issues.

Part 3 — Control access on multiple levels

Approvals and accountability are built in.
TimeMaster’s access controls let you manage who sees what, and who approves which steps. Use the Export Module to distribute approvals across departments, speeding up month-end while improving accuracy.

Clock System Reports — standardized and ready.
Out of the box, TimeMaster ships with a broad set of standard reports so managers stay informed and payroll stays clean. Use them to tighten operations and underpin confident decision-making.

Reports Dashboard.
Jump into a central dashboard to track attendance KPIs at a glance. Identify hotspots, drill down to detail, and assign actions—without wrestling spreadsheets.

Departmental drill-downs.
Compare departments to surface efficiency gaps, coach poor-performing teams, and set measurable goals for punctuality, overtime, and schedule adherence.

Case Study: Company-Wide Overview.
Leaders get a bird’s-eye view across locations, with yearly and monthly targets. Drill from macro trends into the specific shifts, sites, or rules driving variance—then fix root causes, not symptoms.

Export to Payroll.
Included in LITE, PRO, and ENTERPRISE, export turns approved time into payroll-ready batches. Track batch status on the Export Overview screen and deliver to multiple payrolls with confidence.

Export Data Management.
Manually override edge cases, use FiF (Find it Fast!) to locate records, approve/unlock per department, and monitor progress to ensure no stone is left unturned before payroll cut-off.

Access control and audit trails.
Maintain data integrity with full audit trails—what changed, who changed it, and when. Granular access ensures staff see only what they need, while approvers have the right context to act quickly.

Export auditing.
Run comparative audits between reports and export batches to catch inconsistencies before payday. Additional audit reports deepen your assurance that values align across all stages.
