I have been on the “TimeWellScheduled” program for over 5 months and notice amazing savings in the unproductive punching in early, punching out late or extended breaks. This system allows all managers to control these areas for each staff member and opened our eyes to the abuse of it by our
staff.

How TimeWellScheduled Helps This Canadian Tire Store Save
Friday, June 17th, 2011Employees can view each others schedules
Thursday, June 16th, 2011 If a business turns on this feature 
Employees can now see the schedule of other employees within their department
New York City’s Time & Attendance Project
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011New York City decided to build their own time and attendance called CityTime with an original budget of $68million (the cost of the project ballooned to over $700 million) .
At $2/employee/month, NYC could have used our product for 116 years spending that amount of money (and that’s if they paid up front, we charge monthly).
Notes in the Schedule
Saturday, June 11th, 2011We just updated the employee schedule and the action messages when employees clock in to include any notes attached to their schedule. This allows managers/supervisors to post additional information about their shift that they want to pass on to the employee.
Employees Checking Schedules From Home
Friday, June 10th, 2011Under MANAGE MY BUSINESS, you will see a link that is your companies ‘Employee URL’. Give this URL to your employees so they can log in from home and check their schedules or request time off. Don’t worry though, they can’t punch in or out.
Payroll Integration expanded
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
Now you can integrate your TimeWellScheduled Time and Attendance system and payroll with a simple click. The products for which we support payroll integration are:
- EasyPay
- MYOB
- Simply Accounting
- Desjardins
- Ceridian (coming online in June, 2011, currently in testing with first clients)
What does this mean for our clients? It means that if you use any one of these payroll software packages you could save up to two days a week in data entry and verification for payroll processing. In your TimeWellScheduled settings, you can choose “Manage My Company” and choose your payroll vendor under “General Settings”. Once your time sheets are all verified and exceptions have been managed, you can prepare your payroll report with a single click as an export. The exported file is in the format that your payroll software understands and can import for processing by your bank.
Many thanks to all of our clients who have provided valuable feedback and new feature requests. It’s this engagement that allows to continue to roll out new features every month to help you save time and money!
New login screen
Friday, June 3rd, 2011
We just updated the login page to include new employee code/password entry fields, as well as allowing for dynamic page sizes. Some clients commented that due to smaller screen sizes they had to scroll left/right to see the entire screen, so we made a change so the page re-sizes based on the screen size.
Templates Make Scheduling Fast
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011Templates are predefined weekly schedules that saves you the time from having to add a shift each day.
Setting up a template under MANAGE MY BUSINESS-MANAGE TEMPLATES is a simple and quick process. Give your template a recognizable name, then check off the days that the template applies to, and the times you want the employee to work:
Once created, go into SCHEDULING and beside an employee’s name (who has no schedule for the week), you can add a template by click the green +:
Select the template you want to use and the actual scheduled entries will be shown:
Click Add. With just 2 clicks, you have a whole week of shifts added.
