Time Card

With the easyjob Time Card Analysis (TCA) module, easyjob is expanded with a time recording functionality for in-house staff as well as for freelancers. This makes it possible to record the work times of your employees and freelancers and carry out a qualification (which employee carried out a certain activity for how long, e.g. for a project). In addition to recording vacation and sick days, you can also implement individual break rules and work time modules. An automatic, interactive recording (easyjob creates a proposed list), expense recording and various analyses also also provided for optimal project control.

3. Configure the Windows auto-login

The user can be authorized at the terminal using an easyjob password or an RFID card.

To readout the RFID cards, easyjob assigns the card serial number to the user. No data is written on the card. In this way it is also possible to use other RFID objects such as alarm device dongles with the NXP Mifare standard.

Card readers as well as custom printed RFID cards are available at our webshop or contact us at sales@protonic-software.com

Assigning an easyjob user to RFID

1. Start the Time Card application

Concept

The conceptual idea behind the easyjob Time Card Module is to provide users with support in assigning their activities to projects, jobs, workshop activities, warehouse work, addresses or in sales based on automatic and/or manual work time recordings (Quantitative Recording). This assignment is called Qualification. At the end in Controlling the recorded data can also be used for the optimal assignment of costs to projects or for evaluating work times and costs of your own employees and freelancers.

1.5

Terminology

Work time

The work time is the actual presence of the employee. Employee presence can be recorded using easyjob, the easyjob WebApp or using the Time Card terminal. Break and overtime rules can be defined accordingly.

Recording

Recording (trace) is used to determine at which time point a worker carried out which activity. In an optimal case, the recording is automatically recorded using the easyjob IntelliTraceTM function. The recording provides support when qualifying the activities.

Qualification

Qualification is the final definition of the cost in hours of the corresponding activity. Through qualification, the corresponding cost as well as the type of activity is assigned to the corresponding easyjob process. Qualifying the activities of a work day must take place within the respective work time.

1.6

Time Card

The Time card is used to manage employee master data, such as weekly work time, work time rules, yearly vacation entitlement, monthly costs, etc. The type of employee assignment can be Temporary (e.g. for student help), Permanent (e.g. for regular employees working full or part time) or Deactivated. Further work conditions (e.g. weekly hours, salary, etc.) can also be stored only for the Permanent assignment type. You can also define if Approval is required by another user (e.g. supervisor) for the recorded work time and the qualification of activities. See also Approving work times and qualifications. You can define the corresponding right in the User Settings. Enter all employee master data under Working conditions . See also Working conditions. Furthermore, you can record the Company affiliation , notes and the site.

1.6.1

Working conditions

The working conditions are divided into General , Cost calculation and Rules . In addition to the Validity date (in this way, for example, you can change work time modules during an employment period), you can define the Salary interval (month, hour, day or week) and the Salary . Earnings are the monthly costs and income. This means that all ancillary expenses must be calculated in this value. Enter the Vacation days per year and the individual work time model . The automatically calculated Average will be directly displayed, and this is used for calculating the monthly time recording.

Vacation days are always calculated on a daily basis in the time recording. In program settings you can define if the vacation calculation basis should be done based on the average weekly work time or on a daily basis.

For example, an employee works 38 hours a week. 8 hours Monday to Thursday and 6 hours on Friday. The daily average is 7.6 hours.

If the vacation calculation basis is Daily and the employee only takes a holiday on Friday, the target work time for this week will be Monday to Thursday, 8 hours each = 32 hours.

If the vacation calculation is Average week work time and the employee takes a vacation day on Friday, the average of 7.6 hours x 4 days = 30.4 hours will be calculated as the target work time for this week.

1.6.1.1

Cost calculation

The average calculation factor for the costs of this employee (e.g. for a project assignment) is determined under Cost calculation . For the projection, first define the Year . Based on the time card information (e.g. Mon-Fri 8 hours each), the Work days are calculated based on the assumption of 52 weeks. For a more accurate calculation, you can adjust this value accordingly. Public holidays that were already defined for this year, Vacation days from the time card and Sick leave that was already taken will also be taken into consideration. This results in the average work days for this employee per month .

Formula: (work days – public holidays – vacation days – sick leave) / 12 months

You can freely edit the average workdays per month or apply the calculated value .

You can decide individually if the employee ends the work time for the break and then restarts (e.g. to exactly calculate the breaks and work time), or if the employee should remain logged in the entire work time and the break should be automatically deducted according to the break rules, regardless if the employee actually takes a break or how long it is.

If the break rule is activated – depending on the requirement – the break time is automatically deducted after hour X. It will be deducted regardless if the employee took a break from work (end and new start of the work time) or not.

Work Time Overview

With the work time overview, you can see the monthly time and activity type recording for each employee at a glance. You can define multiple criteria when selecting the employee. With Assignment you can filter according to the employee assignment type (e.g. permanent), in the Name search filter you will find a pre-selection of the available name list. The green mark indicates that the employee's work time has started and that the employee is present. If it is red, the work time on this day has already ended. Gray means that the employee has not yet started his work time. If an employee has started his work time, ended it and started it again, the Break box is checked. The Work time overview displays the data for the selected employee

Additional display criteria in the work time overview can be limited using the presettings . You can use the date to select the desired month and the Work Type (e.g. Project management). In the totals view, you can see how many hours were recorded and qualified in total for this month for this work type. You can make a further limitation using the search filter , you can search for a special activity from the work type (e.g. Project name) and read under Recording and Qualified how much work time the selected employee, for example in the area of project management, has invested in this specific project. Use Unit to define if the information should be displayed in minutes or hours.

By checking the Month completed box, the subsequent editing of previous months is blocked. Under Finalize it is possible to finalize one or multiple months for multiple employees at the same time. With Update calendar , the calendar view is displayed each time a day is selected and if you position the Work time overview window and Calendar next to each other, you can see everything at a glance. By pressing Calendar you can switch to the calendar view, which will always display the day that is currently marked in the work time overview. With Add you can enter absences (vacation, sickness) and correct work times and vacation if necessary. Corrections can also be edited or deleted . With the Log view you can keep track of entries, changes and corrections. Statistics see Statistics/Reports. Under Approval you can see an overview of the Approving work times and qualifications.

The names of the column headings in the work time overview are mainly self-explanatory. You can display or hide the column headings as usual and sort by column headings. You can find a summary of the displayed values in the Totals section .

Resource

In the work time overview, the work hours an employee worked as a resource for a job are shown in a separate column.

1.7.2

Activity filter example

If you specify Project management for example for the activity, only the hours that the employee used this month for Project management will be added in the total view (Recording and Qualified ).

1.7.3

Search filter example

If you enter a project name , e.g. Festival Open Doors in the search filter, only the hours the employee used this month for this project will be added to the total view (Recording and Qualified ).

The search filter searches in descriptions from projects, jobs, invoices, workshop activities, purchase orders, sales orders, purchase invoices and manufacturing orders.

1.7.4

Finalizing the month

After all time recording entries are complete, you can finalize the month, 'freezing' the status. Finalized months must then no longer be calculated live by easyjob, which improves performance (processing speed). You can only finalize a month if the previous months have been finalized. To simplify the process, you will receive a request.

Subsequent changes are no longer possible in the finalized month. Unless you uncheck the box for the Month completed status. There is a specific user right for this function. See also User Settings.

In order to switch to a vacation calculation basis, the monthly work time overview of all employees created in the time recording must be closed

Work time calculations

No content for this section.

1.11.1

Calculating holidays

The holidays in the current month will be deducted from the target work time of the respective day according to the time card presettings. If - as in the example of a public holiday on Monday - 8 hours will be deducted from the target work time. If the public holiday is on a Wednesday, accordingly 4 hours or if it is on a Friday then 6 hours are deducted from the target work time.

The quantity of public holidays per month is displayed in the

Work Time Overview.

1.11.2

Calculating sick days and other absences

The absences can be entered as half 0.5 or whole 1.0 days. The basis of calculation is the work time defined in the time card presettings. If the target work time, for example on a Monday, is 8 hours and the employee uses 4 hours to take part in a training course (other) he must still work an additional 4 hours .

Depending on the difference to the work time defined in the time card presettings for this day, the daily target work time will be recalculated.

Underlying calculation format in hours:

FieldFormula
Remaining target work time/dayTime requirement (time card/day)– Absence time (other-sick/day)
Other totalAbsence time (other-sick/day)/ Time requirement (time card/day)

Sample calculation

Time card on this day in hoursAbsence in hours (Other/Sick)Remaining target work time on this dayTotal Other/sick
835.00.36
844.00.5
85.53.50.69
862.00.75
633.00.5
440.01
460.01

Excess or non-recorded extra hours will be corrected using the time correction.. In this way, for an employee with a target work time of 4 hours, who had an appointment outside of the company that lasted 7 hours, you can credit the 3 hour difference to his work time account.

1.11.3

Calculating vacation

Vacation days are calculated similarly to the other absences/sick leave based on the Average work week time or on a Daily basis. Vacation days are always calculated on a daily basis in the time recording. A half vacation day is therefore 0.5. You can define the calculation basis in the easyjob program settings.

1. easyjob Menu Tools Settings

2. Time recording tab

3. Select the desired Vacation calculation basis

4. Ok

1.11.3.1

Vacation calculation on an average week time basis

With this type of calculation, easyjob uses the Average week work time as the basis for the vacation calculation total. With a 5 day week with an average of 38 hours, that is 7.6 hours per day. In this case, the 7.6 hours would be deducted for each vacation day. For example, from Monday to Thursday 8 hours and Fridays 6 hours. On Fridays 6 hours will be deducted from the target work time and 0.79 vacation days.

Underlying calculation format in hours

FieldFormula
Remaining target work time/dayTime card on the vacation day– Vacation time taken*

1.11.3.2

Daily vacation calculation

In the case of daily calculations, exactly the number of hours of the day of absence will be taken into account, which is previously defined in the time card. That is, from Monday to Thursday 8 hours and Fridays 6 hours, corresponding Fridays to a deduction of 6 hours from the target-work time and 1 vacation day.
