PayrollHero Update: HTML5 Camera

Great News! – The PayrollHero PhotoBooth has been rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of the latest technology from Google. We’re about to rollout a new PhotoBooth for both the MyClock Web and TeamClock Web and it utilizes a HTML 5 camera.

This will make the MyClock Web and TeamClock Web pages even faster and smoother on your Google Chrome Browser.

This means we are no longer using Adobe Flash to power the Camera and all the prior manual Flash configuration settings have been replaced with a single, one-time click of the Allow button the first time you use it.

Update: Change Multiple Employee’s Schedules at the Same Time

Screen Shot 2014-02-15 at February 15, 2014 3

Now within your PayrollHero account you can manage multiple employee’s schedules at the same time. This added functionality makes it easier to manage your team and their corresponding schedules.

You can find this functionality by clicking on “Employees” then “Schedules” within your account. You need to have some administrator controls in order to do this.

There is lots more coming… if you have suggestions feel free to let us know.

Update: Salary Function For Philippine Payroll

Great news!

We’ve just released a new pay mode setting called “Salary”. This feature can be used for your employees who don’t clock in/out on the system but are still part of your payroll, meaning, you can still generate payroll without clocking in/out or resolving attendance.

How this feature works – the system pays the employees their salary for a specific pay period without any lates and overtime.

To summarize our pay mode features, here’s a table of what we have on the system:

unnamed

* If attendance has not been published, a notification would show up and say that “Sorry we can’t generate your payroll until all work days have been published. Please publish the needed attendance.”

** If they need deductions or additional pay, you can create specific “payments” on their employee profile.

So if you currently have clients who are paid a “Salary” here’s how you can edit the pay mode.

Update: Flex Schedules Is Here

flexible-time

Clients have asked us about the ability to have flex schedules. The vast majority of our clients have pretty ridged schedules, but there is always an employee or two that has a bit of a flexible schedule. Their time still needs to be tracked, but their start and end time is more flexible. Now, within PayrollHero, you can use the MyClock Web to enable flexible schedule employees to clock in and out without the need for a schedule.

Update: They are live on all iOS TeamClock accounts. Here is what you will see.

More props are going to be added into the PayrollHero platform in the coming days.  A prop, is a virtual item that shows up on the screen when you are clocking in.  They are random, fun and will keep you smiling at the start and end of your day.

Want your company to be first to have props enabled? Comment below with why you should be first!

Feature Update: Roll Call

Within PayrollHero’s platform there is the resolve attendance functionality.  PayrollHero is a complete time, attendance, scheduling, analytics and payroll platform that is a seamless tool to help businesses manage their workforce.  Within the resolve attendance portion of the platform, managers can make decisions on scheduling infractions so that PayrollHero knows how to calculate employee hours.  Resolving employees that clocked in late, early, missed clock in, etc. is all handled through the resolve attendance screen.  Here is what it used to look like:

Review_Attendance___Sanchez_Corp___PayrollHero-2

Within the resolve attendance page there is a function called “roll call checker”.  We have made a big change to how the roll call functionality works.  In the past, the roll call checker would run every 60 minutes to check which employees were late, early, missing clock ins, etc and display them in the resolve attendance page. (see above)

The new roll call functionality is being rolled out this week with the main difference being that the roll call checker does this 24/7, no 60 minute cycle. Plus it also does a roll call for when people are supposed to leave. The main benefit of the new roll call checker is that it is more real time then before. The attendance page is almost instantaneously updated and the email notifications get sent within a minute of an action by the employee. (see below)

New and Updated Features in PayrollHero

PayrollHero gets better every day. Feedback from our internal teams and clients help us shape the platform so that it is of more use to all of our clients.  Here are a couple of new or updated features rolled out into the platform today:

1. How to set-up Extra COLA for Regular Holidays
Pursuant to the Philippine Proclamation No. 629, the following rules for COLA shall apply

If worked, the employee should get 200% of COLA or equivalent to Php60.00
If unworked, the employee should get 100% of COLA or equivalent to Php30.00

You can see complete details on this feature here

2. How to Export the Employee Clock ins and outs?

This feature has been in the platform for a long time, but we added the functionality to have the system generate the report in the background and email it to you when it is complete. As larger clients join the PayrollHero platform the report can take a few moments to complete, this feature frees up payroll administrators to continue doing their work while PayrollHero is working behind the scenes.
