Such a system can be operated anywhere with an internet connection, and timecard history is stored for each pay period. With a quick report, managers can easily see an employees’ attendance and time-off used, or unused. In fact, multiple time-off categories such as vacation or sick leave, can be defined, tracked and reported with ease.

The number of hours off permitted for each employee can be seen at the click of a button, along with the balance, and will appear on each individual timecard.
