DF TimeCard Express Workflow
Workforce Visibility
DF TimeCard Express was built for more than just collecting, processing and integrating payroll-related data; it was built to provide complete real-time visibility of your entire workforce.
The Supervisor’s Home Screen enhances the flow of critical workforce information by utilizing a single screen to provide real-time attendance data, timecard approval status, hours worked including overtime, in-out board with the most recent punch shown, and assigned schedules.
DF TimeCard Express Supervisor Screen
Attendance Tracking shows any infraction (Absent, Late, Missing Punch, etc.) on the Supervisor’s Home Screen as well as the employee’s individual timecard. These timecards include historical data from previous pay cycles and can be viewed by employees and supervisors.
Employee Timecard Report
Real-Time Reporting allows labor and attendance data to be instantly accessed and converted into real-time, targeted, easy to read reports. Standard reports cover schedules, time and attendance, personnel, departments and payroll. All your critical information is safeguarded by assigning security roles that define what information users are able to view.
Simplified Scheduling allows you to set configurable templates known as Master Schedules to assist in quickly setting up schedules for your entire workforce. DF TimeCard Express uses an intuitive graphical user interface to create and control individual, group, rotating, and departmental schedules. Supervisors have the option to setup schedules for employees individually, or setting up a master schedule first and then making slight modifications to the base template.
