Vacation and Sick Time Accruals Now Available in Online Time Clock MTS

I'm happy to announce the first major update to Online Time Clock MTS since the system came out of BETA a couple of months back. The key changes to this new version are the inclusion of Vacation and Sick Time accruals. I'll go into greater detail of how accruals work in Online Time Clock MTS in a subsequent entry as well as writing several entries about how to setup particular accrual schemes that are commonly used. Below you can find a summary of the changes made to Online Time Clock MTS in this update.

New Features

• Time Classification Report added, displays a line by line summary of time split by classification (normal, vacation, sick, PTO, and other).
• Can now classify a time on the Edit Times Screen. Classifications available include normal, vacation, sick time, paid time off, and other.
• Employment types added, each employee can be assigned to one employment type. Employment types contain all the settings for vacation and sick time accruals which have also been added.
• Accruals start date and balances added to the Edit Employees screen. These settings can be used to setup existing accrual balances for employees who are only just starting to use Online Time Clock MTS.
• Accruals section added to the footer of all reports. The accruals section is only displayed for employees that can accrue sick or vacation time.
• Times on the punchcard and detailed punchcard reports are now shown with their classification (if it is set to something other than normal).
• First day of fiscal year setting added to the Your Account->Account Settings screen.

Fixes and Enhancements

• Fix to edit times screen where AM was not changing to PM when 12PM was selected
• Fix to rounding issue on simple time report
• Manage employees and manage locations screen now visible for expired subscriptions. This allows users to delete employees/locations if they want to keep using Online Time Clock MTS in free mode.
• Fixed popup tips on account login page when there is only one account location defined.
• The messages given when trying to define new employees or locations that will exceed the subscription limits are now more descriptive.
• Fixed subscription purchase screen when the number of employees and locations allows for the system to be used in free mode.
• The internal counters for the number of defined employees and locations are now updated correctly when an employee or location is deleted.
• Fixed up a problem with default location and department selection when creating a new employee in IE7 and IE8.
