Time Away From Work in Timesheets

In the most recent release of Spokeware we added a new functionality that would help reduce double data entry and eliminate errors.

Previously, if somebody requested Personal Time Off through the HR system it needed to be manually added to payroll in order to get paid. This resulted in couple of undesirable results. First, the double data entry, a manager had to approve the PTO (or any other Time Away from Work) request and then the manager had to remember to pay that amount on the next payroll. Secondly, there was no way to track that time on the Employee’s time sheet.

With the most recent release of Spokeware a new feature has been added whereas Time Away requests, such as PTO, will automatically be added to the appropriate Timesheet once the request is approved by the manager. Once the request is in the Timesheet it will flow to payroll along with the rest of the Timesheet entries once the Timesheet is imported into the payroll system.

The new functionality eliminates the need to enter the data in multiple places. It also leaves a permanent record of the PTO on the employee’s timesheet for tracking and auditing purposes.
