We just keep making it easier for our customers. Due to launch at the beginning of May, Software Techniques has created a unique tool that makes it easier for employees to punch in and out of work – TimeKron Remote.
What’s TimeKron Remote? Simple. Let’s break it down with a scenario.
##Begin Scenario##
Company: XYZ Building Corporation – They build houses for clients all across the United States.
XYZ Building Corporation (XYZBC for short) has a new client in Miami, FL, who needs a house built as soon as possible. XYZBC has several employees who will fly down to Miami to start the construction. One of those employees is Jim.
Jim is on his way to Miami to start the construction work. XYZBC wants Jim to log his project time as soon as he gets to the construction site.
How does Jim let XYZBC know when he gets to the construction site? Simple.
Jim pulls out his phone (let’s call it an IPhone) which has internet connection, and logs into TimeKronRemote.com. He sees a screen and logs in.
Jim Clocks into the job, and he’s ready for work.
After the day is finished, Jim is ready to leave the construction site. Jim jumps on his IPhone and goes back to TimeKronRemote.com. TimeKron Remote is smart enough to remember his login information, and it takes him directly to the Punch out screen.
Simple.
Wait, how does XYZ Building Corporation pull this information into TimeKron, which is a desktop application (for now – the web version coming)?
The HR Manager goes to his/her computer and clicks a button, which retrieves Jim’s punch information.
Simple.
##End Scenario##
As you can see, the keyword to this scenario is simplicity. From punching in and out, to retrieving information, we’ve made it easier and more efficient for companies to punch in and out from anywhere with an internet connection; laptop, IPhone, PDA, it doesn’t matter.
We’re taking project management one step farther with this application. We’re also launching several new products in 2009, such as SoftTIME Online, so stay tuned by subscribing to our newsletter. Who knows, we might let our subscribers get a sneak peek of our upcoming products (hint, hint ).

SoftTIME Online is almost ready for launch, and when it does launch, you will wonder why your business has wasted time AND money with the competition.
SoftTIME Online has been highly anticipated for several months, but that anticipation is slowly disappearing with the launch date steadily creeping closer. Why did we wait so long? That’s an easy answer - we wanted it perfect. We wanted our customers to be FULLY satisfied with our product. We wanted the experience of SoftTIME Online to be so easy to use, so user friendly, that we researched for months the perfect web layout. Current users of SoftTIME will be happily surprised with the user interface - it performs almost identical to our award winning desktop application.
Now, I know what you’re asking yourself - so what’s the benefit of switching to a web based version of SoftTIME and how are we better than our competition?
Here are a few reasons why SoftTIME online is the ultimate attendance tracking package:
These are just a few reasons why SoftTIME Online would be beneficial to your company. I didn’t even mention our Leave Request system. One click approve/deny request functionality. That’s all I’m going to say for now. Stay tuned for more information later on this month. You can sign up for our latest updates newsletter, which will give you a chance to preview SoftTIME Online BEFORE IT LAUNCHES.

The rules on which employees are exempt from overtime may be complicated, but a recent court ruling highlights one simple fact:
Misapplying the exemptions can cost companies a lot of money.
TAC Worldwide, a Massachusetts-based staffing firm, has just agreed to pay $1.8 million in back wages to 973 employees who sued for being mistakenly classified as exempt from OT.
Most of the affected employees held IT-related positions. Job titles of those who sued include: network engineer, help desk representative, technical writer, software tester and network administrator.
A common classification mistake is focusing on title rather than actual job duties. Employees may have titles that sound exempt — but employers still need to look at what those employees do on a daily basis and make sure the duties match up with at least one of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s OT exemptions.
For more information on the exemptions, click here.

Tracking attendance can become a nightmare if an organization does not have an effective means to do so. Time management is a huge part of the human resources problem, and can quickly become a serious issue if the process is not streamlined. Creating schedules alone can be a very time consuming task for any manager. Throw in requests for paid time off, vacation, sick leave, and more, and the situation becomes very difficult indeed to manage. Doing so manually would be a full time job in and of itself even for a smaller company.
Tracking hours and attendance can not only be an administrative nightmare, but a financial one as well. If hours are not managed effectively, it can quickly lead to the company losing hours due to time theft and other problems. While it is easy to underestimate this problem in a small company, it can grow uncontrollably as the organization itself increases in size. Once a company has become too large for the HR department to manage on a personal basis, trouble can quickly follow.
How can this inefficiency and administrative overhead be avoided? Many smaller organizations, as well as large companies, have turned to lightweight time management solutions. With the advent of “software as a service”, affordable web based packages have made it possible to largely automate the attendance and time issue. SoftTIME is an excellent example of attendance control software that can help organizations of all sizes streamline their administrative processes. With a wealth of options, SoftTIME makes time management a simple and intuitive process.
Using SoftTIME, an employee can log in and request leave with up to 24 different leave categories. Managers can view archived attendance information and evaluate attendance trends over long periods of time. With such an abundance of information tracked in a completely paperless fashion, HR management has never been easier. Best of all, SoftTIME is a highly scalable solution as well. Small organizations can purchase an affordable XP license to manage their needs, while larger corporations can harness the flexibility of the TimeKRON Suite.
With the full TimeKRON package, an organization can move their attendance tracking and time management completely paperless. TimeKRON can also be integrated with hardware punch in/out systems, making it a highly flexible package that can work for almost any corporate environment. SoftTIME is just one tool of many that can help organizations to minimize time spent on administrative tasks.

This testimonial came across my desk today and I had to blog about it. This is why I enjoy my job.
“Here at Andy Frain Services, we use TimeKron to track employee time worked, projects and jobs, at many of the nation’s largest national & international special events - such as The U.S. Open Golf Tournament, Indy Champ Car Races, The Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction, and even the Florida State Fair.
We love TimeKron because it’s comprehensive, easy to use and flexible. It allows us to track hundreds of employees automatically and accurately with reports that give us what we need, when we need it. we can export data directly into our payroll system with the click of a mouse and it’s done.
We would also like to commend Software Techniques for having a professional and personable staff that has made all of our jobs easier.”
Scott Dennison
Managing Director of Andy Frain Services
We really appreciate this testimonial and we are so happy that you’re happy. It’s great to have companies aboard like yours.
