Multi User Time Clock Software

        

Do you have a large work site that makes collecting time and attendance information difficult? Perhaps you want each of your employees to be able to clock in and out of their own computers each day? Is collecting your time card information from different locations and then compiling it all and reporting on it centrally an administrative nightmare? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then Time Clock MTS is for you!

Time Clock MTS, when used in multi user mode allows you to make use of all of the powerful time and attendance features of the normal software while allowing you to have distributed data collection. You can then analyze this data from one location and produce your payroll reports in just minutes rather than hours. To accomplish this just install the normal Time Clock MTS program on a computer in your company. Using this software you can configure the system to suit your particular employee structure and to comply with your payroll software rules. For each computer you want to act as a Clock In / Out station you then need to install the Time Clock MTS Client program. When installed the Time Clock MTS Client will allow you to connect to your main Time Clock MTS database and allow employees to use that client computer to clock in or out.

A typical arrangement for the multi user version of Time Clock MTS can be shown in the following diagram:

In this arrangement one computer has been installed with the normal Time Clock MTS program and from this computer all program setup and reporting of your payroll information is carried out. The Time Clock MTS database has been re-located to your network server using the System Options page of Time Clock MTS. Three computers have been installed with the Time Clock MTS Client program and when installed they have been connected to the Time Clock MTS database on your network server. These three computers can now be used by your employees to clock in and out of Time Clock MTS and the data will be stored in the central database on the network server.

You can trial the multi user version of Time Clock MTS by just downloading the free trial of the normal Time Clock MTS program and the free trial of the Time Clock MTS Client program. For more help try reading the Using Time Clock MTS in Multi User Mode topic in our FAQ.
