Employees use this screen to manage their own time off requests.

One of the major new features in Time Clock MTS Version 4 is the ability for employees to be able to request time off directly from your employee timeclock system. These requests can then be processed by the time clock administrator to automatically create time card entries of the correct type for the employee. The time off request system is integrated with the Employee Bulletin System so that employees will be automatically notified of the leave request approval status.

Time Clock MTS Version 4 Feature Preview – Reports User

The Reports User Login Screen

The Reports User Login Screen


Over the last year or two a lot of Time Clock MTS users have asked for some more flexibility with regards to who can and cannot run Time Clock MTS reports. We’re happy to say that Time Clock MTS version 4 is going to include a “reports user” (see the login screen above). The reports user will be able to log into any Time Clock MTS Client or the Time Clock MTS administrator program and run any employee timecard report. If they log into the Time Clock MTS administrator program they can only run reports, they will not have access to any other administrative functions. The Time Clock MTS administrator will be able to turn the reports user functionality on or off and set the password for this user on the re-designed Interface Settings screen.

Time Clock MTS Version 4 Feature Preview – Importing Employees

One of the interesting new features in Time Clock MTS Version 4 is the ability to do a bulk import of employees from an Excel spreadsheet. Above you can see what the import employee screen is going to look like. Creating a spreadsheet for importing is going to be simple. Users can click on the Open XLS Template button on the screen above which will open up Excel with a template worksheet including all column headers and helper text showing how to fill in column values. Alternatively we’ve also included the ability to export all the employees in your Time Clock MTS database to Excel. This file could then be used as a basis to import a new batch of employees into your timeclock software system
