Time Clock MTS Version 5.1.7 Released

Version 5.1.7 of Time Clock MTS was released today. The only change to this version was to address a bug with the calculation of sick and vacation time available that only took effect under the following circumstances: Rounding is turned off. AND the report end date is the day before the end of the fiscal year. AND the vacation/sick time accrual scheme doesn’t roll over annually AND the vacation/sick time accrual scheme is set to reset on the FY rather than the anniversary of Hire Date. The issue is now... read more

Corinth Fire Department and Time Clock MTS

Chief Lonnie Kuhn and the volunteer fire department in Corinth, Kentucky have been using Time Clock MTS.  Lonnie was kind enough to send through some information recently explaining how and why they are using Time Clock MTS.   Thank you for the registration key, and I love how your company helps out us little guys by allowing access to your software.   Our department began using Time Clock MTS several years ago, as we are a fully volunteer agency, this software has helped our agency significantly with reports showing our Rural Fire Board, as well as our County Fiscal Court the benefits that would come from the possibility of reimbursing our members with some type of monetary reimbursement (whether it be a stipend type reimbursement, or something of that nature (large annual get together, company picnic or something like that). By our agency showing the powers that be how much time our members devote to the Volunteer Fire Department, it has allowed a better understanding by them of what it takes for department to function, and just how much time our members devote to the department, away from their families and family functions.   Thank you greatly for allowing us the use of your software, and I look forward to contributing at some point in time in the future to the software.     Chief Lonnie Kuhn Corinth Fire... read more

Today we’ve released the final second last minor release of version 5 of Time Clock MTS (version 6 is under development right now). Here’s a summary of the changes made to this release:   The keypad data entry interface (see here to understand what that means) can now be re-sized and is actually useful when you’ve got the kiosk display mode activated. If an employee fails a fingerprint scan their last time punch details are not displayed. Fixed a problem with the keypad data entry interface that could stop an employee punching in or out if they were using the same badge number as a deleted... read more

Time Clock MTS at Severn Area Rescue Association

The Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) is close in-shore boat rescue and land search organization in the south west of the UK. It is run entirely on donations and they are using Time Clock MTS to track the activity of their volunteers and kindly supplied us with the information below explaining their use of the system. We are a Lifeboat and Mountain rescue charity based in the UK, up till now we have used a signing in book then have to work out the attendance by going through the book and trying to count the times. This was very time consuming for our volunteers and sometimes we had problems trying to read the names. Now we can just run a report of who and when our volunteers clocked in. We do not use the overtime and wages facilities due to being all volunteers, but this great bit of software has helped us cut our volunteers hours for admin. Pros: Easy to set up and use by our volunteers. Easy to run reports saving us many hours of admin time. Cons: For us it would be good if we could disable some of the facilities we don’t use. Otherwise none. A mobile app for Iphone and android phones would be good so out volunteers can log admin / fundraising hours when not at the Lifeboat station. Summary: Great easy to use software with great support. Helping us to cut our volunteers admin times enabling them to concentrate on saving lives and training. We recommend this software to any charity or business looking for a clocking in... read more
