Time and Attendance at Camellia Contracts

Camellia Contracts have been using the Focus time and attendance software for some time now and these manufacturers of intricate Glass Fibre moulded structures wrote to us saying “...how pleased we are in how Focus is operating."

"...A2T did a good job on site in installing the system & software for us. It was then a smooth process in inducting the staff onto the system and surprisingly, there were no major issues raised by the staff in Focus being implemented."

"It's proved beneficial in reducing time that staff lost in arriving late/leaving early. It is also saving both time & money in respect to the wages being accurately calculated on a weekly basis, without the need for the works manager to manually obtain the time sheets and calculate all the permutations of total hours worked/annual leave/sick leave/overtime that arise."

"It also relieved the necessity of staff signing themselves in/out in the event of a fire due to the ability to print off a Fire Report stating who's on the premises at any one time and this is a benefit in our fire risk assessments."

"Focus has proved reliable and when we have had any queries, the support from yourselves at A2T has been faultless."

"I would have no hesitation in recommending yourselves for similar installations.”

Focus Time and Attendance System chosen by Taunton Fabrications

Access-to-Time Ltd provides the right solution at the right price!

Award winnig steel fabrication & architectural metalwork business, Taunton Fabrications, is now using a Focus Lite hand scanner system supplied and fitted by A2T. The company employs around 50 staff at their head office in Taunton and needed to ensure that they chose a system that was robust, easy to use, expandable and cost effective - the Focus Lite system was the perfect choice.

Chief Executive, David Phelps said: "For some time we have operated a flexi working hour system in all departments. This enables staff to better balance their home/ work life, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to monitor. After researching the market we chose A2T because they were local and specialised in the type of product we were looking for. A2T were also able to wire in the system, connect it to our computer system and provide training to our administrators - it was essential that we used a supplier who could provide the complete package."

If you would like to know more about the system and how it can help you on a day-to-day basis then get in touch with Access-to-Time Ltd on 01761 410015 or use our enquiry form. You might be surprised at how easy and cost effective it is to implement a system.

Focus Time and Attendance System now has TOIL

Good afternoon...


Users of the Focus time and attendance system will be pleased to hear that TOIL or time off in lieu is now available within the system.

This allows the user to accrue time that is added to their holiday allowance so that they can take time off later to make up for the extra hours that have been worked over and above their normal working hours.

Employers can save money by implementing a TOIL system instead of paying overtime.

Employees also benefit from being able to accrue more holiday.

If you want a biometric clocking solution then the Hand scan or Handpunch terminals offer a good solution.

If you have an annual licence then get in touch with us and we will email you the new program or provide you with a link to it.

Employees say how much easier it is to clock instead of having to keep paper records. Payroll staff only have to check the results, no more lengthy calculations to cope with.

The Focus system also allows users to manage holiday and other absences very easily, see who is booked on holiday already with just a few clicks of the mouse, no more routing around holiday cards to see who is already booked off.

Breaking news...

McDonalds in Venezuela is using Handscan (also known as Hand Punch) terminals to monitor employees clocking at 85 sites.

They say they are cutting payroll costs by 22%!!

You too can save by implementing a system that prevents 'buddy punching' as it is known. The same terminals are supplied with several of the systems provided by Access-to-Time (A2T).

Installing a time and attendance system also improves employees arrival times. One of our most recent new customers commented that the number of late arrivals had dropped dramatically at their printing works in Chippenham, even when the Focus time and attendance system was running on a pilot run without even being fully implemented!

Saving time on calculations also helps the administrator of the payroll system. This may either be through carrying out the calculations needed on a weekly basis automatically or by providing an electronic export to stop double entry of data or for emailing to a payroll bureau.

Time Attendance with Biometrics

Time Attendance

Biometric time attendance is becoming more and more popular. The main two reasons for this are that the employee who is using the system does not need to remember to bring a badge, fob or other token with them to work to register their arrival and departure and it also eliminates the ability of one employee to clock another in or out.

The Ingersoll Rand Hand Punch or Handpunch or Handscan terminal is a very reliable means of Biometric time attendance recording.

You can also use the SY-780 Finger Print or the BioStation, these units work well in most environments but if your employees work in a more physical environment then we would recommend the Handscan terminals.
