One vendor responded and provided an overview of its time accounting systems. The evaluation focused on the system's ability to support the agency's time and attendance administration and apply the complex Civil Service Time and Attendance Rules. This includes how information is gathered, captured, and processed for various leave categories, work schedules, and bargaining units. Equally important is the system's flexibility to provide management reports to monitor, analyze and present leave information in numerous formats. Another consideration was whether the system is transportable or if it can serve as a host for other agencies.
Supervisors certify records electronically and can print hard copies or browse past time records.
The system automatically calculates leave based on standard Time and Attendance Rules including Voluntary Reductions in Work Schedules, multiple shifts and the use of floating holidays. DOL can serve as a host for other agencies. Employees submit daily time records which are data entered into the system by central timekeepers at each location to process transactions for over 30,000 employees. It does not automate voluntary reductions in work schedule, floating holidays or part-time schedules. The application also has scheduling features to post leave requests and contains an extensive report subsystem to monitor overtime, hazardous duty and pre-shift briefing pay.
