Andrews <br /> ® r- Technology <br /> Novatime Software & Hardware Functions and Capabilities <br /> May 11, 2016 <br /> Ms. Jane Hines <br /> City of Sunny Isles Beach <br /> 18070 Collins Ave <br /> Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 <br /> Dear Ms. Hines: <br /> The following section details the functions and capabilities of both the Novatime software and hardware. <br /> Novatime is a leading web based Time &Attendance solution designed to automate the process of tracking hours worked <br /> (regular/overtime/comptime) and accruals. At the end of each pay-period the hours and accrual balances can be <br /> electronically sent over to Edmunds MCSJ through Novatime's payroll export functionality. The system can support an <br /> unlimited number of employees and managers/users. Employees can punch in/out through several different data collection <br /> devices including PC, Pin Entry, Card Swipe, Biometric Finger, Biometric Hand, Phone, and smartphone applications. <br /> Novatime also provides employees with Self Service capabilities through PC, time clock, and smart phone. Through the <br /> Employee Self Service functionality employees can do any or all of the following: view timesheet, view schedules, view <br /> status of accruals, electronically request time off, submit and track expenses. <br /> The features of the Novatime software and hardware are best reviewed in-person during a presentation. We strongly <br /> recommend a presentation in person, or through webex with the City prior to the contract award. This would allow <br /> the City to ask questions on our response and see a demonstration of the software & hardware prior to making the award. <br /> slow are several highlights of the software and hardware: <br /> Software Functionality Highlights <br /> • Notification Module: One of the more state-of-the-art features in Novatime 4000. With this module the system <br /> can alert employees and/or managers as things occur by email or text message in real time. Examples include: <br /> sending email/text letting an employee know they are "X" minutes late... its 9:30am and they were supposed to <br /> punch in by 9am and never did. Managers can get the same alert letting them know how many of their staff have <br /> not shown up yet.The Notification module can be used many different ways. Best described over a demo. <br /> • Delegation Module: Allows a manager to assign their normal responsibilities to another manager if they will be <br /> out on vacation. Items get rerouted to the replacement manager and automatically go back to the normal <br /> manager the day they return. <br /> • Retropay Module: Retro Pay allows selected payroll personnel to enter hours into a previously closed pay period <br /> that the time was missed for payment in the current payroll, but all hours are charged to the pay period they <br /> were worked in for reporting etc. <br /> • Dashboard: Customizable dashboard for each manager. Allows managers to work much more efficiently in <br /> Novatime.The dashboard was designed to allow managers to get in and out of Novatime faster after completing <br /> their tasks. Best discussed during a demo. <br /> • Employee Web Services: Allows employees to punch in/out at a PC. Allows employees to check their time record <br /> or schedule from a PC. Allows employees to view status of sick/vacation/personal days. Allows employees to <br /> electronically request time off. <br /> • Mobile Applications: Allows employees to download applications for Androids, iPhones and iPads. Employees <br /> can be allowed to punch from mobile applications. If so their punch will be GPS tracked. They can also be allowed <br /> to do other things, see their schedule, see their timesheet, request a day off right from their phone. <br /> • 1 Click Shortcuts: Shortcuts that allow supervisors to easily bounce back and forth from an employee's <br /> timesheet, to their schedule, to their HR record without having to jump into different sections of the system. <br /> 1213 Culbreth Drive.
