TimeTrex Time and Attendance

Good news! Thanks.

What kind of clock settings would we lose with a firmware upgrade? Previously scheduled bells?

As long as we don't lose fingerprint or RFID associations.

Find below a patch (which works in conjunction with patch above) which will take an Employee Other ID1 field (as text entry), and use it as the default "other_id1" on IN punches at the time-clock. We use punch level other_id1 as "Machine" - being a custom validated field, and emp...

OK - I walked over to the time-clock to schedule my 28 buzzer times to be shocked by the fact it only stores 8! Is this a hardware memory limit? Or just hard-coded? Kinda sad when a time-clock from the late 80's can handle up to 50 scheduled buzzer times, and this one 8. With three shifts, just doin...

Aha.. you mean walk over to the actual clock!

I was trying the web interface.. I was assuming you could administer the time-clock remotely.

I cannot login to the timeclock. Is there a special username/pw?

Our old Winstar time-clock controls our plant buzzer on a configurable schedule, and I'm wondering if the TT-A8 can handle this? I noticed there was an output cable that came with the box - so I'm thinking it should.. but I cannot login via the web interface of the TT-A8 - so not sure of configurati...

Here is the patch I'm using to only deduct the meal from the largest chunk of department time. Again Ideal patch would be a flag to meal policy to drive the logic, but I don't have the time atm. -Bob --- classes/modules/core/UserDateTotalFactory.class.php (revision 694) +++ classes/modules/core/User...

Our HR dept wants to change the pay period schedule from a Sun-Sat weekly schedule to a Mon-Sun weekly. I created a new pay period schedule for Mon-Sun. To switch all employees, do I just wait until we close the "last" Sun-Sat period, and then switch them all into new schedule? (of course ...

For those of you who cannot wait (like me!) you can do the following.. Prepare the report as you want it.. and just before you submit it, start wireshark (or tshark if you prefer CLI) and capture/listen on port 80 on the server (the machine running timetrex).. then click the "Display Report&quo...

Ya, I thought of that after I posted.. I've changed it to the following: SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(pay_stub_amendment.effective_date,'%d/%m/%Y') AS trans_date, users.user_name, pay_stub_amendment.amount, pay_stub_amendment.description FROM users, pay_stub_amendment WHERE users.id = pay_stub_amendment.use...

Only 25% of our employees actually transfer departments, so adding a step of punching "0" or dept code to every punch for every employee is a bit of a pain. If they do press "0", will the default department established for the employee still take effect? Ideally, it would be grea...

Excellent.. thanks! Specifically I'm doing this: SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(pay_stub_amendment.effective_date,'%d/%m/%Y') AS trans_date, users.user_name, pay_stub_amendment.amount, pay_stub_amendment.description FROM users, pay_stub_amendment WHERE users.id = pay_stub_amendment.user_id AND pay_stub_amendm...

In the past, it had been an issue because we had a bar-code swipe card - and the employees didn't carry these around.. but now they are using finger prints, so it might work. My HR guy is going to speak with the supervisors and get their feedback on this idea. I have a TT-A8. Can it work with this? ...

Transfer punches are so far, the biggest issue we have with TimeTrex. All our department transfers are done the following day - ie. not by the employees, but by the supervisors. So this means there is already an IN/OUT punch pair when they have to apply the transfer punch. Currently, for one transfe...

OK I have successfully exported necessary data via SQL - I'm extracting premiums, regular hours, ot hours, and absences. If anyone is interested in the SQLs - I'd be happy to post. The last hurdle I have is pay_stub_amendment ... the effective date is an integer and not a date. With a mysql query, h...

We need this ability as well. Hopefully there is something URL accessible.

Likely the best fix would be a meal policy flag "department allocation", which would have values "average" or "most time" or something like that. Of course I am happy to contribute anything back.. the one major piece I did was validated custom fields which I posted here...

Department #1: 1:24 Department #2: 6:35 (did you perhaps mix up the minutes when you wrote your post?) Yes - I was going from my memory, so yes I think you are correct and this is what it did. How do you calculate 1:30 and 6:30 for each department? Well, no one switches department in the middle of ...

OK, I have an afternoon shift (4:00pm - 12:30am) employee with an in and out punch (at 4pm and 12:30am) with 0:30 lunch deduction.. so 8:00 hours regular time. He switched departments after 1.5 hours, so I have to add a department transfer punch at 5:30pm. Unfortunately TimeTrex does not allow a sim...

Excellent - had no clue you could delete from that section!!

But yes that was exactly the problem.. thanks!

Ok - so the original holiday policy "scheduled" an absence on Dec 31st, and this scheduled absence is the problem.

But where can you see/edit/delete the scheduled absence? Its not part of the recurring schedule.

OK, with debugging enabled I get 850 lines of output just on clicking Delete.

The only "Holiday Found".. was New Years Day (Jan 1/09) which is ok. Its Dec 31/08 which I'm trying to delete.

Shall I post all 850 lines?

2.2.15 When I click on Delete.. the only thing that hits the logs is a couple of lines like this: ---------------[ Fri, 09 Jan 2009 08:44:01 -0500 (PID: 6884) ]--------------- ie. no DEBUG output for that particular action. I also checked the system_log database table and the apache2 logs.. nothing....
