• No Startup Expense: No hardware or software installation required. All you need is Internet access.

• Pay As You Go: Since there is no startup expense, NETtime requires no capital outlay. No longer do you have to “Wait until it’s in the budget.” Since the NETtime service is charged on a monthly basis you can, “Try it, if you don’t like it, cancel the service. You only pay for what you use”.

• No Upgrade Fees*: Have you ever asked: “What happens when I go over 2000 employees? Do I have to upgrade my system? Do I have to pay for software upgrades?” How would other software companies answer these questions? With NETtime the answer is obvious.

• Time America Administers the System: No need for costly MIS or TI maintenance. NETtime is hosted in a secure environment. Time America provides mirror backup servers, redundant Internet connections, UPS power system with backup diesel generators, and 24 hour monitoring. This alone would cost you more than the monthly charge for the service.

• Time America Secures Data: The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Data is backed up every night and moved to a remote location for added security.

• Rapid Deployment: Let’s say your opening 20 new locations in different states and one in Europe, and you need the system installed by Tuesday, what do you do? With NETtime you just give them the Internet address and the installation is done.

• Immediate Return On Investment: What’s the bottom line? What do all these benefits mean? With NETtime, you will save money starting Day One. No other system can offer the same results!

NETtime SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS:
Ease of Use - NETtime is a user-friendly menu-driven program that uses color-coded screens to simplify its use. All processes are clearly marked and follow a common operating thread throughout. NETtime allows you to select the sorting and browse window display order so that information can be arranged in an order most convenient to you. For example, you may want to sort employee selection listings by last name instead of employee number.

High Quality and Rapid Data Access - To ensure optimum product quality, NETtime was designed in accordance with industry standards for software development using Microsoft SQL Server, which is known to be one of the most powerful database systems available.

Multi-User - NETtime supports unlimited concurrent users. This means that multiple supervisors can edit data and run reports at the same time.

No Need For a Dedicated Computer - NETtime operates both “on-line” and "off-line" modes of operation. Employees using the employee login page will have their punches immediately posted to reports and timesheets (on-line) for administrators. Each employee will have a unique ID and password to access their own personal page. Employees utilizing either a TA520/530, TA620, or Hand Biometric Time and Data Terminal(s) will have their data processed at your request (off-line). With the NETtime Auto Process Function, you can automatically poll the data from the terminals, completely process the data, and generate system reports. This can be done unattended at night, which frees up your computer during business hours and provides you with the information you need the next morning!

No Limitations - NETtime has no limit on the number of employees, data collection points, schedules, pay rules, departments, jobs costing levels, security and benefits. It is designed to grow as your business grows!

Supports Multiple Pay Periods - NETtime supports weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay periods. Employees on different pay periods can run concurrently on the same system.

The terminals may be programmed with an "Answer Window" to answer the telephone only at a specified time(s).
