AutoTime provides companies with significant benefits

AutoTime is extremely user-friendly. Both its time clocks and its web time cards are intuitive and streamlined.

AutoTime calculates the hours and costs of payroll in environments with complex work and pay rules. The system is extremely configurable and effectively date-driven so that when these policies change, the software does not have to be rewritten to accommodate the changes.

AutoTime provides the enterprise accurate, immediately available labor data if you require labor collection. The accuracy saves money by reducing the number of corrections made to data erroneously entered.

AutoTime utilizes the latest technologies while conforming to industry standards. From its component-based design and development to its scalable, browser-based deployment, AutoTime is a non-proprietary system that integrates well into your corporate enterprise.
