Overview:
TouchPoint can be configured to record clerk time & attendance and calculate the hours worked & pay.
Pay rates per clerk per hour can be set based on a specific date range or time period. Multiple pay rates can be configured.
Clerks can clock in at the beginning of a shift and then clock out at the end of the shift.
Break Out / In buttons can be configured to record staff breaks within a shift.
The hours worked can be manually adjusted, if required, via TouchOffice Web.
A selection of time & attendance reports are available in TouchOffice Web.
