(1-5 of 5)Timekeeper keeps a lot of my time.
- HR suite integration
- Employee Self-Service
- Timekeeping and Payroll
- Scheduling shifts for FT employees
- Generating reports can be cumbersome and is limited in terms of parameters.
- Auto generating schedules is a great tool but rather than 'x' number of days I wish a date range was available.
- Editing and updating the ASM is very time consuming.
- Generating schedules is solely qualification based with little nuance for an employee eccentric approach.

- Scheduling still takes longer than it had with our previous software, requiring additional man hours.
- It has centralized our HR, payroll, timekeeping and scheduling.
- A web based software system allows for more flexibility in terms of accessing it remotely and checking staff in.

- Timekeeping
- Self-Service
- The ability to have multiple check in locations for our game day staff has allowed us to be more efficient with staffing. Rather than one location indoors that would back up easily our employees can now go to their specific briefing area more quickly.
- Since generating schedules on a monthly basis across multiple departments is very time consuming the ability to auto generate during non-business hours has been a tremendous help.
- I don't believe we will be utilizing the software much longer as it is limited to meet our business needs.

NovaTime use in a company of 60
- Processing payroll is quite simple.
- PTO request off is straight forward.
- It's rather intuitive in use.
- It can be very slow and delayed in punches.
- It doesn't always capture everyone's punches immediately.
- There are quite a few areas where you have to be mindful of saving it correctly otherwise the information is all lost and that can be frustrating for users.
- We have had a few scenarios where the PTO accrual dropped off and it did take 3 attempts of reaching out to customer service to get it sorted.
- The customer service team has collaborated with me in creating new PTO categories to automate certain needs to save me some time.
It’s time for everyone to use Novatime!

Time for a Change?
- It has some really nice scheduling features that allow managers to see the difference between hours expected to work and actual hours worked as well as overtime, absences, and non-scheduled shifts.
- There are easy ways you can transfer a manager's caseload/employees to another manager temporarily if that person is going to be out of the office for an extended period of time without giving away too much personal information - just what would be needed for payroll or time off requests (this can be customized by your administrator).
- The program itself can be customized in many different ways to meet the needs of the company/organization that it is working with.
- The charts/graphs on the new homepage are somewhat helpful and link to useful information.
- You cannot write your own reports. All of the reports are canned ones and if you want one that is not included, you have to go through their design team and pay for it to be added to the list.
- Since they have "upgraded" their tabs and added things to their pages, their site has slowed down and it takes much longer for some of their pages to load because of the amount of information that is now stored on each of their individual pages. It is nice to have all that information on one page, but it does take longer for it to come up.
- The scheduling system is set up for organizations that have set schedules and/or multiple people on the same schedule (i.e. 3 people who work 9-3; 5 people who work 3-7; 4 people who work 4-11). If you have only one person who works each individual shift, the scheduling feature is not as helpful. It still works to show actual vs. worked hours and such; however, it will not work as easily to help fill in missing spots if one of your employees is on leave and/or absent.
- It has helped us identify which employees have consistently had OT.
- It has helped us identify which departments have consistently had OT and/or not utilized their staff to keep OT in check.
On the manager's side of things, Novatime is also fairly easy to use. It highlights in red any missed punches and in green any OT that the employee has. There are links on the homepage of the manager's page that will lead them to a list of all their employees' missed punches for a pay period and they can fix them all before payroll is due.
Novatime becomes a bit more complicated on the administrator's side. The issues I have run into with Novatime normally come after updates/upgrades to their system. They have been getting better, but the administrator's side is still a bit clunky and takes a while to find what you are looking for. It is not as intuitive as the other sides and takes a bit of computer knowledge to figure it out.
