1 FOLLOW The FTS In and Out system fts IO The formula for time

2 The facts and figures A staggering 522* was the median cost of absence per employee per annum for private businesses in the UK in We offer cost effective solutions that will streamline your organisation, saving much needed money, time and resources enabling your HR team to get on with tasks such as rewarding and appraising your employees. Going paperless with our system can save not only time spent but also money by eradicating the massive amounts of paper wasted by manual time sheet entry. The average employee is expected to use 10,000 sheets of paper each, that s 4 boxes of paper a year of which 68% are considered to be wasted, that s the equivalent of 4.48 trees per person per year. As a business going paperless can make a huge difference to your environmental footprint. * Statistic taken from CIPD absence management survey 2016 How fts seeks to help your business grow and develop We at fts are passionate about people and believe we ve developed the formula to help streamline your business and ensure communication within the workforce is seamless and without error. We design, develop and provide bespoke time and attendance and project management software as well as offering full HR capabilities through our partner CIPHR. We supply systems to a myriad of business sectors and sizes; our software is fully configurable to meet your businesses unique needs and requirements. 2

3 The benefits of a system to the employee 1. More accurate pay With less human error an automated time card will give hourly rate staff a true value of their efforts. Making them happier in the long run. 2. Increased Fairness The transparency of the time capturing system enables super user s to view real-time clocking data, and in turn those who consistently turn up late, take longer lunch hours and leave early. Conscientious employees can therefore be rewarded and recognised for their value to work ethic, those that are slacking can be identified easily and encouraged a little by their managers. Biometric fingerprint scanning will eliminate the buddy clocking situation of the past 3. Improved job satisfaction When employees are putting in extra hours, sometimes the true cost of unpaid overtime goes unnoticed. Leaving employees feeling worn down or demotivated. Those that put in extra hours every day, sometimes for weeks on end or months on a project can be recognised easily. Giving the employer the option to notice and either reward or give a more balanced workload. Leading to increased morale and job satisfaction 3

4 The terminal The fts terminal is perfect for businesses of any size. With the option of using the extremely accurate built in biometric scanner or the RFID card scanner this terminal is ideal for small business as well as large. This easy to use tablet only requires power and Wi-Fi connection to take employee clocking. With the tablet connecting to your main database via your Wi-Fi connection you will be able to review all clocking taken through the tablet from your computer at any time, allowing you to see what time employees have arrived and who is absent. fts IO is a web-based solution which offers complete management of attended time. We offer accurate clocking terminals as well as the ability for employees to clock using their PC, tablet or mobile phone. Our most common product is the biometric fingerprint scanner due to level of security it offers, with this solution the possibility of buddy clocking becomes a thing of the past giving you accurate attendance times for every employee. 4

5 The fts mobile clocking App The fts mobile clocking application works in the same way as the terminal to post clocking s in the online system. Employees can download this on any smart phone from the app store. The app can be logged into manually by entering the personal account details or by using Face or Touch ID. Once inside, the employee can set a photo for their account. This will not be in the system but will show on the home page of the app. When inside the App you can make clocking s, view your clocking card and send Queries to the administrator. The App uses GPS location recording to plot an employee s clocking location by dropping a pin on the map, this means that the location in which the clocking is made can be seen by the administrator to ensure they are at the correct location when making a clocking. This feature pinpoints the employee s location from where the clocking is made and doesn t track the employee throughout the shift making it fully GDPR compliant. The application is perfect for a range of uses including office, factory and especially site work. 5

6 Who s In, Monitoring employee clocking With our in and out system, ftsio, there will only be a minimal amount of moderation to be done. Saving you both time and money when it comes to exporting worked hours for payroll. This is done through our online system which can be reviewed on any device with an internet connection. On the left you can see the main home page of the in and out system. This is where all your moderation will be done. When using the system your time will be mostly spent on the top tab of the drop-down menu. This is the Clocking s and Exceptions page. It is where you will see the hours worked by your employees. On the right you can see an example of how an employee s clocking record may look. This gives you the options to look at the current working week s hours as well as reviewing the hours worked in past weeks. From this page you can see the time that the employee has clocked in, clocked out, the hours worked that day and a total of the hours worked in that week. 6

7 Who s In, Monitoring employee clocking The screen on the left is the Employees clocked in page. This shows the employees that are currently in and that have been clocked in for over 24 hours (highlighting they may have forgotten to clock out). This is a pop up window that auto refreshes so you can have it open in the background when working on your computer and periodically check to make sure employees are clocking in when expected. With the location recording function in the app you will be able to see the location of an employee when they first make a clocking. This is a useful function for employers who have staff working across different locations on different days or for industry s like building and maintenance in which employees will be working at different locations. The locations of clocking made by employees can be viewed on the employee locations window. 7

10 What our customers have to say: We have been using Formula Time Systems for our time management for a few months and this system has made a huge improvement for us. The system is very user friendly and very simple to use, and the customer service has been absolutely first class, both in setting the system up, and in training and technical support. I would highly recommend them to any prospective customer. It has made a big positive difference to our business. Paul Kinsella - Merseyside Police Federation We have dealt with Formula time systems since They provide us with the software programme to enable us to process our staff time and attendance data. They have always been very helpful and approachable, stopping by the office to help with any problems and updates. Also easily reach via phone or if needed. Highly recommended. Sharon Brooks - Chemigraphic Ltd (Electronics Manufacturing Services) ftstime have been instrumental in implementing our vision of a real time touch screen system to allow shop floor planning data, display and collection. Working closely and in conjunction with us ftstime have developed a system to work seamlessly with our main business system. Enabling us to plan, display and collect shop floor data and post this information to our business system giving accurate time and cost data collection. The system has been developed in a modular way such that implementation could be phased in line with business requirements. Trevor Metherell - The Barden Corporation (Schaeffler Group) Enjoying working with the team at FTS on getting our system in place. We have a number of sites and almost as many clocking schedules as people. The team at FTS have taken all this in their stride and helped construct a system that works for us and our staff to give reliable and consistent attendance data to drive our payroll. Fiona Greensmith - PelGar International fts247 has revolutionised the way we work at Hoad and Bonard. Eliminating the use of time sheets has really freed up extra time in the office and streamlined payroll. Our integrated biometric reader is fitted by the workshop door so that staff need only to tap in and out using a finger, our employees have found the ability to view their own clockcard and holiday balance on the biometric terminal most useful. The capability to use mobile clocking is great for our construction team when on site. It means that they needn t call in at the workshop to log their hours saving a sometimeslengthy detour on their way home. The team at fts have been stars from our first meeting to running our system now. Installation was brisk and hassle free whilst the training received was comprehensive and informative. Nevertheless the team are always at the end of the phone and more than happy to help when I have a query and need support. George Hoad - Hoad & Bonard (Bespoke Kitchen and Furniture Design Company) We signed up with Formula Time Systems in October Andy was really helpful and well informed about his product. We have quite an unusual shift pattern and no matter what I asked or how many times I called, Tallulah, Chris and Andy were always friendly and professional and more importantly, got everything sorted for us. I would recommend Formula Time Systems all the way, friendly, helpful, professional and approachable. Thanks Guys you make my life easier! Jackie Gillam - Aluserv Ltd 10
