ADP TimeSaver Procedures Revision date: 04/22/2013

NEW BRUNSWICK BOARD OF EDUCATION ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND PROCEDURES

Procedures for using the Electronic Sign-‐In

All employees will clock in and clock out using the time clocks located at each building. Access will be provided at all district buildings. The Aesop system for advanced absences will still be in place and there are no changes to that procedure. Employees will also continue to fill out a time sheet for all extra pay and overtime.

Each employee will receive a new photo ID card that will be used as their identification and proximity card to clock in for attendance purposes. A finger enrollment will be used as a secondary unique identifier to clock in. Refer to the attached biometric guide for correct finger placement. In order to avoid verification errors at the clock, please remember your finger placement at the time of successful enrollment. Also please memorize the first five digits on the back of the badge. This number can be used when you forget your badge.

Example: The badge number on this card id “00572” (On some cards the badge number appears on the top left side of the card see page 3)

The system will not work until both steps have been accomplished. To begin using the electronic sign-‐in simply aim the proximity card to the clock. The card works even inside a plastic card case. You should hear a beep and see the message “place finger on reader”. Make sure to see the message “punch accepted and your name”.

Clocking in and out is extremely important. The attendance and payroll responsibility is on the individual. You will now have the ability to check the website from your computer at home or in school. Make sure to review the system and approve your time. Failure to use the system can result in being docked and receiving a letter from the Superintendent.

The AESOP system will continue to be utilized for entering absences and viewing attendance balances. Absence information is automatically being imported into TimeSaver on a daily basis. No changes have been made. Refer to AESOP procedures on our district webpage. Attendance issues will be handled by the Payroll Department. Only family, sick and medical leaves will continue to be handled by the Benefits Coordinator.

Troubleshooting

• Verification Error message o Signifies trouble reading the finger placement; relax, check finger placement and try at least

6 times before using the ADP Time Entry System to enter in your punch information into the notes area. You must place the finger the same way as when you enrolled the first time.

§ Tips: try to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer, clean the finger pad with hand sanitizing lotion.

§ If you are having more than 6 verification errors, please send an email to Myriam Heredia so I may adjust the settings for your particular record.

o Recently applied hand lotion or moving finger around will cause error messages. Hand sanitizer evaporates and therefore does not interfere with finger identification.

• Invalid data – means you are not ready to use the system. Please email Myriam Heredia. If you are a

new hire, use the ADP Timesaver form until the issue is corrected. If you received a new badge, enter in your punch information into the Time Entry system notes area until the issue is corrected.

• Clock does not beep when you aim card – means card is not readable, schedule an appointment

with HR to receive a new card and continue to use your old badge number at the clock. It takes a day or two for your new card number to be uploaded into the system, continue to enter in your old badge number until the card reads “finger not enrolled” at that point have a Principal, HR or Myriam Heredia re-‐enroll your finger. You will need to have your finger re-‐enrolled by your supervisor.

• The ADP Timesaver form will be available at the Principal/Supervisor office. This form will only be

used when there is an “invalid data” error message for new hires. o Forget your badge? – you will have access to enter in your badge number at the clock. Take a

moment to look at the numbers on the back of your proximity badge. Look at the first five numbers on the back side under the strip. Each badge has a unique number. Remember your number and do not share this number! Instruction on the following page.

o Forget to punch IN? – check the last clock used or the web if you are not sure whether you did. Explanations follow below. You must punch in when you remember and then enter a note explaining why you forgot. NOTES CAN ONLY BE ENTERED ATTACHED TO A PUNCH. They can be entered for a different day just make sure to reference the date you wish the note to be applied to. PENALTIES WILL APPLY for not clocking-‐ CAN RESULT IN BEING DOCKED.

o Forget to punch OUT? –If you forgot your “out” punch, enter in an explanation as soon as possible into the TimeSaver system. Reminder: you can check the TimeSaver website from home. Explanations follow below. Do not use a form, inform your Supervisor the following day. The Supervisor should then make a notation on the employee time card.

o Leaving early? -‐ If you are leaving early, please enter a note in the TimeSaver System. Make sure to inform your Supervisor for approval via the TimeSaver System. Also make sure to punch out when you leave for the day.

• Lunch break-‐

o Please punch in and out for lunch if you are leaving the building. • Traveling employees -‐

o Until further notice, you are to clock in at the beginning of the day and clock out at the ending of the day at whatever school you work on any given day.

• Going offsite? o Enter in a school business day in AESOP – enter an explanation.

• Not sure if you punched? Go to the clock last used or use the web time entry to look it up-‐ refer to the next page. If you did not clock in make sure to do so as soon as you remember. If you missed the first punch of the week, you must punch in first to be able to leave a note in the system explaining the correct time of the punch and why you forgot.

The following rule was used (if this rule doesn’t apply see next page for 2nd rule):

• First initial followed by the number 9 then the last name and possible 0 zeroes at the end. If your name has a suffix, Jr. It will be added to the end. Refer to your badge.

• Last names with 6 characters or more would have no zero; for last names that are only 5 characters long a zero 0 will added to the end; 4 characters will receive 2 zeroes 00, etc.

• Example: Jane Doe would be J9Doe000; John Smith would be J9Smith0; J Doe Jr. would be JDoeJr. ; J Doe Jr would be J9DoeJr0. Refer to your badge for the correction punctuation. Some names may have a period at the end of the suffix.

Password: pass1234

• Temporary first time use and reset password is “pass1234” it is case sensitive. • You will receive a prompt to change your password. • It must be between 8 and 20 characters, use at least one number and use at least one

letter. It cannot be the same as your Username. Do not use more than three repeating characters. If you become locked out of TimeSaver, contact the Payroll Dept. or the Asst. Business Administrator.

For the employees that cannot log in to the Time Entry system with the first rule, the following rule will be used:

First initial followed by the employee ID that is printed on the proximity badge (numbers are in red ink on the front of the badge). Employee ID numbers range from 1 to 6 digits. It may be necessary to insert leading zeroes in front of the ID number to get a minimum of 8 digits.

For Example:

If the ID number is 4236 use M0004236 to achieve a minimum of 8 digits

If the ID number is 45367 use M0045367 and so forth

TIME ENTRIES TAB

The Time Entries tab will list in and out punches. Absences from Aesop will be seen under the Pay Code column. Refer to the Pay Codes page. Example: “S” refers to a full sick day

Pay code “S” represents a sick day entered through AESOP. Pay code “SA” represents a half am sick day

• If you entered a ½ day on Aesop it will be brought over into TimeSaver if it was submitted prior to your cutoff time. AESOP information is imported into TimeSaver by 9:15 AM.

• Punches must be paired otherwise it will cause a missed punch. Meaning if you punch “in”, you must punch “out”.

• Please remember to punch “in” and “out” when leaving early or coming in late. • There is a 3 minute wait in order to enter two punches back to back so that they will be

registered properly.

ADP Timesaver Attendance System Missed Punch and Time Card Approval Policy

All employees are required to electronically sign in/out every day. Employees who do not punch in or out for any reason must adhere to the following procedures:

Ø Any employee who misses a punch MUST put a note by logging on the ADP Timesaver system. The note MUST state why they missed that punch and what time they arrived or left work. Emails or phone calls will not be an acceptable method of communication for missed punches.

Ø Employees must log on to the system to review and approve their time card for that previous week.

Each week is from Sunday to Saturday. Employees should log on every Monday to approve their time card and this can be done from anywhere you can access the internet.

Ø Failure to sign into the system is not an excuse to not approve time cards and if an employee cannot

sign in they must contact Myriam Heredia for their sign-‐in information immediately.

Ø Employees who do not input a note for any missed punches will be docked a half a day for that missed punch. Notes MUST be inputted into the system in order for payroll to input the correct time and for you to approve your time card. The assumption is that if you did not punch out you took a half a day until you input the explanation into the ADP system. The key is to give us the information we need to correct the missed punch so your timecard is accurate without any missed punches.

Ø Employees who receive overtime or extra pay will not receive that overtime or extra pay for that

period unless there is a note for any missed punches. Notes must include time in or out and explanation. Notes entered in late will result in payment in another pay period. Timesheets must also be submitted and will be compared to system entries.

Ø No overtime or extra pay will be paid to an employee who has not approved their time card.

Ø Employees who miss 5 punches in a school year will receive a letter of reprimand and the letter goes

in the personnel/payroll file. This letter will include a warning that any subsequent missed punches may result in an employee being suspended without pay.

Ø Employees who miss 6 -‐9 punches will receive another warning letter for each occurrence and will

have to explain in writing why they continue to forget to punch in/out. A meeting with the Superintendent and/or Business Administrator may also be scheduled.

Ø Employees who miss 10 punches or more in a school year will be subject to being suspended without pay for a full day for each missed punch thereafter.

Ø Employees cannot work through their lunch and leave early. Employees will not be paid overtime for

working through lunch.

Ø Employees who do not approve their time cards will be subject to the same penalties above for missing punches.

Should you need any additional information, please contact my office. Thank you.

Mr. Richard D. Jannarone Business Administrator/Board Secretary
