What
is Time Wolf Zephyr?
Time
Wolf Zephyr is a proximity badge terminal and automated time &
attendance software capable of time tracking, calculating standard
rules (breaks, overtime, vacation, holidays, exceptions, etc.),
generating detailed reports and exporting time & attendance data
to most payroll applications. Simply Stated: Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 is
the latest in Time & Attendance technology that can automate
your labor management process while saving you time & money.
Company
Policies
Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0
is designed for single or multiple policy settings. While Time Wolf
is basically ready, right out of the box, it delivers the
flexibility for intricate company configuration, while maintaining
simplicity for businesses with fewer needs.
With
Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 you can easily assign policies to new
employees, with customized rules. You can also set the Time Wolf
System to recognize how long the employee has been with the company
and to change policies automatically the longer they have been with
the company. Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 lets you easily set break times,
early, late & on time grace periods to your company’s
specifications. Time Wolf is even capable of Auto deducting lunches
or breaks based on time worked. Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 also uses
departments, where you can have an unlimited amount of departments
and organize work hours by having employees change department.
Overtime
With
Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0, tracking overtime has never been easier.
Calculate overtime by week, day or both. Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 also
gives you the ability to let supervisors approve or deny overtime
automatically or manually.
Sick
/ Vacation / Holiday
Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0
allows you to enter your own accrual formulas. Employees gain
accrued vacation and or sick days based on actual hours worked and
the rules you specify. Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0 is also equipped to
handle holidays. Meaning you can insert specified paid holidays.
Time Wolf 4.o even lets you ser “worked holiday rate” to track
those employees who do work on the specified holiday at special
rates.
Manager
& Employee Modules
Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0
comes in two different modules: the Employee module and the Manager
Module. Supervisors and administrators will use the manager module
to set up policies, rules and to track and make changes to time
cards, reports and other company rules. The manager module also
allows administrators to set security access for supervisors and
managers. Meaning, you have the ability as an administrator to allow
supervisors or managers open the manager module to make changes to
timecards but not see social security numbers, wages etc. Time Wolf Zephyr 4.0
gives the administrators all the control…peace of mind included.
The
employee module is what employees clock in / out with. A very simple
to use interface directs employees to enter their username and
password, so that they can clock in/out. Supervisors also have the
ability to allow employees to view and print specified reports from
the employee module.
Automatic
Backups
The
automatic backup feature creates a copy of all primary data files on
scheduled intervals. This feature provides added security of
collected data, should primary data files become lost or corrupted.
The
Zephyr Overview
The
Time Wolf Zephyr is our entry level time clock, bringing
you the power of an automated time & attendance terminal at a cost effective price. The
Zephyr is compact in design and easy to use. It allows the user to clock in & out via contactless
badge reader or keypad. The user also has the option of viewing their last recorded time,
transferring departments, or even entering other information like tips, miles, etc.
The large LCD provides maximum readability, and the on-board speaker provides audible & verbal
confirmation of a complete or incomplete transaction. The Zephyr also comes with an
internal bell scheduler allowing you to use the internal speaker to signal common start, end and
break times. In addition, data can be optionally downloaded directly from the Zephyr, via a USB
disk drive (included with purchase) making the Zephyr great for locations without physical
connectivity. For example construction sites, landscape vehicles, etc.
The Zephyr comes standard with two easy ways to connect to the Time
Wolf Time & Attendance System. The Time Wolf Zephyr comes with a 50
in. RS-232 cable for direct communication to a PC. The Zephyr also
comes standard with a TCP/IP Ethernet port for communication across a
network. The Time Wolf Zephyr comes with both options for no additional
price, so use the best connection for you!
How
It Works
While most users will simply clock in & out, often in
less than 20 ms, the user friendly interactive menus give users the ability to transfer department, enter
other information such as tips, miles etc.
The Time Wolf Zephyr is capable of gathering user information in two simple ways. The keypad allows
the employee to enter a unique PIN and password or the employee can use a
contactless badge. The Time Wolf Zephyr is a “swipe and go” system and employees
never need to select “in or out” during the time & attendance process.
The data collected by the Time Wolf Zephyr terminal is then sent to the
Time Wolf Time & Attendance System.
With Time Wolf, detailed reports can be generated, exceptions tracked, and data passed on to payroll
for check processing.
