What elementTIME does for you*
(*and your council)
Local government payroll has its challenges. Most payroll solutions don’t understand them, so don’t expect them to solve them.
elementTIME is built in direct collaboration with local government HR, payroll, financial teams, and field staff. Every user has a direct opportunity to share thoughts and ideas. Combine this with a dedicated team who believes passionately in the importance of local government and a solution built from the ground up to solve payroll noise.
The result is elementTIME – a solution packed full of features that actually matter, reduce payroll business noise, and allow you to evolve your council. All backed with award-winning support and customer empowerment.
elementTIME ensures your local government organisation meets its requirements and obligations through a solution that just makes payroll better.
Award interpretation
Whether you have 1 or 1,000 staff covered by an award, you still need to ensure they get all their entitlements, all the time.
elementTIME automatically works out if your staff entitlements are met for all your awards, for all your staff.
Rather than wait and hide away what the data means until the end of the process, elementTIME provides your staff visibility of the entitlements they get when they submit their timesheet. This ensures whoever is approving their timesheet is also fully aware of what they are approving.
Consistent and transparent. Pretty awesome right?
Timesheets that work
In the ideal world, staff should just have to confirm when they worked, what they did (and maybe what they used).
Welcome to the ideal world.
Whether they have multiple roles with multiple pay rates, or costing to multiple jobs needing approval from multiple managers, staff can record time retrospectively or in real-time.
They can also record the use of plant, apply for leave and ad hoc allowances, and view all their entitlements.
Timesheets that reflect full records of work? Check.
Leave
Whether it is accurately and transparently tracking entitlements or syncing leave directly into staff calendars, elementTIME makes leave… well, easy to leave.
From individual and shared leave calendars to fully automated workflow management. You can allow users and managers to make decisions about when they can take leave, not on whether they are allowed to.
elementTIME also provides leave budgeting, instance reporting and evidence management.
Leave that works for you.
Integrations
Entering the same data into multiple systems is frustrating (and leads to gaps), so elementTIME is system-agnostic by design.
Regardless of what you use, elementTIME plays nice.
From profiling leave requests and evidence into your HR and records systems, syncing with your user authentication tools, through to your chart of accounts and plant management.
elementTIME also plays nice with Outlook calendars for leave, records of work for payroll, and HR for employee master records.
Manage Once – View Everywhere. MOVE data like that.
Workflow and automation
Not every record of work is the same and as such it shouldn’t have to have just one workflow option.
elementTIME allows you to set a default workflow and also to provide detailed conditions for exceptions.
From higher duties to leave to excess-time to timesheets, you can set your workflow to ensure the right person is looped into the workflow at the right time when your council requires it.
elementTIME also allows you to reassign due to higher duties, and manually adjust workflows when you need to.
For accountability for what your staff need to be accountable for.
Mobile
Most of your workforce isn’t static all day, so their systems shouldn’t be either.
elementTIME allows you to support your staff to use the devices they have, where they work.
Whether it’s your casual workforce using their own devices or outdoor staff using vehicle mount tablets, elementTIME supports them with dedicated applications on top of its responsive design.
elementTIME allows mobile app users to do what they need to do with the devices they have, even when offline.
For personal and manager use, the elementTIME mobile app is a game changer.
