TIME AND ATTENDANCE SOFTWARE - OPTIONS- WORKFLOW

Workflow

Workflow is an automatic, paperless procedure with which you can give online approval to or refuse requests for vacation, business trips or forgotten booking corrections, for example, quickly and simply. An employee can place a request and then follow the progress of the request. Authorised managers are advised by e-mail that requests have been placed and can then approve them or by giving a corresponding reason, refuse them.

If a booking is forgotten or could not be made, workflow gives you the option to enter it retrospectively. The same is also true for booking absences such as vacation, external training courses or working from home. Through the use of macros, different transaction processes or standardised correction routines can be executed. Event project bookings (start, end, interrupt, etc.) can be recorded through the prime WebTime workflow option. This makes a significant contribution to reducing the workload on the HR department. Staff can also access reports tailored for individual needs at their own workplace, e.g, booking journals, vacation records, annual overviews, etc. The data is always up to date.

Company processes such as the definition of correction rights or the rules for providing staff cover are handled in the background through workflow. This ensures that each staff member can have access to the various data records and can process corresponding requests based on his/her function and level of authorisation.

A workflow request can go through a maximum of 99 authorisation levels in the so-called workflow structures. Several managers can be defined for each level with different authorisation types, e.g. pre, final or master approval or just read-only.

Once a request receives pre-approval, it is automatically forwarded to the next position in the hierarchy for the decision to be made at that level. The request can only be finally approved by anybody with end or master approval rights; it can however by refused by anybody with pre, final or master approval rights. In this way, prime WebTime offers a simple, targeted and flexible way to reach decisions about corrections and correction requests.
