Las Vegas, NV — July 6, 2011 — Pacific Timesheet has announced support for Actatek 3 time clocks which includes advanced video server and employee access control features.
Jim Dickerson VP of Operations explains, "Actatek 3, the third generation of Actatek 100% web-based time clocks, provides unparalleled features for our time and attendance systems." Dickerson continued, "Buddy punching has been a major problem for smart card or proximity card time clock systems. Pacific Timesheet Actatek 3 time clocks now support video server technology that records the 10 seconds before and after an employee clock in or clock out."
The Actatek 3 time clock video server interface records streaming video from each time clock 24/7/365. Whenever a clock in or clock out occurs a video snippet ten seconds before and after the event on time clock’s video stream is tagged on the server. Supervisors and administrators can later audit employee clock ins and clock outs by drilling down into a punch in/out event to authenticate that the actual employee is punching himself in or out. Dickerson continued, "Authentication is the name of the game in time and attendance systems. And biometric time clocks are only one solution. With Pacific Timesheet Actatek 3 video server technology, managers can now authenticate employee time and attendance for smart card and proximity card solutions."

A SaaS Timesheet System That's YOURS!
Six Principles of Customer-Centric SaaS Time and Work Tracking
You've spent decades building your company name. Why does your time tracking system promote someone else's?
Pacific Timesheet promotes the most important company in your universe -- YOURS!
Unlike most others, Pacific Timesheet's SaaS Timesheet systems are branded with YOUR company logo, and all of our web pages bear YOUR company's name, not ours. As the technology leader in SaaS time and work tracking we don't need to promote our name, we'd rather promote your company's.
But there's more to this than meets the user's eye.
Six Principles of Customer-Centric SaaS time and work tracking:
What does customer-centric mean? It means your SaaS timesheet system is centered around your company, not ours. It means that the system is clearly marked as your company's system. There's also no confusion about who owns the system, the data or that the data will only be used by your company.
1. Trust: What's this website? What's this URL? Your SaaS system URL should always contain your company name. Users will trust a website url with your company's name. This tells employees and clients that this is the official time and work tracking system of your company.
2. Clarity: the login page should be clearly marked with your company logo, any custom announcements for employees should be clearly visible, and all pages of the site should bear your company's name. For a client-facing business (like staffing or consulting) where their might be client approvals (like construction or field services), or for a business where users or approvers might come and go, you want no confusion about who's time tracking system it is. It's yours!
3. Compliance: when employees see that a SaaS time and work system is clearly marked as their company's they understand this is a critical company system to be taken seriously, a system with which they must comply as part of their job.
4. Security: when clearly marked as your system, and all communications are secure (SSL) all employee, time and work data is understood to be securely managed -- that employees' entered data will only be used by your company -- that their employee master data will never be used outside their company, sold to third parties or compromised in any way.
5. Clearly-marked reminder and notification emails: are they spam? No they are important messages from my company reminding me to submit my timesheet or to approve timesheets or a leave request, or telling me that I am late in doing so.
6. Authentic Ownership: More than a brand or web page name, a SaaS timesheet system should feel like a custom fit, not like it's off the rack. The layout of timesheets, policies, notices, workflows and security permissions should be your company's. Then employees and other stakeholders in the system feel like they own it -- that it is an authentic system for the company.
Only time tracking systems that create trust, have clearly marked interfaces and email communications, robust security, and are custom fit to your business promote employee compliance and achieve the highest levels of performance.

Creating annual reports that group data by week
With a little SQL you can group your timesheet data by week...
This blog post discusses how you can create an annual timesheet report that groups or summarizes data by week. Normally when running timesheet reports, such as Employee Hours, the data is totaled for the entire reporting period. For example, the Employee Hours by Task report looks something like this when run year-to-date:
You can have this report summarize the data in weekly groups by using the following SQL as a grouping:
STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(YEARWEEK(t_timeentry.strt,0),'0'),'%x%v%w')
This SQL is only valid for MySQL, but similar constructs can be made for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. When you group by this expression the hours data will now look like this:
Here you see the same data, only summarized by the week of the year. You can contact Pacific Timesheet support or your application specialist for a more detailed solution document that describes how to do this.
Crew Timesheet Tips: Automating Cost Code and Craft Level Assignment
Many believe that the main benefit of automating field services and crew time tracking is reducing administrative costs and eliminating double data entry. While this benefit is significant, perhaps even more important is automating crew assignments.
With advanced assignment automation a system would allow supervisors to login and see a completely populated crew timesheet, including job, cost code and craft level assignments to workers. Another feature of automation would restrict the supervisor, when making or modifying assignments, to only see those cost codes or craft levels a worker is permitted to be assigned.
Distributing assignment-making ability into the field with the supervisor allows crew timesheets to be adjusted throughout the day as workers leave early or replacements show up. All of this means more accurate time tracking throughout the day and automated tabulation of hours and costs at the end of the day.
The majority of construction and field services operations use daily paper crew timesheets to track time by job, cost or craft codes. The paper timesheets need to be created, printed and distributed by administrative staff at the job site.
A difficulty of automating this process is that the crew timesheet needs to be setup with these assignments in advance, or supervisors need to easily be able to make these assignments or change them in the field.
With crew timesheet automation a field services operation has two new options:
1) have administrative staff setup crew timesheets at the beginning of the day, or even modify assignments throughout the day for supervisors tracking time. The supervisors would be go to fully populated crew timesheet screens and enter hours and details throughout or at the end of the day.
2) Where setup of a crew timesheet does not vary from day to day, a copy previous day feature can carry forward the previous day's assignments and thereby completely eliminate any administrative preparation of a new daily crew timesheet. A supervisor can make minor adjustments to the crew timesheet setup and enter hours throughout the day.
