TimeOut overview

What is TimeOut?

CWS Software offers TimeOut, a web based absence management solution that can also be installed on in-house servers. The solution is available either as a part of The Unity Suite Core HRIS or it can be purchased independently. TimeOut is primarily designed for SMBs and some of its key clients include Omron, Fuse, benefit Concepts, Texas AFT, TriNet Ambrose and so on.

TimeOut allows employees to request and view their time off through a color-coded matrix that is different for each individual. This matrix displays the vacation, holidays or personal days off that have been requested by the employee. A summary screen provides a configurable snapshot of the current leave balance and allows users to send leave requests for manager approval. Alerts are sent to managers if the requested leave is more than what the employee has earned.

TimeOut is available in multiple languages for global users and can integrate with Apple iCal, Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. The solution offers a TimeTracker module that allows an organization to plan their staffing and track the total hours spent on a particular project which might impact the overall billing.

TimeOut integrates with the existing HRIS or payroll solution of the organization which smoothens the transition and implementation process. The solution offers a mobile interface that can be opened on various browsers and device types. For hosted solutions, CWS offers a full backup performed periodically in order to secure the data at a separate geographic location.

Key benefits of using TimeOut

? TimeOut minimizes errors while tracking paid time off by automating the process of leave request, approval, out of office timings and updating the accruals automatically.

? With TimeOut, organizations can set up multiple vacations or holiday policies for different departments or employees and grant access only to authorized users.

? The solution offers a self-service portal that assists employees in checking their current or future leave balance, review leave plans and submit requests for time out.

? TimeOut has the capability to maintain an organizational chart where the supervisor can view and modify the vacation details of all its team members.

? Delegation of vacation or other leave approvals by the supervisor to another manager on a permanent or temporary basis is supported by the TimeOut solution.

Cons
“Only way to find out there is a problem is by encountering a Lock Out at login. Warning would allow a fix before the employee tries multiple times unsuccessfully to log on.”

Director of Finance and Administration

“Also, when setting up the same person twice by accident. Seems like the system could tell this right away to avoid conflict and frustration for the user.”

“Updates, Lately the app seems to be out of date a not working on newer phones, if it can't be resolved we will have no choice but to move off the platform.”
