Aaron,
Your office mgr. is right the shop employees need to be terminated then
added back with the modified ID's. We figured out this solution on our
pilot run of vantage so we started with a clean database when we went live.
This change would effect your payroll system also. What was it the Vantage
reps told us in the very beginning - God forgives but Vantage does not!!!
Unless you do a lot of historic cost reports by employee ID, I think the
effects of the change would not be long term. Reports by employee name
would capture both the old and new ID's. We feed our ADP payroll via
Seagate Crystal Reports so we only had to modify the report by removing the
special character.
We do not make our workers punch out at lunch and we use the auto half hour
feature in data collection. The supervisors hustle everyone back to work
when its time. If you do make them punch out then maybe you should turn off
the auto half hour feature. This way you can track their actual times and
your more inventive workers would show up with only a 1 minute lunch break
(at least once).
Hope this helps,

Jerry,
Vantage touch
screen keyboard.
This concept is causing some excitement around here. I am running
into one
important question though. Is there a way to add the character to
the ID
without recreating all the employees over. The cards are no
problem, but
the employee info... When initially discussed excitement level
started to
climb until the office manager pointed out that she can not easily
modify
that field. Any comments would be helpful.
Also on a related note, is there a simple (or not so simple) way of
forcing
employees who punch out at lunch to stay out for a time. We are
finding a
problem with employees punching out and then right back in, knowing
that it
will deduct 1/2 hour and not a second more (even if they are a
couple of
minutes or more late in returning). Thanks for any info.
