Managing your businesses human resource department is often a timely job. This is due to the extensive number of things HR have to complete on a day by day basis as well as also making sure they abide by certain processes. Implementing an easy to use time and attendance system into your business can help simplify the way in HR processes are completed.
Managing your human resource department can often be a time-hungry job for many organisations. Often because many HR departments have a high number of tasks to be completed at one time and each task has to follow processes – often with legal implications.
Introducing an easy to use time and attendance system (incorporating HR) can help simplify the way in which some of these tasks are undertaken and provides one centralised solution that can be accessible to all departments within your business.
Our time and attendance system acts as one central database, and contains all data and records information to effectively and efficiently manage your employee’s. As Ceequel® (Elf’s Time and Attendance/ HR Software Suite) co exists on one core database, managing the life of an employee whilst employed by your company, becomes a much simplified responsibility. Information is shared real-time to all modules and having one single database removes the need for double keying and thee possibility of your business having duplicate data within the system.
Employee clocking times are automatically stored within the database and absence codes can be configured to help the system recognise the reasoning behind any missed clocking’s. This information is visible to all departments including HR and payroll – ensuring that wage information is correct at the time of processing.
Your line managers have the ability to view all planned absences including training days – for all their direct reports – providing them the ability to manage staffing levels and ensure that productivity of their department remains within business parameters.
With the use of shift patterns, rosters and rotations – your system can be configured to recognise working days and rest days – whilst accurately calculating absences. The system can then report on these absences to support your policies – such as Bradford Factor.
Exceptions can also be customised to suit your business rules and can cope with even the most complex of shift patterns. Our time and attendance system even provides you with the ability to report nightshift hours on the same day and allows you to setup true flexitime.
The Mail merge facility within the Human Resource module of Elf’s Ceequel® Software Suite – allows you to filter your employees by any data you hold within the system – this may include; true age, cost centre, length of service, holiday entitlement, or any other field stored. Once employees have been identified by the system a letter or document can be automatically merged with each employee’s details and then printed and/or stored against an individual’s record.
Letter templates including, offer letters, contracts of employments, pension auto-enrolment etc can also be stored for future use.

We listen to your business needs and use our industry expertise to help you choose the correct terminal for your working environment. We offer a wide variety of terminals that interact seamlessly with our time and attendance suite.
Every working environment is different some more than others meaning the collection of your employees time and attendance data can be a difficult task to handle for many organisations.
Here at Elf Productivity we understand the needs of every business and provide our customers with a clocking terminal that suits their environment and requirements. Each terminal has the capability to communicate in real time meaning your employees clocked status (in or out) is updated within Ceequel time and attendance in only a few seconds. The way in which your employee’s clock in and out can be fulfilled by various methods and is often decided by the way in which your organisation works.
Terminals are capable of communicating with each other in many ways meaning all employee data is up-to-date and available to access from any location. The most common way in which terminals communicate is via TCP/IP it is possible however to set them up so that they can work via Wi-Fi , GPRS,VPN and also 3G n 4G networks.
Terminal types and industry
Elf productivity specialises in several different types of terminals. Each terminal can be customised to your working environment and set up with your chosen method of clocking. Making sure your organisation has the correct terminal for your industry is of the up most importance to us. This is why we listen to your company needs and use our past experiences to suggest not only the most suitable terminals but also the most cost effective for your organisation.
Low cost terminals
Low cost terminals are ideal for companies within the office, clerical or admin profession who have simple clocking requirements. Elf’s iclock can be configured to display messages upon clocking or even be configured to display time and attendance data upon selecting a function key such as, number of remaining holidays, hours worked, overtime or flexi balance.
Mid-range terminals
Typically deployed in warehousing and distribution, these units are can also be utilised with hand held barcode readers for a low cost shop floor data capture solution. These hand held readers will help simplify the scanning of job sheets saving your shop floor managers time and money.
Touch screen industrial terminals
Touch screen data terminals utilise both Windows or Linux technology and are available with either a barcode, proximity or finger print reader. These terminals will allow your employees to access their personal records such as a graphical holiday screen, clock card times and also allows them to see who the first aider is within their department.
The main benefit of having a touch screen terminal is that it integrates well with shop floor data capture. Ceequel can be integrated with the vast majority of ERP systems allowing for live jobs and activities to be automatically uploaded in real-time, as well as select relevant operations and include information on quantity produced, scrapped and any downtime reasons. These terminals can also be used to view safety protocols ensuring all employees are up to date with current procedures and have accepted all changes to critical documents.
The front end screens on a touch screen terminal can be designed around your company’s individual requirements. This ensures that all data collected within your organisation can be streamlined in the relevant way.
Touch screen tablets
Elf’s software suite can be accessed of any device meaning it is possible for companies to set up industry standard tablets. This makes it possible for line managers to allocate jobs/activates and locations to their employees from out of the office and provides a way for employees to view their daily tasks without having to make numerous trips to the clock.
Biometric Terminals
The day and age of card based time and attendance is officially over and many companies have now chosen to implement biometric terminals in order to keep up with technology. At ELF we provide a choice of Biometric options including fingerprint, vein, face or hand recognition.
Access control hardware

Keeping track of your employees productive and unproductive hours is a crucial task for any business who wishes to be successful. Having access to this type of information provides your business with the ability to view all unproductive hours and implement processes which will help improve individual employee productivity levels.
Organisations are always looking for ways to measure and develop the productivity of their employees. It is vitally important if they want to ensure their continued growth and success. To make sure of this, organisations need to have full control over their employees’ working hours – both productive and unproductive. The best way to do this is through the use of time attendance systems.
The use of these systems allows companies to record when their workers start their work and when they stop. They are also able to identify the kind of work as well as the level of productivity. Elf Productivity Limited is a provider of high quality time management and attendance systems that are both reliable and cost effective. We deliver top quality support with our time management software and valuable industry experience.

It leads to a reconciliation of productive and non-productive time. Companies using shop floor data capture are expected to receive the following results.
Combining the systems that we offer – with our unparalleled industry knowledge and expertise – allows us to provide organisations with a bridge between productive and non-productive time.

Keeping track of your employees time and attendance is an important part of any organisation. Recording this data helps to streamline your business processes and relieves the unneeded stress on both your payroll and HR department. With the use of a time and attendance system both of the above processes can be achieved in a simplistic way.
Time management is a crucial process in all organisations. Without it there’s a very good chance your business wouldn’t be where it is today. Time management systems monitor your employee’s time & attendance on a day-to-day basis. This data often includes calculated hours worked and should even provide breakdown information of jobs, operations or activities – productive and non-productive. The data reordered is accurate streamlining your payroll department’s processes by removing the manual calculations surrounding hours worked (incl. overtime), absences paid or even bonuses.
With the assistance of Elf Productivity’s – absence management module, Ceequel Time and Attendance can now do a lot more than just track the hour’s an employee works. Ceequel now monitors minutes, hours, half or full day absences by individual employees and picks up on whether the absence was authorised or unauthorised. Absences are also available to be viewed by department, cost centre and location. This makes it easier than ever to stay on top of what’s happening within your organisation at any-one-time.
Ceequel Time and Attendance also delivers advanced calculations; such as the ability to identify employees who have a long period of absence – as opposed to those who have sporadic periods of absence often over a long period of time. Elf Productivity’s Ceequel system provides this level of in-depth analysis through the use of configurable absence codes and will even cater for shift-rest-days.
Data such as hours or gross wages can easily be passed from Ceequel time & attendance through to your payroll department.
All data within Elf Productivity’s Ceequel Software Suite shares a single database, eradicating double keying of data. Data is real-time and all modules have access to the same data instantly.
Businesses truly looking for process improvements, transparency of information and enhanced people management should only look at a single solution that integrates Time & Attendance system with Human Resources.
A single combined system contains accurate information on each employee’s life with the business. This will include start dates, finish dates, duration of working day, hours worked. This means that if an employee doesn’t clock in to the system on a day they are due to work the correct absence code will be generated for all departments to see. In addition to this your human resource department has the ability to input more information such as reason for absence, attach a sick note or a return to work form.
Even-more-so a visionary company looking to drive their organisation and maximise efficiencies will further enhance their single (Time & Attendance and HR) system by introducing Employee Self Service.
Elf productivity’s hardware is industry standard and is also designed with the future in mind. Data capture communications are generally TCP/IP and are in true real-time. For remote clocking terminals communications can be established via mobile phone data sim cards or alternatively why not implement both Android and iPhone iClock applications. Not only can you clock using the apps but at the same time as capturing your clocking time – the system also captures the longitude and latitude of the device.
There are various technology types available to collect the data including, barcode, proximity fob, proximity card, fingerprint, hand or face biometric.

Keeping track of your workforce’s time and attendance data no longer needs to be a daunting task for your organisation. Elf Productivity’s Ceequel software suite allows your business to record and manage all of your individual employee data in one place on an easy to use platform. Our time and attendance system is entirely browser based saving your business time and money.
Keeping track of individual employee working times, holiday allowances and rate of pay can be a daunting task for human resource and payroll departments. Elf’s time and attendance software relieves this stress by devolving the management of employee groups – to the relevant line manager. Line managers have access to a browser based system, allowing them to maintain and amend their employees holiday time and sick leave together with their teams, individual clocking’s. Having this information at your Managers’ fingertips creates a multitude of benefits – including (but not limited to) the following:-
1. Improve visibility:
As a business, should you require you’re employees to clock in and out of attendance and identify those who are working too many or too few hours. Elf’s Ceequel® Time & Attendance Software Suite provides your managers the ability to do just this in real-time, even breaking down this absence by employee’s who are late, manipulating your working guidelines or constantly breaching the EU Working week regulations. Thus ensuring that employees pay data is correct and that the company can correctly report and identify any breaches in policy.
Through Ceequel’s Employee Self Service – Employees can view the same data (lateness, clocking’s & premiums) via any device with internet connectivity and a browser* – removing unnecessary communications with Human Resources.
2. Eliminates the ability to fraud time:
Companies once measured their employee’s time and attendance using paper based capture mechanisms, (requiring the employee to write down their individual working time and attendance). This was often abused as it allowed people who were perhaps late, or who finished early, to submit incorrect information on their time-sheet. Elf’s Ceequel® T&A system records in real time, eliminating the opportunity for employees to amend this information.
3. Payroll simplified:
Payroll is now even easier than ever with Elf’s Ceequel® T&A solution. With all of your employee’s time and attendance data stored in one place, premiums calculated effortlessly and efficiently (with no manual intervention) – your payroll department can, process pay runs in a fraction of the time.
4. Reduces the number of disputes:
When it comes to enforcing your business policies, such as lateness, holiday entitlement and absences through sick – companies who do not have a fully integrated Time & Attendance and Human Resource Management Software – often have difficulties providing the supporting evidence to correctly manage their employees.
With the use of Elf Productivity’s Time & Attendance and Human Resource Management Software companies can have clearer visibility when employees need to be closely managed. Capturing this data at an early stage – saves UK businesses a substantial amount of money – invested in employee retention/replacement.
