We’ve got all types of businesses that use Time Clock MTS including lots and lots of lawyers. However, The Core Consulting Group are the first tax lawyers I can recall that use the software. They’ve been using our software since 2009 and just today sent through a great review and testimonial that I thought was worth publishing here. I work for an attorney. We are a pretty small office of 8 employees. When I first started working here we used to keep track of employees hours manually. It took 2 hours every week just to get everyone’s hours correct. Within a week of using TimeClock MTS that dwindled to 5 minutes. Corrections can be made immediately if someone makes a mistake. So, when it’s payroll day I just print out the report and I am done! Thank you for such a wonderful product! For larger businesses your software is a must. For us, it’s a blessing. We recommend it to all of the business we interact with. Charles AcquistoOffice ManagerThe Core Consulting GroupColorado USA Thanks Charles, your kind words are much appreciated. I particularly like his comment on how much time they are saving every week using the system. Nearly two hours per week, which if we conservatively cost your office manager’s time at $25/hour means they are saving $50 per week or $2600 per year. That’s nearly 33 times what they originally paid for Time Clock MTS in savings PER YEAR. Certainly an impressive return on a very small investment of less than $100. And the numbers agree fairly closely with an article we wrote last year looking... read more

We’ve had to leave the office for a few days which normally isn’t an issue because we can answer our emails while on the road. However, due to unknown technical issues we’re unable to connect to our office server and get access to our email. This means support emails will go unanswered until this Friday evening PST (18 July 2014). We can only give our strongest apologies for this and will address all emails as soon as we are back in... read more

I thought I’d continue with the Time Clock MTS Q&A format of the last few posts on our blog. Today we have a question from Martha Buhman who is a long time user of the software. hi, i have time clock installed on one of my computers and i want to use it on a new one – how can i do that? thanks! i have used this for a number of years and i LOVE it — it has saved me so much time keeping track of projects This is certainly the most common support question we get and because of that we’ve got an entire how-to article dedicated to answering it. Key points the article covers include downloading and installing Time Clock MTS on your new computer, moving your data file across to the new PC, and then registering the software with your registration keys. If your registration keys do not work on the newly installed computer then you’re going to want to read this blog article covering what to do when your keys don’t work in the latest version of the... read more

I’ve had a few good emails in the last week from new users of the software, and here’s another one that I thought was worth sharing. I have a customer that might be interested in your time-clock. This customer has 3 locations and I was curious if you offered a solution to connect the 3 stores together like a cloud based time clock or something. Not only would you be able to pull all punched time from any location but also the employee information would replicate to all 3 locations as well. Please let me know if you offer something like this. I suggest you take a look at our online time clock system. You can see that here: www.timeclockmts-online.com Online Time Clock MTS is a browser based time clock system that allow your employees to punch in and out from any web-enabled device with a browser, be it computer, cell phone, or tablet. It includes a large sub-set of the features that the installable version of Time Clock MTS offers and has the big advantage of being able to share your time clock data across the internet and in between your office locations. Is there anything that prevents someone from clocking in and out from their house instead of actually being at the workplace? Sure, there’s a system to restrict employees clocking in by IP address. See here for more information: www.timeclockmts-online.com/help/managing-logins/login-access-control.htm The IP address of a computer that is connected to the internet is unique and assigned to it (or the modem you use to connect to the internet) by your internet service provider. It may change... read more

If you’ve bought an upgrade to the latest version of Time Clock MTS then within a few hours you’ll receive a new set of registration keys via email. These registration keys need to be entered into Time Clock MTS to unlock the software and remove the 30 day trial period. It all sounds pretty simple but from time to time people do have trouble getting their new registration keys to work. This article takes those people through the possible reasons why they keys are not working and how to fix it. The solutions presented below are in decreasing order of likelihood, so the first solution (You Haven’t Upgraded the Software Yet) is the most LIKELY reason your registration keys don’t seem to be working. You Haven’t Upgraded the Software Yet The registration keys DO NOT UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE FOR YOU. You have to actually upgrade Time Clock MTS to the latest version BEFORE the registration keys will work. You can tell if you’re using the latest version of Time Clock MTS by looking at the Help->About screen (see the image below) in the software and comparing the version number with the current version number of the software that you can see on our support page. If the version numbers do not match then you need to upgrade your software BEFORE trying to use your new registration keys. If you’re not sure how to upgrade Time Clock MTS then you should watch this video. Remember that the latest version upgrade installers can always be downloaded from our website.

I got a good email from a new user of the software this morning and I thought it was worth posting up their question and my response here. I am interested in time clock MTS but I have a few questions. Is there any way to input what vacation has been accrued to date? Also, I would like vacation to be accrued per # of hrs worked. Is there any way to input this so that employees and admin are able to view what is avail at any time? Does the program need to be linked to a single server in order for employees/admin to be able to use different computers etc? Is $199 a ONE time purchase fee? Thank you. And here’s my reply. 1) Yes, each employee can have a starting balance. This is set on each employee’s payroll information screen. You can see the employee payroll information screen here: Employee Payroll Information Screen. 2) Employees can view their own time card (which includes vacation balance). To set that up see these instructions: Employees Viewing their time cards. 3) The time clock database needs to be stored on a server that can share the file for it to be used on multiple computers. It doesn’t need to be a server, it could be a NAS or even just a regular PC that has a mapped network drive.. Setup instructions are here: Setting up the Time Clock MTS Network Edition. 4) The $199 includes a lifetime license to use version 5 of Time Clock MTS and one year of email support and access to software updates.
