Version 2.1.3 of Time Clock MTS was released today containing fixes to several reports and some other minor fixes to rarely occurring bugs. Today’s release includes the following changes: Fixed up the simple wages report, some content was not being displayed correctly on the report. Fix to the punchcard and detailed punchcard reports. Both of these reports were not displaying any data from the last day of the selected date range. The hourly totals and pay calculations were correct though.

One of the more common questions I get asked is where the free version of our time attendance software can be downloaded, and what needs to be done to use it. Well it can be downloaded over on our free time attendance software page. All you need to do is download and install it. For the first 30 days of use you’ll be in the normal trial period. However, once that is up the software will automagically convert to free mode without you needing to do a thing. That’s right, no need to contact us and get a registration key, it’ll just start working in free mode by itself. But, of course, there’s a few restrictions to the free version that you should note. Firstly, you can install it and use it on one computer. Basically that means that your employees will be punching in and out from the same computer that you’ll be running your time clock reports from, and the same computer where you’ll have to manage your software. If you wanted to use the software on more than one computer then you’re going to need to purchase the Time Clock MTS Network Edition. The second restriction is that you can only track three employees while using the software in free mode. If you need to record time attendance for more than three employees but you’re happy to have a single time clock computer then you’ll have to purchase the Time Clock MTS Stand Alone Edition So, if you’re a small business, perhaps just starting up and want some time attendance software to track yours and your... read more

A minor release today fixing up some problems that were introduced recently by the new setting that allows you set the time of day that your work week starts. Changes made include: Fix to the last 7 days selection and the month to date selection on the Edit Times screen. This was broken by the new setting described above. Fix to the last month selection on the Edit Times screen. I am not sure this ever worked *oops*. Fixed up an issue with the last action text alignment when using the keypad interface. Change the way the display last action works when clocking in or out. There were some cases where the incorrect action could be displayed, the new method has eliminated this problem and will result in faster operation and less database... read more

A new release of Time Clock MTS today including some new features requested by one of our users. Features added to this new version include: The employee list interface can now be completely customized to your local requirements via the Tools->Options->Interface Settings page. The customization will allow you to use non Latin character sets (such as Cyrillic, Korean, Japanese etc). The last employee note is now displayed along with the last action action details for the selected employee. If you happen to run the Time Clock MTS Client and Administrator program on the same computer you’ll find that the saved window positions are now separate for each program. The main Time Clock MTS Window can now be re-sized when you’re using the employee list interface. This will allow you to fill your entire monitor with the Time Clock MTS application. I’ll cover the customization of the employee list interface in more detail in a subsequent... read more

You can now easily change the main clock in and clock out screen of Time Clock MTS to any language that you like. This is especially useful if your work force does not understand English and you want the software to be as easy as possible for them. You can now configure all of the text on the Time Clock MTS employee list interface to any text or language that you like (including non Latin characters like Japanese, Cyrillic, or Chinese). To setup Time Clock MTS to use a different language on the employee list interface log in as the administrator and go to the Tools->Options->Display Settings screen. Select the Main Screen Label you want to edit from the drop down box and then enter the text you want to set to be displayed for that item on the Employee List Interface.
