Time and attendance

Dynaway BLUE is the perfect solution for time and attendance in the office as well as on the shop floor. Dynaway BLUE gives workers instant access to flexible hours and overtime balances, and ensures complete and accurate registrations to be used in a payroll system. This functionality greatly reduces the workload on the payroll department. Basically, this functionality comprises time and attendance registrations, which include the following registration types:
  • Clock-in / clock-out
  • Absence
  • Breaks
  • Flextime
  • Overtime
  • Indirect activities (tasks not directly connected to a specific production job or project, for example, staff meetings, courses, and repair jobs)

BLUE integrates seamlessly with the Shop Floor Control module in Microsoft® Dynamics AX®, which handles those registration types.

The options in this module can be extended with the possibility of time registration relating to a worker's work time profile, which is set up in Shop Floor Control. A work time profile divides a work day into various parts, for example, standard time, overtime, and breaks. If the worker arrives later or leaves earlier than defined in his or her work time profile, the system requires an absence code explaining the absence reason. When logging on to a BLUE terminal, the worker is presented with a job queue containing the jobs and tasks that are planned for the work day.

The worker makes registrations on the production jobs or other tasks in the job queue during the day. The registrations are transferred to Microsoft Dynamics AX, always ensuring an updated production status. When a worker's registrations have been approved in Shop Floor Control, they can be used to calculate the worker's pay. Generating a payroll basis is a part of the functionality in Shop Floor Control.
