NEW TIME & ATTENDANCE SYSTEM TO BE INTRODUCED On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the project to replace our current timekeeping system, better known as VTI. The Auditor-Controller’s central Payroll and Information Technology teams have been working with the vendor, WorkForce, providing the business requirements and configuring the new Time & Attendance System in order to provide each department with modern, robust software. Currently, the Auditor-Controller’s Office and WorkForce are working towards an enhanced electronic timekeeping system which will allow the County of Orange to streamline operations and enhance internal controls across departments while providing a comprehensive improved timekeeping experience. The new Time & Attendance System will provide all employees, including supervisors, a user-friendly system that will have the ability to monitor work schedules, process time off requests against current leave balances, see leave usage and connect these areas into one network. The system will improve payroll processing efficiency and offers several enhanced features, such as the automation of overtime, night shift, holiday coding, call back premium and case call premium. It also provides exception messages to assist employees in completing timecards accurately, allows the ability of amending prior pay period timesheets and offers easy access from mobile devices allowing employees and supervisors access to timecards and time off requests while out of the office. Stay tuned for details on training opportunities later this summer and go live dates anticipated in Fall 2021.
