Ceridian Time Solutions: The new standard for
time and attendance
There's a new "time" in town. Ceridian's leading time and attendance solution just got better. Following an evaluation of market trends and input from customers about requirements, Ceridian developed and launched a new, fully automated time and attendance and scheduling solution.
With labor costs being a major expense for businesses, automated time and attendance systems present an opportunity for employers to gain efficiencies to control and save on costs. Annual cost savings estimates through automation range from thousands of dollars to millions, depending on the company size and its workforce complexity. The estimate is not surprising, given the length of time that workers spend reviewing manual timecards, calculating hours, correcting errors and auditing information. For one Ceridian customer, this time savings through automation decreased from six weeks per pay period to only three days.MyCeridian: What you click is what you get

Workforce management
Ceridian Time Solutions represent the next generation of automation that goes beyond input into the payroll process by incorporating the functionality of the future. It allows employers faced with increased challenges regarding employee productivity and absenteeism to seek additional, improved ways to analyze and manage workforce schedules.
Ceridian offers three new options for world-class time solutions. And, we scale to your needs -- whether you are looking for a vendor-hosted or customer-hosted solution. Time Essentials
This vendor-hosted solution addresses the typical needs of companies with 100-500 employees and/or any size company with basic needs. Time Essentials offers multiple options for features such as pay policies, labor distribution and pay codes. Time Business
This vendor-hosted solution typically is designed for companies with 500-5000 employees and/or companies of any size with moderate needs. Time Business is configured based on the organization's specific hosted environment with user-defined requirements such as job rates, workflow and accrual balance. Time Premium
This solution is the most robust of the three options and typically is suited for companies with more than 5,000 employees or any size organization with unique requirements such as custom pay calculations, screen adaptation and exports to enhanced scheduling. This complete system can either be hosted or non-hosted, depending on customer requirements. Leading functionality
Each of these solutions offers leading functionality, including:
- Labor and cost management tools to help achieve revenue objectives through optimal staffing that consider performance initiatives such as customer service.
- Employee scheduling tool enabling management to easily maintain schedules as well as improve labor, performance and productivity.
- Employee and manager self-service functions to support productivity gains through direct, real-time information updates.
- Workflow, from employee to management and back, to request vacation time and schedule change approval by improving information flow without the burden of additional handling by other departments, such as human resources or payroll.
- Leave policy administration with real-time access to accrual and absent data.
- Reporting and analytical tools to help achieve compliance for Statement on Auditing (SAS) 70, Sarbanes-Oxley, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), VAT and other tax systems.
HR/payroll integration options
The functional integration offered by Ceridian enables companies to completely automate the 60 percent of costs incurred through payroll processing with the 40 percent attributed to time collection. With 100 percent automation, companies can realize considerable benefits, including:
- Full integration with Ceridian HR/Payroll products to provide single point of entry to streamline the data entry process and reduce the potential for errors.
- Information shared between payroll and time solutions consolidates employee information for access by other departments, i.e., human resources and compensation, as well as improves the accuracy of reporting and analysis.
- Interfaces with existing ERP vendor or in-house HR/payroll solutions.
- Performs complex pay calculations, including unique pay rules for multiple job families.
- Decreased waste due to calculation errors and abuse which reduces the need for special processing and time card preparation.
- Consistent application of policies and procedures, i.e., overtime opportunities, etc.
As organizations consider what their workforce might look like in the future, imagine the possibilities to be gained through automation. Change is a constant. It is likely that more and more reporting and compliance requirements will be added in the future, as well as a need for efficient workforce management. The time is right to look at the options and consider the possibilities.
