a) Set up company department numbers with a description.
b) Assign a department number to each employee. (The Departments can be accessed from the main menu, through “SETUP” and then “Departments”)

Job Cost Report Needed
If you check this box you will need to assign Job numbers to each payroll entry, enabling the system to generate Job Cost reports.

Employee Direct Deposits
Check this option if the Employees will use Direct Deposits

Calculate WC Insurance
Check this option if the reports will calculate WC Insurance

Default VACATION/SICK Hours accrued (Yearly)
Enter the default vacation and sick accrued hours per year. These values will appear as default values for new employees.

No. of days to start accrual of Vac/Sick from Hiring
Example: If the employer has a policy where employees start earning vacation or sick pay 90 days from the hire of date, enter 90 here.

Default Pay Period
Select one of the periods (Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Semi-Weekly, Monthly)

Default Pay Policy
Default Rounding Policy
Default Holiday Package
Before selecting any of the Policies or Holiday Packages, they must be defined.

Email Billing Statement
When the system bills Client for punching hours, if this option is checked, the system will send an email to this client with the billing statement.

Billing Email
If the checkbox above is checked the email address has to be entered. If not, the system will not send any emails to this client

Time Zone
It is important the Manager input the correct Company Time Zone.
This way the program can prevent wrong time to be recorded in the punch database.
For example if the ProClock server is in Los Angeles and the client Company is operating in New York, when the Employee punches in New York at 8:00 am, the time in Los Angeles is 5:00 am. Program uses Time Zone to calculate the proper punch time and write it in the database on server.

This technique will also prevent Employee to try to manipulate time on their devices before punching.
