Time Capture and Scheduling Module

Planned time meets actual time

Integrated with the Sigmia HR and payroll platform, the module captures hours through timesheets, physical or virtual time clocks, mobile devices and automated data flows.

Data is interpreted according to cycles, breaks, work spans, overtime and the organization’s business rules.

The Challenges

When time capture is scattered, variances become difficult to explain

Schedules vary across employee populations, cycles, locations and collective agreements.

When data comes from multiple tools, teams must manually reconcile hours, breaks and exceptions.

Without the module

  • Hours come from several tools

  • Rules are applied manually

  • Variances are identified too late

  • Corrections lack traceability

  • Data must be consolidated

With the module

  • Capture channels are brought together

  • Rules are configured

  • Planned and actual time are compared

  • Anomalies are controlled

  • Approved data feeds payroll

See a captured hour become controlled data

See how an hour is recorded through a time clock, timesheet or mobile device, then interpreted according to the applicable cycle.

Then see how managers identify variances, make the required corrections and submit the data for approval.
