Author Topic: Payroll System Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 07-08-2005 08:24 PM                     I never had an issue with the scheduler portion when I was with Dickinson - but I did the schedule myself, I didn't let the system do it. The big issue I saw with it was that employees could clock in and out from home.  |  IP: Logged Robert Burtcher Expert Film Handler Posts: 194 From: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-09-2005 02:06 AM                     ScheduleSource now records IP addresses, and can lock the clock in/out page to only certain IPs to help prevent employees from clocking in at home. Pretty nifty system.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-09-2005 11:47 PM                    Workbrain blows. By that I mean that the web site blows and the company itself blows. I've identified two bugs in their web code that makes the site not work on anything except Microsoft's stupid web browser. (what's it called again?) I tried contacting them to let them know about their buggy code... I even set up a "demo" web page on my own server to demonstrate the right way to code something versus the way they have it coded. But they bounced me around and acted like they didn't care about the bugs. They then told me to call AMC's helpdesk and tell them about it so they could take care of it... which makes absolutely zero sense, but I did it anyway. They didn't seem to care either. It's still broken. If I wrote a program and someone called me and said "I found a bug in your software" I think I'd be pretty damn interested in hearing what the guy had to say. Not Workbain. Hence... the whole company blows.  |  IP: Logged Chase Hanson Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 07-10-2005 04:00 AM                     Preach on Brother Marshall.  |  IP: Logged Tim Lockridge Film Handler Posts: 20 From: Indiana, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 07-14-2005 08:14 PM                     I use www.whentowork.com for employee scheduling, and am quite happy with it.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-14-2005 08:28 PM                        Wow. You people actually pay your employees? What a swell idea. At least one college around here where I have worked in the past (and don't intend to work in the future unless some things change) doesn't seem to believe in the concept.  |  IP: Logged Ramin Hashemi Expert Film Handler Posts: 129 From: Houston TX Registered: Sep 2004 posted 07-17-2005 09:17 PM                     we used to use Lathem, but did not have the flexibility. We now use RTS's system, and ADP for processing. Alot easier.  |  IP: Logged Blake Zaugg Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Lafayette, LA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 09-04-2005 02:13 PM                     At my last theatre we used whentowork.com as well for the scheduling for a while - I loved it. We used ADP then swithched to powerpay.ca from ceridian. It was great everything was online and the cheques/pay stubbs were delivered right to the theatre. They also have a US service.  |  IP: Logged
