"Benton Murray came to the rescue and did even more! Our business needed a time clock that covered the needs of our employees. A search revealed that even the top rated time clock apps couldn’t bend or handle the specific working hours of our staff. We needed a time clock app that could recognize a 16, 24, 32, and 40 hour work week with associated overtime in each scenario. It also had to recognize “on call” and “post call” days and adjust time paid accordingly and maintain a historical data base of all hours worked. TimeSplash solved it all. Through the development phase Benton was very patient in coming to understand our situation and needs, speaking with us on a level we understood and not over our heads. Whenever there was a question, a simple text or phone call quickly resolved the issue as Benton responded in a timely manner. Seriously, no pun intended. I highly, 100% recommend TimeSplash to anyone needing to keep track of hours worked in any situation."

East Idaho Anesthesia Associates asked me to help them with a unique time clock project. The first thing I did after discussing the details with them was to start building the brains of the web app. I used Java Script and HTML to accomplish this so the app could be web based. The HTML and CSS code took care of the user input form while the Java Script handled all the calculations and math that would be needed to process that input.
I wanted it to be an air tight system. One where the user wouldn't be able to cause errors in the time card logs. With this requirement in mind I set out to design an app that would be 100% automated. Once the time card data is submitted through the app, the background code handles everything else. This includes placing the data into the correct time slot in the database, generating a history overview for the current pay period, starting a new pay period at the correct date and time, moving previous pay period data into a data vault, calculating overtime, time off, and special working circumstances. The result is the business owners only have to look at the report at the end of the pay period and pay their employees accordingly.
In order to make monitoring the time card information for all employees easy for the business owners I designed a second web application which pulled all the data from the employees time cards into one concise and accessible location. This web app acts in real time and can be referenced on the go to see an overview of employees work time. At the end of the pay cycle the business owners can also see all the necessary numbers they need to report to their payroll offices. This was the final step to making the time card system completely mobile for the users.
