WORKBRAIN – Enterprise Time & Attendance System Implementation

The current time capture methods in the city are mostly manual, antiquated and involve redundant data entry into different systems to capture time & attendance related information for payroll processing. There is a pressing need for the city to study these processes in detail and carry out constructive Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) to reduce manual processes thereby resulting in streamlined processes, reduced costs and reduced scope for errors. Computech, in partnership with Workbrain, is currently implementing a Workforce Management solution using Workbrain’s Enterprise Time & Attendance, develop interfaces to the city’s Oracle Human Resource Management System(HRMS) Suite and Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Transit Operating System(TOS) and impart training to all city users.

  • To Implement Workbrain’s new Enterprise Time & Attendance Premium Edition version 4.1.x using S2V methodology and create interfaces to the new Oracle HRMS Suite version 11.5.10 and DOT’s TOS
  • Re-engineer processes to conform to software functionality as much as possible
  • Set up Time & Attendance business rules in the Workbrain software based on city requirements
