Time and Attendance Software

Time and Attendance Software Module

Click Time & Attendance ›› Time And Attendance to open the software module in its own window.

You can also access the Time and Attendance (TAA) login screen by browsing to http://taa.silverlining.synovia.com. Enter your username, password, and five-digit account number and then click Login.

Note: If you use the Silverlining menu method of accessing the TAA module, you don't have to log in again (as long as your Silverlining credentials include TAA privileges).

When the Time and Attendance module opens, the following menus will be available on the left, depending on your user privileges:

Home: To return to the home view, which is shown in the preceding figure.
Employees: To see your employee records, individually selected from a drop-down list.
Time Cards: To view each of your employee's time cards, add shifts for a group of employees, and handle shift exceptions.
Punch IDs: To view, look up, and assign punch IDs.
Absences: To check and enter absences.
Attendance Events: To see and enter attendance events, which you can use to measure employee performance (based on attendance and policy compliance) in a points-based system.
Schedules: To create, view, and assign TAA schedules.
Reports: To generate various TAA reports, including Absence, Hours Summary, Mileage, Planned Vs. Actual Work, Time Sheet, and Who's Logged In.
Import/Export: To configure and perform imports and exports of employee data. This includes the option to export employee time to your payroll company, if you integrate your TAA information with your payroll service.
Portal/MDT: To customize your TAA Portal and MDT settings, including which employee types have access to the portal and appear on the MDTs.
Admin: For your TAA system administrator. To manage users, departments, other employee data, job types, and general TAA system configuration.
Work Monitor: To check the current work status of employees in one or more departments, in a separate window on a timeline.

If a menu option has a submenu, it will have a drop-down arrow to the right of the menu name. The submenu appears when you click the menu name. (The down arrow will become an up arrow.) To collapse the submenu, you can click the menu name again.
