SwipeClock LLC acquired TimeSimplicity to enhance its cloud-based workforce management platform by integrating advanced employee scheduling with its existing time and attendance solutions, enabling partners to offer a comprehensive, affordable system that reduces administrative overhead, lowers compliance risks, and improves job costing accuracy through features like drag-and-drop scheduling, real-time notifications, and self-service portals.

March 4, 2015—IPPA, Las Vegas—SwipeClock announced the acquisition of TimeSimplicity to enhance its suite of cloud-based workforce management solutions. This move creates new opportunities for partners to expand payroll services and deepen client relationships by offering a more comprehensive suite of products for automating time and attendance, scheduling, and leave management. The acquisition aims to help employers manage employees more efficiently by reducing overtime costs, lowering compliance risk, reducing administrative overhead, and improving job costing accuracy.

Coleman Barney, CEO of SwipeClock, stated that the acquisition allows the company to build a more comprehensive and affordable workforce management platform, helping partners and their clients control business costs and overhead. Andrew Siegel, CEO of Payday HCM, noted that the addition of TimeSimplicity enables offering clients a fuller set of workforce management options.

Simple, Affordable Workforce Management

SwipeClock will offer both the TimeSimplicity scheduling product and TimeWorksPlus for time and attendance as standalone products. The products will also be fully integrated to reduce administrative complexity.

  • TimeSimplicity is a cloud-based solution that allows employers to create schedules with drag-and-drop simplicity, view schedules by group or week, color code for easy identification, and fill last-minute shift vacancies quickly. As a cloud service, it requires no software installation or server maintenance, and is accessible anytime.

  • TimeWorksPlus offers a robust feature set, plug-and-play time clocks, and ease of use to automate the collection, management, and reporting of employee time and attendance.

Together, these solutions leverage automated time and attendance and scheduling data to help businesses manage their workforces more effectively. The platform provides:

  • Self-service portal for employees, including mobile workers
  • Real-time notifications for absences and other events
  • Robust attendance and labor management reporting
  • Compliance with state and federal mandates, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Department of Labor (DOL), and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Availability and Integration Plans

Currently, TimeSimplicity remains available as a separate application for businesses needing robust scheduling features. An integrated version of TimeWorksPlus and TimeSimplicity is planned for release in the second quarter of 2015. The first phase of integration will include single sign-on, employee data sharing, schedule viewing in TimeWorksPlus, approved time-off request viewing in TimeSimplicity, and the ability to run basic attendance reports.
