Time Guardian v4.0 User’s Guide 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to Time Guardian,
Should you have any comments on
the all in one, easy to use Time and Attendance system. Time
Guardian allows you to track and manage your employees’ time and attendance directly from
your PC and makes the collecting, reporting and the transferring of employees’ hours to payroll
companies easier and quicker than ever before.
If this is your first time working with a time and attendance package, there may be terms that
are new to you such as Salary, Hourly, Pay Policy, Pay Code, Wages, Unit and Point. A
detailed Glossary, located in the back of this User Guide, has been provided to assist you as
you navigate through Time Guardian.
