Add-on Modules
for Jupiter Software

Accrual Module

Automatically calculates benefit hours such as sick and vacation time based on your company’s policies and restrictions. The system performs availability checks when entering these hours at the time card edit screen, preventing the use and payment of hours not yet earned. Accrual reports display the number of hours accrued, earned, used and available for review by supervisors and management.

Employee Web Time Entry

With the Employee Time Entry program, employees can

  • Enter their own start and end work times,
  • View their hours for the current and previous pay periods,
  • Check the amount of benefit hours available (requires the optional accrual module).
  • View their work schedule for the current and previous pay periods.

This is an essential tool for those employees working from home, or from a remote job site, when they do not have access to a time clock to punch In or Out.

Employee Self Service Module

The employee (& supervisor) can view the employee’s worked hours, personal hours, earnings, and shift/schedule for the current and previous pay periods. 

The employee’s available accrued hours (Sick, Vacation, etc.) can also be viewed if your Jantek software has the accrual module.

The Employee Self Service software allows employees to request Paid Time Off through an easy-to-use interface. An employee can also see whether a request has been approved or denied.

Supervisors use a separate interface for viewing employee requests and can approve or reject these requests as necessary. Once a request has been approved, it is automatically posted into the employee’s time card.

Vacation Request/Approval

The Vacation Request/Approval module allows for employees to directly request vacation or PTO through a simple interface. Employees can login and request time under any Jantek pay code. 

Supervisors use a separate interface for viewing employee requests and can approve or reject these requests as necessary. Once a request has been approved, it can then be posted into the employee’s time card through the same interface.

Lock-Out Module

Lock-out Module will prevent employees from clock in early and/or clock out late. It can prevent employees from punch IN/OUT outside their assigned shift.

Door Access Control

Use the same time card for door access control. Electric locks can be connected to our card reader to trigger a door to open with a valid time card. Program who can access which door at what time & what day. View or print door access history report from Jantek software. 

Payroll Interface

Over 190 payroll interfaces are available, allowing connectivity to your company’s payroll service provider or in-house payroll system. Available interfaces include ADP, Paychex, Evolution, Millennium and QuickBooks. Payroll interfaces ensure data transfers are 100% accurate, save valuable employee time and eliminate human error.

Bell Scheduling

Connect your Jantek time clock to an electric bell for automatic ringing. Different ring times can be programmed for each day of the week.

Lunch Lock-out

This option will prevent employees from clocking back IN early from Lunch. Employees must take minimum 30 minutes lunch. Lunch Lock-out does not work across multiple time clocks. Employees must use the same time clock for both lunch punches. E-mail your time clock reader status report to support@jantek.com to see if your existing Jantek time clock supports Lunch Lock-out or not.

PBJ Report Export

Payroll Based Journal report exporting software for Nursing Home to meet ACA Requirement.

Import Schedule Utility

Work schedule can be import to Jantek Jupiter software in Excel file format. Supervisors and employees do not need to have access to Jantek Jupiter software to create work schedule.

In addition, powerful messaging features alert users when there are unviewed public and/or private messages. Employees can also review total hours worked in the pay period and previous punches.

Web Punch is also available in a SQL version, compatible with the Jupiter 9.0 CS software.

Managers or supervisors don’t need to be at the company’s location to edit employees’ timecards.

From any location in the world using a standard Web browser, additions, corrections, and deletions can be made and the information is instantaneously updated in Jupiter 9.0’s database. In addition to hours worked, Web Timecards allow users to add earnings and deductions.

Web Pay Data

The data is instantly updated in the main database, ready for payroll processing.

Web Reports

The Web Reports module makes it easy for managers to run reports on employee time and attendance information through the convenience of an intranet or Internet Web page.

Management staff can view time card details, total hours worked and exceptions such as tardy arrivals and missing punches. Web Reports allows most up-to-date reports as data is drawn directly from the Jupiter 9.0 database.

Data Merge

Merge Module

The Merge Module allows companies with multiple locations to manage employees time and attendance data from each location, and send a file to the headquarters to be merged for payroll processing. 

Once the merge files are created, the data can be transported in a variety of methods including floppy disk, email, FTP, and pcAnywhere.*

Web Merge

Utilizing the latest Internet technologies, Web Merge is an excellent solution for companies with multiple locations that edit their timecard data in each branch, then send the data to the corporate headquarters for payroll processing. 

Using any standard Web browser, branches can upload their time and attendance data directly to the Jupiter Time & Attendance database.

FTP Merge

Similar to other merge options, branches can upload their employees’ data to be merged in headquarters’ database. FTP Merge utilizes an FTP server which stores all the branches’ data until headquarters retrieves and merges it into their Jupiter Time & Attendance database. 

Eliminating the need for a wide-area network which can be costly, FTP Merge is an excellent solution to many companies’ time management needs.
