This section reviews the optional modules that are available with Genesis Pro. These modules are purchased in addition to Genesis Pro and may require separate installations. These modules are as follows:
• Job Costing • Profile Lockouts • Bell Schedules • Benefits Accruals • Occurrence Ratings • PC Clock • WebClock • Videx DuraTrax • Employee Reviewer • Third Party Terminals
Job Costing
NOTE: The optional Job Costing Module includes Step, Operation and Task.
The Job Costing module is used to further track employee time and labor costs by job or project, both in terms of hours and money. Five levels of job costing are available: by default these are called Department, Job, Step, Operation, and Task. Departments are divided into Jobs, Jobs are divided into Steps, Steps are divided into Operations, and Operations are further divided into Tasks. You may use one or all of these levels, depending upon your needs. Each item can be assigned an hourly wage and/or a piece rate. For more information, see Job Costing, page 91. NOTE: You will not be able to use Job without Department, Step without Job, Operation without Step, Task without Operation.
Bell Schedules
The Bell Schedules module allows your time clock to activate a bell at specified times of day. For example, you might have a bell ring to announce the start of a shift, break or lunch, and the end of the day. The bell schedule is defined by the day of the week, the time of day, and the duration of the bell. The bell schedules module can ring up to 336 bells per Time clock per week.
Each bell schedule template can contain multiple bell details. Once the Bell Schedule has been created, you will add the individual dates and times the bells will ring. The Bell Schedule is then downloaded to the appropriate time clocks. For more information, see Bell Schedules, page 117.
Profile Lockouts
The Profile Lockouts module controls when an employee can punch at a time clock. Employees can be given a lockout or a warning message when trying to punch In or Out at times that are restricted. Employees who are locked out are not permitted to complete their transaction but may have a supervisor punch them in by overriding the lockout.
You can also use the Profile Lockouts to send messages at certain times. For example, if you want to alert employees that they are clocking in too early, you could create a Profile Schedule with a "Too Early" message that displays when the employee clocks during certain hours of the day.
Lockout profiles are made up of Profile Schedules, which can contain up to 8 different time frames, each with its lockout and/or message. Each Profile Schedule specifies the time frames during which the lockout and/or message will display. There are 15 Profile Schedules are available, and 17 different lockout/messages are available.
After the lockout profile is complete, it is downloaded to the time clocks at which the profile will apply. Employees are assigned to the clocks and are assigned a profile schedule for each day of the week. For more information, see Profile Lockouts, page 121.
Benefit Accruals
Using Benefit Accruals, Genesis Pro can automatically calculate the available benefit time for your employees. These calculations are based upon rules that can account for different benefit types (vacation, sick, personal, etc.), different accrual methods, seniority rules and other factors. Benefit time taken is automatically subtracted from the available benefits so that balances are always accurate.
Genesis Pro allows for an unlimited number of policies so that you can accommodate different situations within your company. Each policy contains Accumulators, which specify the Categories, amounts and rules for earning benefits.
After the policies are created, they are assigned to appropriate employees within the company. For more information, see Benefit Accruals, page 146.
NOTE: Benefit Accruals is an additional module added into Genesis Pro. If you did not purchase Benefit Accruals, you will have Benefit Entitlement instead. See Benefit Entitlement: Configure, page 224.
Occurrence Ratings
Occurrence Ratings is an optional module that allows you to track an employee's attendance infractions, report on them, and send disciplinary notices when a specified number of infractions have been recorded. Occurrence Ratings are assigned to the employees that are affected by them.
It is possible to define which attendance codes count as infractions, how many infractions are considered an occurrence, and how many occurrences may be recorded before the disciplinary notice is generated. For more information, see Occurrence Rating, page 155.
PC Clock
PC Clock is an optional module that may be installed on anyone’s workstation and allows employees to clock in and out for the day, to lunch, and to breaks from their workstation. Employees may also use PC Clock to transfer departments or jobs and change their own passwords. PC Time Clock is perfect in situations where hardware data collection systems can't be cost-justified, or where hardware time clocks don't match into your organization's environment. For more information, see PC Clock, page 321.
WebClock
WebClock is an optional module that may be installed in addition to other hardware or as a stand- alone solution. Employees may use WebClock like any other clock except it works without badges thru a web browser. WebClock makes it easy to gather time from thousands of users in every corner of your enterprise, either across the building or across the country.
NOTE: The TimeSheet Submittal portion of WebClock only permits up to 3 levels of Job Costing to be entered or transferred.
For more information, see WebClock, page 342.

The Duratrax can have multiple configurations ranging from a simple route to complex route and issue tracking. DuraTrax is a contact bar code and Touch Memory button reader.
