FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does CTR/NY help small businesses manage a remote workforce?
CTR/NY gives small businesses the same remote-workforce control big companies pay a fortune for: GPS tracking, geo-fencing, and Mobile ESS for iPhone and Android, plus Employee Self Service for Desktop. Because these are hosted options with minimal IT requirements, access from anywhere, and lower upfront costs, they're a great fit for any company, regardless of size.
How does GPS tracking and geo-fencing work in CTR/NY's Mobile ESS app?
Mobile ESS for iPhone and Android can track an employee's location and report it back to managers. Managers set up geo-zones by drawing directly on a Google Map, and when an employee punches outside an approved zone the system sends an automatic alert by email, on the labor dashboard, or on the employee's time card, so off-site punches never slip past you.
What can employees do in the CTR/NY Mobile ESS app?
Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, Mobile ESS lets employees punch in and out, send call-in-late or call-in-absent notices to supervisors, enter hours, tips, expenses, and missed punches, review schedules, worked hours, benefit balances, and leave requests, approve time cards, and request leave for partial, full, or multiple days. Punch restrictions prevent double punching, and the app shows options based on each employee's permissions.
What is Employee Self Service for Desktop from CTR/NY?
Employee Self Service for Desktop lets employees handle everyday tasks from their own PC: punching in and out, requesting time off, entering expenses and tips, and messaging managers, plus online worksheets, tasksheets, timesheets, and allocation sheets for entering hours and assigning them to specific jobs or projects. For CTR/NY customers that means less paperwork for managers and fewer interruptions for your team.
