TimeClock gives employees and managers an easy way to manage their shifts, payroll, benefits, and more. Employees have access to the front end where they can clock in and submit time off requests. The managers and admins have access to the backend where they can approve time off requests and payroll. TimeClock was also developed to be white labeled for resale.
As a team we wanted to create a central portal for managers and employees to manager their shifts and benefits. At the time employees were using a application called Webclock to track all of their hours. The application initially worked fine, it allowed employees to clock in and out, and kept a total of hours for the week. The needs of the employees and managers exceeded what Webclock could offer. Managers needed a better way to communicate time off requests, and employees needed a better way to see their total and projected hours, in additional to many other feature requests. We couldn’t get started on the project just yet, we had to understand the current process of payroll and how timesheets were approved and communicated. We also researched overtime and the complexities with daily and weekly overtime limits. Our research also included a deep dive into Quickbooks and how to incorporate our application with Quickbooks. After weeks of research we laid out our requirements for the new TimeClock application.

One of my tasks as the Project Manager and UX Designer is to create the overall flow and hierarchy of the application. This included all mockup pages for desktop and mobile. My other role was to review any and all mockups from my team, as Senior UX Designer I usually had the last eyes before approval.
To better develop and a portal for managers and employees, we had to understand business benefits like Paid Time Off, Accrual Rate, Overtime Laws by state. We also discovered that the application should be customizable for other businesses. One small example of our findings is that businesses have different levels of benefits for different types of employees (part time benefits, full time benefits, and tenure benefits), we had to ensure that our benefits tool could be tailored to other businesses, not just ours.
As Project Manager I would utilize Trello to track and manage tasks among my team. I would take the time and diligence to document each Trello card to sustain itself with little communication among teams. Each Trello card would contain all the required information for the task, this includes the summary of the task, the expected results, the CSS styling properties, screenshots, and the prototype file.
