A clear distinction between simple time recording and more extensive scheduling, validation and payroll processing.

Are the recorded hours automatically processed in the payroll calculation?

No. The current Lia+ time clock records working time, but does not automatically convert those records into payroll entries. There is therefore no direct link whereby a recorded clock-in or clock-out is automatically processed as an entry for payroll calculation.

For example, if an employee has recorded nine hours, this does not automatically mean that Lia will classify eight of them as normal hours and one as overtime.

Does Lia automatically calculate overtime or flexitime?

No. The time clock records start, stop and, where applicable, break times. The recorded working time can be displayed based on this, but there is currently no extensive flexitime model behind it, including for example:

• core hours;
• standard hours or time bands;
• automatic accumulation or reduction of balances;
• automatic classification of overtime;
• automatic conversion into payroll codes.

The time clock is therefore a time-recording solution, not a complete workforce management solution.

Can I link an existing time-recording package or my white cash register to the Lia time clock?

Not as an automatic integration with the current time clock. An employer can use Lia+ for other functionalities, but existing time-recording packages and the Lia calendar currently still have technical limitations when used together.

More specifically, the Lia calendar uses a different underlying calendar function from the processing of traditional time-recording files. As a result, certain combinations are currently not possible.
