Timestar for Sage HRMS

The result of insight and expertise developed for over a decade as one of Sage’s top Abra Business Partners, Insperity™ TimeStar™
for Sage Abra is the premier time and attendance automation and labor management solution for Sage Abra HRMS. Whether your
enterprise is using a single component, or the entire suite, TimeStar™ eliminates redundant data entry with seamless, automated
data integration. By leveraging Insperity’s in-depth knowledge of the Abra infrastructure and “best practices”, TimeStar™ offers the
most immediate and highest time and attendance ROI in the industry.
The perfect complement to the Sage Abra comprehensive HR and payroll (in-house or outsourced) functionality, TimeStar™
completes the “punch-to-paycheck” workflow and enables you to collect, analyze, and make immediate decisions on your
employees’ labor data — all in “real-time” via the Internet.
Employees, supervisors and management are empowered within your workflow with the 100% browser-based intuitive interface. If
your Sage Abra solution includes Abra Workforce Connections™, TimeStar™ can be deployed as an integrated “plug-in” module
directly within the AWC application. If you’re not using Abra Workforce Connections™, TimeStar™ is an ideal standalone solution as
your web-based, employee-facing portal to the HR, benefits and labor data your employees and supervisors need. TimeStar™
eliminates burdensome manual processes by offering employee self-service for time-off requests, time entry, review and signoff,
labor allocation, scheduling and much more. Real-time information, the Status Monitor and email alerting allows your supervisors to
monitor attendance, manage exceptions and prevent overtime costs before they occur, while at the same time streamlining
supervisor accountability with an efficient and powerful approval process.
Built upon Microsoft’s robust SQL-Server database platform, TimeStar™ for Sage Abra offers industry-leading performance and
configurability. It will scale effortlessly with growth in your employee population and increasing complexity in your Sage Abra
business rules. TimeStar™ accommodates even the most complicated time and labor rules, attendance policies, union regulations
and scheduling requirements, all with pinpoint precision.
Employees spread across the site, or across the country, can enter their time with the variety of data collection option appropriate
to their working environment and your agency culture. Web punching, spreadsheet-style entry, biometrics, badges, telephony,
proximity and mobile devices are all supported in both real-time and batch-process modes.
The Insperity advantage over our competitors lies in our ability to respond to each client’s unique needs and our corporate-wide
“culture of consultation.” All implementations follow a highly consultative and comfortable process, beginning with a
comprehensive understanding of your enterprise’s business goals. Your Insperity Labor Management Consultant will develop a
customized specification; the Professional Services team will implement TimeStar™; and the entire Insperity team, led by Insperity
Support, will work to keep you satisfied for years to come.
Insperity™ TimeStar™ for Sage Abra is available as a licensed solution, or as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription.
