 How does  TimePeace cope with a business that is open 24 hours?
 Simply!- tick the “Open 24 hours” option in the Control file -
TimePeace takes care of the rest!( including the stat days!)

 What is the Best Practice Procedure to fix errors or omissions  in the export file to the TimePeace Corporate? 

Situation 1.Simple solution: backup first and then edit log file, add records etc then recreate Corporat.tps and then send.
Situation 2.
You have sent the Corporat.tps file and then discover an error, or omission.
Solution: telephone the payroll office and ask whether the data has  has imported into TimePeace Corporate.
If not then ask  to delete your email attachment and then resend  after editing completed as in situation 1.

 Situation 3.
The data  has been imported into  the corporate file but not yet exported  into the payroll programme.
TimePeace Corporate has a utility to delete the log records by date and by store.This can easily be done  and then you subsquently resend.

 Situation 4.
Corporat.tps data has been imported  and the Payroll oficer has completed the payment process by importing into the payroll application. 

 At this stage I think best left alone and a catch up record created in the log at branch end to cover the error.
 Staff will need to wait until the following pay day for the corrected net wage.However, if this causes undue stress to the employee , personally, I would lend the staff member the money owing with the agreement that the money gets repaid the following week.

To Back Up or Failsafe ?
A failsafe should be done only when something major is going to occur, like moving the timePeace folder to a new computer or doing an upgrade.
 If something goes wrong with the upgrade , then we have a complete copy of the entire application, and it is a simple matter to copy back and start over. 

 A back up is done so that if  mistake happens then the relevant file ie log file, employee file, control file etc can be overwritten. 
 If we have a backup on a remote medium like a memory stick or another computer in the network, and the hard drive fails on the TimePeace server then we can recover the data from the latest remote backup. 

 Its also important that the TimePeace Help Desk  knows your latest TimePeace version number  so that if need be, receive your backup data by email and then create another working TimePeace folder for you to download and use. The data however is “married to the version number”

 (Incidently the problem moving from one machine to another is that we need to be mindful of the direction path the clocks have and amend this otherwise we will be operating two systems with data going to the wrong timepeace folder…) 

 I am thinking of changing my payroll from weekly to fortnightly. How would I make this change in TimePeace? 
 Easily! Simply by ticking a box in the control file…
 “Pay fortnightly”
 All reports will now be for the fortnight ending…
 and the import file into your payroll programme will be for the fortnight, automatically

 Can I Import TimePeace data directly into my payroll Programme?
Yes !
