Streamline higher education payroll & scheduling with TimeClock Plus & Ellucian

 
This webinar, hosted by Ellucian and TCP Software, explores solutions for higher education payroll and scheduling challenges.

The webinar introduced a unified solution designed to help higher education institutions overcome payroll and scheduling challenges through streamlined, integrated technology. The presenters emphasized the strong partnership between Ellucian and TCP, noting that TCP’s robust time and attendance tool integrates seamlessly with Ellucian’s systems, including the unique integration with Ellucian Ethos.

They highlighted TCP’s deep focus on employee scheduling, time tracking, and compliance, specifically addressing the complexities of managing diverse employee types—from faculty and adjuncts to student workers—within dynamic and multifaceted higher education environments.

The demonstration showcased various methods for clocking in and out: through mobile apps, web browsers, and physical RFID or biometric clocks, all of which support features like geofencing and self-service time-off requests. Supervisors benefit from customizable dashboards that provide real-time views of employee statuses, pending approvals, and detailed reporting. These features help eliminate manual processes, reduce errors, and ensure compliance with labor laws and union agreements. Automated scheduling tools further enable institutions to build shifts, manage staffing levels, and even forecast future needs, thereby optimizing operational efficiency.

Additional highlights included TCP’s commitment to customer success, with dedicated implementation specialists and rapid support response times. The solution’s integration with major systems like Banner and Colleague, multi-language support, and compliance tracking capabilities provides a significant ROI by streamlining payroll processes, reducing manual data entry, and avoiding costly compliance penalties. Overall, the webinar underscored how TCP and Ellucian’s integrated approach can transform time and attendance management in higher education.
