And now… cross-browser compatibility!
So far, so good!
Our recent Winter Release of the iEmployee Time & Attendance tools went very smoothly. Customers seem pleased, there are very few bugs, and the development, QA, and support teams even celebrated a little (after working through the night to make the upgrade and then verify functionality).
One thing we didn’t mention in a previous post, though, which is very big news for iEmployee is that it is now “cross-browser compatible.”
With this new release, iEmployee will now support Chrome, Firefox and Safari Web browsers in addition to Internet Explorer. This cross-browser compatibility allows both PC and Mac users to take advantage of iEmployee’s Time and Attendance application.
Says Mike Galyen, vice president of products & services, “Cross-browser compatibility is not common for many Web applications, but as more companies begin to adopt more diverse platforms, we recognized it was important for us to support them.”

Yes, children can harm your career.
Of course they can. But there are obvious rebuttals, the most obvious being, “What’s the alternative? Do we think it’s better for our careers to harm our children?”
A recent survey conducted in the United Kingdom that finds that the more generous a company/country is with maternity leave, the less likely that company/country is to have women in managerial roles.
(In the U.K.) one in three women (39 per cent) said they found going back to work after having a baby ‘difficult’ or ‘very difficult’, with 31 per cent saying their relationship with their boss had deteriorated since they had become pregnant.
This is what all those women’s magazines are talking about when they talk about balance. The one thing they leave out, though, is that it’s almost impossible to achieve. But a human resources professional is supposed to avert these kinds of disasters… and violations. After all, maternity leave is more than just a payroll headache, right?
What do you think? Read more about the survey here: http://www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.com/press-office/press-releases/view/184

Coming soon: Even better time and attendance software
We’ve been in the automated time and attendance business for more than 10 years. And while that’s a long time, right now is the best time for iEmployee.
That’s because we have a renewed commitment to bringing you the most reliable, accurate, and best time and attendance solution available today.
Okay, companies say this all the time. But you’re about to see what we’re talking about next week.
On the night of December 9, we’ll shut down iEmployee for a couple of hours so that our programmers can make a few very important changes to our time and attendance tools. When you log in on December 10, you’ll notice a few slight changes to how iEmployee looks. But you’ll also notice a few key functionalities are better than ever.
(That’s the beauty of Web-based software. It’s like little elves come in and upgrade your software overnight – no IT staff needed. All you see is the best iEmployee version out there!)
The biggest change is that fantastic “global navigation” toolbar at the top of the screen. We’ve added this to every page so you can navigate the entire software from those selections.
There are other changes, too, and you can learn more about them on our special 2009 Winter Release webpage. On this webpage you’ll also be able to review the following:
- A list of FAQs about the changes
- A downloadable Word document you can use to send to employees and managers so they’ll know what’s going on when they log on
- A 3-minute demo that walks you through some of the changes.

Of course, if you have any other questions, feel free to contact you support representative.
And here’s the best part: We want you to tell us what you think!
Seriously. Do you love it, hate it? What else can we improve? We’re committed to helping you have easier payroll days, and we can’t do it without your feedback.
Talk to your support representative or comment on this post, below.
We can’t wait to hear from you!
