AMGtime will be returning to Staffing World on October 15-17, located at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. At booth #421, AMGtime will highlight why so many staffing agencies utilize their cloud system for time and attendance, biometric devices, mobile apps, and more. Tailored to staffing agencies, AMGtime has developed a Staffing Agency Module which allows agencies to track employee’s pay rates, client bill rates, and use a variety of biometric terminals at various locations.
Adding to the agenda this year, AMGtime is proud to announce that its own Director of Business Development, Marine Galstyan, kicks off this year’s lineup of “Tech Talk” on the topic of The Next Phase in HR Technology: Employee Engagement and Compliance. Taking place on “Tech Wednesday” on Stage 1 beginning at 10:30 am, Marine will go into detail about the future of HR Technology.
At booth #421, AMGtime will highlight its latest updates and newest features since visiting Staffing World last year. Two new features staffing agencies will greatly benefit from is the “Activity-Based Billing” that will consist of AMGtime software monitoring employee’s transactions within a billing cycle and only billing agencies based on those active employees. This will greatly benefit those clients who have employees working temporarily from job to job. This is expected to save a lot of time on the user’s end by not having to continuously change employee’s status in the system. Secondly, we have added the “Bill Rate Summary Report” showcasing what needs to be billed for an employee’s time worked in a division, job and/or department.
Additionally, we have added our Payroll Wizard for building new payroll exports directly from the system. Seamless API integrations with HCM and payroll software, such as the recent Execupay single sign-on partnership. One of our biggest updates pertains to compliance with local biometric laws using features such as the automatic and remote inactivation of employees and the removal of verification templates from devices. Lastly, we have created a Hybrid Integration Tool that will allow for faster and more efficient integration with other software vendors that staffing agencies utilize in case the other party lacks an API or unwilling to cooperate with AMGtime.
Staffing World is the largest staffing, recruiting, and workforce solution conference held by the American Staffing Association. Attendees are allowed to network with companies like AMGtime but also participate in workshops, mixers, book signings, and talking sessions. Keynote speakers will comprise of Becky Frankiewicz, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., and Jon Dorenbos. Visit AMGtime at booth #421 to learn more about time and attendance management solutions and its importance in the workforce.

Efficiently manage employee time and attendance, pay rate and client rate, and managing employees working at different client locations can get quite strenuous for staffing agencies.
Fortunately, AMGtime has developed solutions that speed up the process and eliminate human error so that staffing agencies can focus on growing their business. AMGtime makes it easy for staffing agencies to introduce a time and attendance system to their clients.
Below are some popular AMGtime solutions amongst our staffing clients.
This module tracks employee hours at client locations, monitors employee pay rate and client bill rate, imports schedules, as well as runs a wage summary report that calculates wages on bill rate. Staffing agencies can painlessly manage their workforce with this solution.
Job/Department costing allows management to apply varied compensation per employee based on different jobs and/or departments to which they are assigned. Employees of staffing agencies tackle different jobs throughout the day. Some jobs may require a different skillset and therefore higher/lower pay than others. This solution ensures that the appropriate wages are linked with the correct employee for their hours worked, making managing wages effortless.
Scheduling employees have never been easier! One Screen Easy Scheduling allows managers to create and edit all employees or a group of employee’s schedules in one screen. This is great for staffing agencies as they often need to quickly schedule multiple employees all at the same time. This feature also allows for setting schedule rotations.
Hardware provides one of the most efficient ways for Staffing Agencies to gather time and attendance data across multiple clients. However, can get time-consuming to transfer employee information across various devices in different locations. The Badge Repository feature allows you to save time setting up employees in multiple devices by manually or automatically transferring employee verification methods (badges) from device to another in one screen!
These popular solutions only represent a fraction of AMGtime’s offerings. For a more comprehensive look into what AMGtime can provide Staffing Agencies, click here.
Managing Skilled Nursing Facilities has a lot of moving pieces. Accurately tracking employee time and attendance, scheduling the right number of caretakers for their patients, monitoring direct care hours spent per patient, maintaining compliancy, and more are crucial but time-consuming factors. Ultimately, they take time away from what matters most, focusing care on patients.
Luckily, not only does AMGtime provide efficient and accurate time and attendance solutions but has also developed the Skilled Nursing Facility module – a solution that was inspired by a long-standing SNF client’s pain points. The Skilled Nursing Facility module was developed to automate the calculation of the Nursing Hours per Patient Day (HPPD) ratio and Certified Nursing Assistant hours, to make sure staffing requirements set by the state and federal government are met. This also includes an XML output according to PBJ specifications as well as other relevant reports.
AMGtime helps control labor costs, minimizes compliance risk, and improves workforce productivity. Scroll below for additional popular solutions amongst Skilled Nursing Facilities.
This module creates and configures rules for automatically accruing benefits based on a facility’s policy as well as an employee’s number of worked hours. This solution also calculates and adds available sick pay depending on hours worked. Through automating these calculations, the SNF can ensure efficiency in managing their employees’ benefits and sick leave.
Job/Department costing allows management to apply varied compensation per employee based on different jobs and/or departments to which they are assigned. It is common for SNF employees to take on different jobs throughout the day. Some jobs may require a different skillset and therefore higher/lower pay than others. This solution ensures that the appropriate wages are linked with the correct employee for their hours worked, making managing wages effortless.
Workforce Scheduling automates the process of employee scheduling. Assigning schedules in an SNF facility has more nuances than other companies. Doctors, physical therapists, nurses, administrative staff, janitorial staff, and others make up a functioning skilled nursing facility. This workforce scheduling solution smartly schedules staff for appropriate shifts. Management can create schedules through auto-scheduling or using the ‘Best Candidate’ option to fill shifts. Managers can set specific certifications, skills, trainings, and/or other job qualifications. Meanwhile, employees set their own availability and preferences. With manager approval, employees can drop, pick-up, or swap shifts with colleagues of the same qualifications. This solution ensures required shifts are covered with the correct staff, eliminating mix-ups and coverage gaps.
AMGtime offers a vast collection of biometric devices with multiple data capture options. SNFs can track employee’s attendance on devices through fingerprint, facial recognition, proximity badge/ID card, or PIN/password. Devices can be placed in multiple locations of the facility as all devices connect to our software and synchronize data in real-time. SNFs find facial recognition devices particularly attractive as it provides a hygienic, “no-touch” punch in.
These popular solutions only represent a fraction of AMGtime’s offerings. For a more comprehensive look into what AMGtime can provide SNFs, click here.

The Skilled Nursing Facility module automatically calculates the Nursing Hours Per Patient Day (NHPPD) ratio in real time and generates reports according to PBJ specifications as well as many other relevant reports. We’ve recently updated the module to monitor Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) hours to be in accordance with California’s recent law update.

Exciting news for all employers! AMGtime recently made new developments to its Advanced Workforce Scheduling. If your business requires ever-changing daily schedules, then this solution is for you. Gas stations, restaurants, and retail stores are a few operations that are constantly changing their schedules to fit employee’s availability and shifts needed for the day. That is why we made scheduling an even easier task for you to handle!
Within this simplified view of the Advanced Scheduling module, administrator can effortlessly modify work hours, lunch and breaks without creating shift groups. Simply drag or drop the shift to make quick adjustments. If that wasn’t convincing enough, the simplified scheduling feature can autosuggest qualifying employees for open shifts.
“I think it’s great that this feature provides flexibility with scheduling”, says our Technical Support Specialist, Brett Johnson. His clients can now create individualized schedules with ease and print schedules for employees to view working hours, breaks and lunch.
The daily view is just one capability included with the robust Advanced Workforce Scheduling module. AMGtime created Workforce Scheduling with employers in mind to assist in reducing labor costs and eliminating compliance risk. Employees can alleviate the stress of scheduling by setting availabilities and preferences. If allowed by employer/manager, employers can drop, swap or pick-up shifts with qualifying employees who meet training, skill and certification requirements. The auto-scheduling function generates schedules for you by zeroing in on the “Best Candidate” for the job. All changes and requests can be monitored on the customizable dashboard. Scheduling never looked so good.
