AUSTIN, TEXAS ( Nov. 15, 2005 ) -- Journyx -- the leader in Web-based time and expense tracking solutions that automate invoicing, payroll and project management -- today announces that a patent application has been examined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and allowed for issuance as a U.S. patent. The patent is for providing employee incentives for timely interaction with a time records system.
Specifically, the invention ( patent No. 6,944,652 ) includes a method and system for encouraging employees and managers to use the time keeping and expense entry server for entering and approving time entries. Thus, the employee provides final time entries to the server, and the server provides the final time entries to an employee manager for approval. After receiving approval, the server generates approved time entries to an accounting department terminal, and if appropriate, to a contract employer terminal so as to trigger invoicing and payment for the employee's labor. The server also generates an employee award or incentive, if appropriate - for example, airline miles or Internet coupons - for following specified time entry procedures.
"This is just more evidence that Journyx is leading the charge to find new ways to increase compliance in using timesheet systems," said Curt Finch, CEO of Journyx. "We are absolutely committed to delivering business value. Timesheet software can't do this if people don't use it. Our products are the most user friendly, flexible, configurable products out there in this space and we continually look for new ideas for improvement."
Journyx executives Curt Finch and William Miller, and former Journyx executives William Leake and Chris Anderson, invented this proprietary technology.
