How can we improve Dentrix?

Track sick leave, PTO, vacation, and holidays

Add options for the Time Clock to track sick leave, PTO, vacation, and holidays. Set up columns for regular hours and additional columns for each sick, vacation and holiday. Show vacation time as a different color. Options to auto pay holidays.

        does anyone care for the hours to be directly posted to quicken or quickbooks? or maybe the daily transactions exported at the end of the day to quickbooks so that we can verify it with the bank via a bank download?

        We just began using the dentrix time clock and I really like the use of a timeclock, just makes everything "fair" so to speak. But it would be truly helpful to have something quicka nd easy to view time so profressively we knwo where we are all year.

        I would like the total hours to be separated with what Valarie stated. Sick Time, Vacation.
        I would also like the see the day of the week or something to separate the weeks.

        I was just thinking about how useful this would be. We recently started using the Dentrix time clock, and it has been nice in many ways, but it makes it difficult when trying to track vacation and holiday pay. What would be really nice is if you could set the total # of days available at the start of the year, this way you can easily tell employees how many hours/days they have left of PTO or vacation. It does add extra work hours to calculate - hours that could be better utilized in many areas!

        Is there a way to add PTO or Holiday without having to just add the hours? I just got off the phone with support and they told me I have to manually add holidays in as they come? Is this true?

        I agree that the Time Clockin Dentrix is really no better than paper and pen time tracking. Our system is password protected however and only the managers who have "rights" to the time clock can change a time punch. That is an easy problem to solve. It would also be nice if you could change the options in Dentrix Time Clock to keep time in portions of an hour rather than just hours and minutes worked. We have to hand calculate each employees (over 25) every pay period in order to turn it in to Paychex. Very time consuming.

        I agree with all of the comments below. For the past 3 years, the number one challenge was effectively tracking PTO, vacation & holidays. Please, Dentrix, for my sanity, i need this ASAP!!!!

        this is a great idea so that people can see for themselves what there hours are and do not have to ask OM etc.. there will be no confusion.

        Yes, we agree this would be VERY helpful to Time Clock users. Many times, staffers do not get paid for their vacation or sick time because it doesn't get tracked properly in Dentrix. Then we have to retrace the time and issue new checks. It's absurd that you can only clock in and out without any allowances for paid time off tracking.

        Dentrix Time Clock needs a COMPLETE OVERHAUL. I am currently paying for a separate software package because Dentrix time clock is outdated and unhelpful. I am paying and using Shopclock until the Dentrix module is fixed. Please see their website for ideas on how a real timeclock software package should work: http://www.shopclock.com/. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED!

        I have worked with many time clocks over the years in regards to payroll, and I can't believe a software as big as Dentrix has NO CAPABILITY to differentiate vacation/sick hours from regular hours. Now, precious time is wasted when I have to manually go look at each employees time card and manually track vacation hours. PLEASE EXPEDITE your efforts to solve this.

        It would also be nice if the staff had to enter in a password to clock in so no one else can clock in for anyone else!

      • NancyNancy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        i agree and i wish it could be set up so that each employee can set up a time clock of his/her own at their computer without seeing everyone elses. so that each morning when i come in i could just click a time clock icon on my desk top and just my time clock would show up and i could clock in and out. as it is now i have to right click the dentrix launch icon in the lower right tool bar and than when the time clock menue pops up i have to scroll down until i find my name and than slect that and than clock in..... would be easier if it was just my name that appeared and at the end of the week i could just print it up and turn it in.
