Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation promotes better quality of life for Palm Beach County residents and visitors by providing diverse, safe and affordable recreation services, welcoming parks, and enriching social and cultural experiences. In collaboration with Parks and Recreation, the Palm Beach County IT Department, Information System Services (ISS) designed, developed, and supported a state-of-the-art and easy-to-use Hand Scan module in Human Resources Information System (HRIS) that replaces NOVAtime, a timekeeping product developed by a software vendor which was used by Parks and Recreation department to interface with third party biometric device to record employee time in and out. The in-house ISS team also significantly augmented existing Time Attendance System (TAS) module of HRIS to robustly manage time data. This solution has allowed Parks and Recreation department to eliminate NOVAtime software support and licensing costs of $16,000 annually, maintain use of biometric devices previously acquired, and to efficiently and accurately process employees' time in/out for timekeeping and payroll purposes.
