RFP026-11 Time and Attendance Software Solution

The purpose of this request is to solicit proposals from firms interested in serving as the Time and Attendance software provider for the City of Meriden.

The City of Meriden has seven (7) departments for which time and attendance is required., necessitating 16 clocks. Further it has needs for employees that work in the field, departments that are open 24/7 and individual employees that are paid under various payroll codes. The City is interested in using biometric time punches and taking advantage of technology that will help to account for and protect employee time. The City employs seasonal crews and the number of employees may reach over 200 during the summer and close to 150 regular employee.

Both the City and BOE use the same financial accounting system, MUNIS under the same contractual terms. However, the database for the City and BOE are separate. The contract and use of time and attendance software would operate similarly.

The City would be implemented during a first phase and the BOE will make a decision subsequently whether to use the same provider as the City.

At present the Town’s timesheets are prepared on paper and manually loaded into the accounting system.
