SYSTEM SECURITY CHANGES
The video above will show you exactly how the system will quickly and easily guide each user to reset their password and setup their multi-factor security settings.
OUR SOFTWARE PROVIDER IS NOW REQUIRING ALL OF OUR CLIENTS (AND ALL USERS OF THIS PLATFORM AROUND THE WORLD) TO COMPLY WITH NEW SYSTEM ACCOUNT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE JUNE 25, 2015.
In an effort to enhance security to the Pay 'n Time system, an enhanced security login process will be implemented as outlined below - with details immediately on the left side of this web page.
This change applies to ALL users that login to their account within the system, regardless if it's an administrator with full privileges or a staff level employee using their own account to request time off or view their pay stub (those clocking in/out via web clock or physical clock only will not be impacted). Our goal is to provide not only world-class technology, but world-class security, as well.
As you are aware, we are surrounded with news reports of security breaches at large and small companies and governments around the globe. With several high profile data breaches, including the most recent one involving the breach of the federal employee database, employers might be wondering - is there still something we can do better to protect our employees' data? The answer is absolutely YES; this is why we are implementing such enhanced security measures: to protect the data of your organization and employees.
We encourage you to share this information with your staff and employees. Most employees will already be familiar with such a process from using online banking or other web-based systems, as most banks now have such strict login guidelines.
This change will involve two approaches to address a higher level of protection - most of us have experienced these methods with other organizations in the cloud.
Increased Password Complexity Level:
Changes will be implemented that restrict the type of password that will be acceptable for use in the system. This includes a minimum password length of 8 characters and the password must include at least 1 of each of the following: Uppercase letter, Lowercase letter, Number, and Symbol.
Multi-Factor Authentication:
Passwords can protect, but Multi-Factor Authentication provides a way to generate a code specific to one login session and is sent to a user at the moment of login. The employee can choose to receive this code via text message, phone call, or email. Once received and entered, the user will enter the system as usual.
As system security is essential, the creator of this software is requiring and governing the release of these requirements on Thursday, June 25th in the early morning hours.
We understand there will be questions and as always, your primary contact with Pay 'n Time will be available to help you through these enhancements to system security. Thank you for understanding, and we are confident that the need to protect your organization and employees' sensitive data cannot be understated.
