Red Wing Software Releases CenterPoint Time Clock Web Version 3.0

13 September 2022 StephanieE
Red Wing Software announces the release of CenterPoint Time Clock web version 3.0. This update includes many new enhancements to make the CenterPoint Time Clock experience better for payroll administrators, supervisors and employees.
• Time entry is faster and more accurate for employees with the ability to set default pay entry information, rather than selecting from a list each day.
• View only the time cards you want to see with date filters that can be set, by default, to an activity range of your choice.
• Supervisors can now add notes when approving or denying time-off requests and time.
• Process payroll without interruption by allowing alternate supervisors to approve time cards and time-off requests in the absence of an employee's regular supervisor.
• Easily register, one time, across multiple payroll services (Publish Pay Advices, CenterPoint Employee Portal, and CenterPoint Time Clock).

Employee Spotlight - Carrie Armstrong

12 September 2022 StephanieE Employee Spotlight
My name is Carrie Armstrong, and I am the Administrative Assistant for Red Wing Software. Chances are when you call in; I am the voice on the other end. I have been here for just over three years. I am from Red Wing, Minnesota, originally and have lived here my whole life. I have been married for 22 years to my husband Lucas, and we have two children: Jasmyn, who is 21 and Myles, who is 19 years old. We have one dog Bentley, and two cats, Loki and Binx. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
Most recently, I became a grandma for the very first time. On July 4th this little firecracker came into the world weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 19.25” long. Her name is Maren Elizabeth, and she is absolutely the light of my life. I think there have only been three days that I have not stopped by to see her since she was born. I am fortunate that my daughter and her husband live less than a mile away from me, and it’s on my way home, so I can use the excuse, “I was just driving by and thought I’d stop to say hi”. Ha ha ha!
I love my job at Red Wing Software and look forward to speaking with you when you call in!!!

Notes from the President

01 September 2022 khilton Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

What is the best way to learn something new? People learn in different ways. Some prefer to read about the topic, some may want to watch videos, and others choose to have someone else walk them through the process. Any of these methods work equally well, depending on your learning style.
If the subject is new to you, a little orientation is likely needed to gain familiarity with the task. While all the methods outlined above may be a good starting point, I believe the best way to get comfortable with the subject is to teach it.
A few years ago (okay, maybe decades), I taught classroom training on some of our software products. In one year, I traveled to nearly 20 different cities teaching the class. Every single time during the training, I learned something new. Maybe it was because I changed the order of the subject matter, or it might have been a question from a student, and I needed to do some research or experiment.
Last year, a consulting organization I belong to asked me to teach a class on ethics at an annual meeting. I attended many classes in the past, but teaching it gave me a whole new perspective.
Give it a try. Take a process you are somewhat familiar with and make a video teaching someone how it works. You’ll be surprised how much you learn, and you may even post it on social media and become a famous influencer.
