The State of Montana is seeking a vendor to provide a modern, reliable, and user-friendly payroll and time management system. The solution should facilitate accurate time entry, support approvals, ensure overtime compliance, and include robust tools for leave tracking, scheduling, payroll processing, and comprehensive reporting.

The desired system will automate both payroll and timekeeping workflows, offering employee and manager self-service capabilities. Key requirements include clear audit trails, exception tracking, and flexibility in time collection methods, such as web-based platforms, mobile access, and physical time clocks. Additionally, the system must support advanced scheduling and pay-rule administration to accommodate the complex operational and workforce needs of state agencies.

Respondents are expected to describe in detail the available time collection options their system offers. This project is aimed at improving efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in payroll and time management across the state workforce.
