Planning and Scheduling Staff
People Inc. provides users with a flexible roster planning tool that is easy to use, and provides the flexibility required to deal with the variable demands placed on a modern workforce. Work schedules can be evolved and duplicated period-by-period as required. Access to the roster can be provided at line-manager level encouraging and empowering team-leaders and spreading the work-load effectively. The line-manager is provided with information detailing the availability of individual employees for each day (displayed clearly in a colour-coded chart) and the work schedule can be adapted to ensure sufficient resource is available to cope with the planned workload.
Time Registration
Employees can clock-in using a hardware clock terminal via a proximity tag (or badge) or their fingerprint. Alternatively, staff with access to a computer can clock-in using various clocking software tools. All clock times are recorded. The system can be configured to apply standard business rules to clock times (when employees are paid, if they clock in before time, overtime rates, and holiday allowances); clock times are also compared to the roster. Real-time alerts are routed to managers via e-mail to enable them to react to resourcing issues quickly. The clock times can be verified and approved by line-managers (for example changes to rosters and sickness registration).
Reporting and Payroll Exports
Clock times (attendance), the work schedule, and employee absence can be analysed using reports. Standard reports are provided with the People Inc. time system. Where organisations wish to export information so that it can be used to process the payroll, this can be achieved using reports (generated as MS Excel spreadsheets, XML or PDF documents).
