Time and attendance module builds on Datatrack versatility

Employee time and attendance is a vital element of cost control and productivity levels, so the addition of the time and attendance function provides important statistics. Data input can be provided using keyboard and mouse, bar-code reader or touch-screen as well as a mixture of all, depending on equipment available or desirable. A supervisor module is also available for editing and correction of input and it contains a full reporting system. The module offers extra analysis and records, contributing to overall improvements in efficiency and effectiveness as customer Jason Meir (pictured), co-director at WML Engineering, explains: "It has disciplined the entire workforce to enter not only attendance but also shop floor data which enables us to accurately collect production information, job costs and keep our scheduler bang up-to-date. Our payroll company now need only a simple emailed report, straight from the system." The module provides alternatives for data collection: time and attendance only, with employee records available for analysis or export; time and attendance together with shop floor data collection analysing setting and production times independently by clocking on and off jobs and machines; standard post-event logging of shop floor data collection with independent analysis on recorded times for setting and production.
