Reduce Your Salary Bill Using a Retail Time and Attendance System
When times are hard the need to control costs is paramount. The cost of your workforce is a major factor in any financial planning. If you can improve the control over your staff working hours your company can save perhaps 2-3% on the annual salary bill.
For a company with 500 employees with average annual cost of £20,000 per employee – this translates into £200,000 - £300,000 per year.
In retail these controls are critical. Employees work night shifts, weekends, split shifts, part-time, shared jobs etc. Sometimes employees will have flexi-time agreements. You must have a proper Time and Attendance system to manage all this efficiently.
If you want to be sure that employees are not clocking for their friends, what is commonly known as “buddy punching” you should consider using biometrics technology.
Synel Industries specialises in offering Time and Attendance to Retail in 40 countries around the world.
In the UK we supply solutions to IKEA, Poundland, Sainsbury’s, LIDL, Arcadia, Fourth Hospitality and others with Time and Attendance, Security Access control and WorkForce Scheduling. Our customers use either card based systems or finger print and face recognition technology to identify the employees.
The software is multi user multi site and multi language.
Managers in the shops will have WEB access to their employees’ data, they will authorise overtime, view and authorise absences, view employees’ time cards etc.
The administrators in the Head Office will have overall responsibility for the Time and Attendance application; they will create the payroll export, interface with HR, and monitor the use by the Store Managers etc. The Synel Time and Attendance system sends automatic alerts to nominated users for any predefined event, for example, late arrival of specific employees, no response from a site, late transfer of data etc.
Managers can access the system using tablet PC’s with any internet browser.
You can also add Security Access Control as part of the Time & Attendance system.
