The power in our T&A solution i.e Synergy Time and Attendance is in its ability to manage a wide variety of work rules that can be defined for each day type, such as regular working days, weekends, public holidays, and various types of leave. It can then perform time and attendance calculations according to an organisation’s rules as defined in the work rules engine.
The work rules engine in our T&A solution can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual business, managing even the most complex set of time management policies and procedures to ensure employees work hours are accurately tracked and then reported to other departments, such as HR and payroll, where there can be assured of the data accuracy for subsequent reports and payroll processing.
Any exceptions are clearly listed and highlighted, making is simple for administrators and managers to quickly solve issues.
This highly customisable, scalable and easy to use systems can help increase productivity and reduce human resource management administration costs by clearly highlighting and exceptions and greatly reducing the need for manual input, which benefits businesses from small factories and warehouses employing just a few people, to large scale manufacturing, food production, hospitality & retail Industries.
How does Synergy Time and Attendance work?
Synergy Workforce Time & Attendance can provide predefined templates that can then be customised as needed. For example, “Allocate Transactions to Previous/Next Day” considers the first swipe of a day and compares it to subsequent swipes. If a swipe falls within a specified range of time after the first swipe, it will be allocated to the previous day. If there are no swipes on the previous day, the swipe will be allocated to the current day. This feature is useful if you have employees with different entry and exit times.
“Night Shift End Time” allocates a swipe to the previous day if its time is before the specified Night Shift End Time and is useful if your employees work night shifts that cross over into the next day.
It is Synergy Time and Attendance flexible work rules engine customisation that enable it to meet the unique demands of each business and adapt as the needs of the business change.
