When your phone dings right as you’re sitting down for dinner, how likely is it that it’s one of your employees texting about switching their shift? (Sigh.)
When staff come to you with a payroll question, what are the chances it’s because their hours worked didn’t accurately make it onto their paycheque? (Yikes!)
And when you’re burning the midnight oil, is it often because you realized you forgot about overtime legislation or someone’s upcoming vacation when you were building the schedule? (…ZZZ…)
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s official: you need an easier way to manage your team’s time!
Payworks’ Time Management solution is here to help simplify the process of scheduling your team, tracking their time, and making sure you’re compliant with legislation specific to your staff. Here are just three of the many ways we do it:
1. Say goodbye to starting from scratch.
While we don’t need to tell you that no week is ever truly the same, you’ve likely already found that “sweet spot” schedule – the one you can use as a starting point at minimum. Or maybe there are a few different versions, depending on the time of year!
With Payworks, you can turn those tried and true schedules into templates (no building from scratch required!) to pull from when you’re ready to build your schedules for the weeks ahead, and then you’re all set to adjust as needed based on the unique requirements for that specific timeframe. Hurray – you’re already (at least) halfway there!
2. Enjoy clearer communication around schedule
changes.
Hey, life happens… and once that schedule’s built and published, some folks might need to change their shifts. Through Payworks’ Self Service, you can empower them to put their shift up for grabs by their coworkers (but don’t worry – you’ll still get the chance to approve the change!).
Similarly, you can use Self Service to help fill an open shift; employees can place their request to fill it, and you can either configure these requests to auto-approve or receive a notification to review first. Bonus: schedules are updated in real time and notifications are sent out as shifts are swapped and requests are actioned. Everyone on the same page… how good does that sound?!
3. Count on accurate time tracking that flows straight through to payroll – no double-entry required.
Every team’s different – which means there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all time tracking. That’s why we have plenty of options! Whether staff are punching in at the office with a biometric-enabled clock, or out at the job site through their mobile device (psst: GPS is included), you’ll know you’re getting an accurate understanding of hours worked.
And once you’ve had a chance to approve them, those hours go directly to Payworks Payroll, ensuring everyone’s paid correctly for their efforts. Oh, and did we mention that stat holiday, overtime, break rules, and premium calculations are all done for you?
And of course, anytime you have questions, your dedicated Client Service Representative is there to provide expert guidance.
