Abstract
Purpose
Observes how two companies are benefiting from a new workforce-management system.
Design/methodology/approach
Examines how new software is helping the Sysco Group and Scan Computers.
Findings
Shows how the two companies are better able to track each employee’s working hours and absences including sickness and time-off, to make things easier when it comes to things like payroll and holiday entitlement.
Practical implications
Reveals that the biometric employee-attendance software uses fingerprint identification to track employees’ whereabouts throughout the working day. The software can cope with any type of work pattern and calculate overtime using its script engine.
Originality/value
Explains that, with so many companies opting for flexible working hours or rotational shifts, the software makes these easier to put into practice.
