How using an Employee Schedule can benefit your company
If employee attendance has been a constant thorn in your side when compiling employee’s schedules now there is no excuse since employee scheduling has taken on a brand new appearance. What use to be a nightmare for most managers has now become far less of a chore thanks to innovative advances in technology.
First off, scheduling software makes it possible, for you as manager, to store all of your records in one very convenient location. This is essential especially considering the heavy regulatory requirements with respect to proper human resource management. Also, a nice feature of having employee scheduling records and pertinent data in one handy spot is that past employee schedules can easily be retrieved-just in case a question should come up as to sufficiency of employee hours or precise days the employee worked during weeks prior.
Another innovation with respect to employee scheduling software is that it allows the manager to assemble a schedule well into the future. This means, you can put together employee’s schedules, weeks and months in advance if absolutely essential. Further, if an employee wishes time off he or she can request it early and it will already be shown on the schedule. In this way, you can plan accordingly for adequate coverage.
How about your part-timers? These individuals generally have very flexible hours; however, can present a scheduling dilemma for most managers if not handled properly. Many of these persons like to trade with other employees as far as days assigned or may call in at the last minute. You needn’t panic anymore on their account due to the fact the automated solution can easily allow for a schedule modification with respect to the trade; and/or provide you with a substitution list/database where employee names are stored in case of call-ins or last minute absences.
Employee scheduling software provides the manager and employee alike online scheduling. This feature makes it possible for your employees to have the convenience of checking their weekly or monthly schedule whenever it is most convenient. Should there be any changes to the schedule, the modifications are automatically updated and accessible to everybody on a twenty-four, seven day per week basis; once again, completely over the Internet.
Now there is no reason for an employee to wail he or she has lost his schedule unless of course the employee manages to lose his or her Internet connection. Still the Internet is available in all types of locales: even public facilities. In this light, there is little use for an employee to complain they aren’t properly informed with regard to the week’s schedule. The online feature makes absenteeism not as much of an issue; and subsequently improves business operational efficiency.
Using employee scheduling technology for small business use is just as important as it is for large businesses, as it offers the same benefits and features. It is equally valuable for the tracking of full or part time employees. It also can provide valuable information for reports such as monitoring employee performance and time management, and allows for more effective budgeting.
