Any additional hours worked beyond the standard shift times are automatically identified and displayed to the software user with details of the name of the site where the employee attended and the extra period worked. This enables the operator to analyse the hours to one or more pay rates displayed in a dropdown list and disallow any time not to be paid. Additionally they can decide if any period should be highlighted for re-charge to the client because additional work has been undertaken.
· Completely automated timesheet management integrated with pay rate analysis means you spend more time on ensuring that you provide a quality cleaning service rather than on administration
· Prove your employee's attendance to your clients at any location
· Automatic Key Task reminders mean that important activities are never overlooked
· Client recharging analysis means greater profitability as extra work is never overlooked
Terminal options
easyLog offers a choice of two terminals with CM-Log - one is off-line and the other provides a realtime (on-line) attendance record. Both units require a mains electrical supply to operate. The key operational differences are:
CM-Log includes a personnel database so that key information about your staff can be logged and viewed in one convenient location. The software holds many details including home address and emergency contacts, previous employment, training records, workplace reviews, sickness absence and holidays and much more. Also the software can pro-actively prompt you with its diary that a training course needs to be re-taken, a review is needed and other definable actions - such as elements within an induction process - should be undertaken.
The attendance data is held in the terminal until being downloaded by use of a data transfer tag. This means that someone will need to go to the site on a regular or semi-regular basis to do this (the terminal holds around 1500 records but we would advise collection on at least a two weekly basis). It also means that the visit records won't be seen until they are downloaded into the a-Log software. This is done by inserting the data transfer tag into a reader connected to the PC and running a 'upload data' function.
Although the data will always need to be collected, it can be transfered into the software remotely by downloading it to an off-site PC or laptop and then using an additional utility to send the visit records by e-mail. On receipt the email is automatically read by the a-Log application and consolidated into the central database.
The terminal is in essence a mobile phone and effectively operates as such. On recording any employee's attendance the terminal automatically sends the equivalent of a 'text message' using GPRS to the CM-Log software with details of the time, date, location and employee. This means that the terminal requires a SIM card and has an on-going operating cost since it requires a provider contract for the GPRS service.
