Supervisors can deny staff pending holiday requests using a mobile phone

Today the Department for Education at the Sanctuary Buildings in London was the scene of protests by lecturers and teachers. The University and College Union (UCU) marched through the capital and says 46 colleges and 16 universities are affected by one-off industrial action across London over pensions. Parents across the capital had been told by head teachers about plans to close or reduce lessons during the walkout. Sally Hunt, leader of the UCU lecturers’ union, said that her members were “unlikely militants”.

Time and Attendance South East can provide your organisation with a complete smart card time and attendance clocking system for monitoring your employees’ clocking data. Staff can use the proximity read clocking stations to swiftly input reasons for absence, including features like ‘smoking break’ or ‘doctor’, plus holiday requests. Supervisors logging into an online self-service module can amend their subordinates’ clockings and authorise or deny any pending holiday requests. The telephone feature allows the above, using a mobile phone.
