Ensure your organisation is compliant with all working practices via personnel software
The High Court in London this week (commencing Monday, January 17) is due to see the main union representing the civil service mount a legal challenge regarding working conditions. The union has rejected changes to a redundancy scheme, saying if proposals go ahead compensation payouts could be reduced "at will" at a time when spending cuts were expected to lead to job losses in the civil service. Other civil service unions have accepted the scheme, announced by the government last year, although the Prison Officers Association is undecided.
Adopting a Time and Attendance South East smart card operated clocking and attendance recording system means your organisation is fully compliant with all working practices and conditions. As well as including European Working Time Directive checking and reporting, the WinTA software covers all the working practices and hours available, including annual contracts. It is possible to create a wide range of daily working patterns (shifts), with either fixed or flexitime rules. These can run past midnight, making night shifts easy to define.
