Knowing the True Cost with Vizual Management Solutions Absence Management Software
The average UK absence rate in 2008 equated to 8.1 days per employee, with an average cost of 601 pounds Sterling per person, according to a recent survey by Personnel Today's sister publication IRS Employment Review. The ability to record various types of holidays, sickness and absence is now more than ever an integral part of working practice.
Stoke-on-trent, United Kingdom, May 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With global issues such as the heavy snow fall the UK experienced in March and the more recent ash falls in April companies need to have accurate records of who was unable to attend work and for what reasons.
The ban on flights since the ash fall has large implications for employers’ payroll departments. Payroll have had to decide whether the unexpected absence of stranded staff affects their annual holiday allowance or should be treated as unpaid or paid holiday. Hence the need for a company to have an accurate Absence Management system to accurately maintain and monitor these allowances.
Amy Kirk New Business Manager from Vizual said “CaptureIT by Vizual has the ability to record and highlight upto 99 different allowance types, with the added ability to record both full-day and part-day absences. CaptureIT automatically keeps track of employees’ remaining holiday entitlement and shows you how many times they have been absent due to the snow fall, ash or other issues such as sickness.
“In addition to managing unplanned or unexpected absences CaptureIT enables you to forward plan for holidays by viewing a departmental holiday planner. Furthermore for each employees’ attendance planner you are able to drill down into a specific week or day to view the detailed work records for that period. You can then edit records and even add notes against each day and there is no limit to the amount of historical data you can retain within CaptureIT.”
