Clever office system can use a specific shift on public holidays

Merseyside and Cheshire job centre staff walked out for the whole of the working week over proposed changes to the service. The workers took the three-day strike immediately after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee extended bank holiday. A rally by unions was scheduled for Liverpool city centre on Thursday. PCS North West regional secretary, Peter Middleman, said: “Senior Department for Work and Pensions managers are mistaken if they reckoned on us going away quietly.” A DWP spokesperson said: “We’re reorganising the work undertaken by Jobcentre Plus staff in Merseyside.”

Time and Attendance North West clocking systems enable a number of work patterns to be created at the office – a combination of daily rules that are either a repeating pattern of shifts or a list of alternative rules. Here, our WinTA system will predict the most appropriate shift depending on when an employee starts work. Each type of pattern can be set up to override the normal pattern and use a specific shift on public holidays.
