Time Theft
Time theft, where employees are paid for time they did not work, can be a significant drain on resources. Having time and attendance software in place can eliminate this issue by providing accurate and tamper-proof records of employee attendance. This ensures that care homes only pay for the hours worked, reducing payroll costs and improving financial accountability.
Accurate tracking of employee hours helps to minimise overtime costs by ensuring that staff work within their scheduled hours. When overtime is necessary, automated systems can alert Management, allowing them to make informed decisions about staffing levels and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Adequate staffing levels ensure that residents receive consistent and reliable care. Automated scheduling systems help to avoid gaps in coverage, ensuring that there is always a sufficient number of staff on hand to meet residents' needs. This consistency is crucial for maintaining the trust and confidence of residents and their families.
