The supermarket will be located on Christy’s Lane in Shaftesbury, and could create as many as 40 jobs. The sales prediction for this supermarket is over £10m. 

 

The application’s planning statement reads: "The proposals will result in a multi-million pound investment on a logical brownfield development site adjacent to Shaftesbury Town Centre.

 

"Whilst difficult to quantify it is also not unreasonable to assume that the proposals will act as a catalyst for further investment within the town centre.

"Approximately, 40 full and part time jobs will be created directly by the application proposals.

 

"These will be both full-time and part-time and will be across a range of skill sets. The majority of these jobs will also be taken up by local people and the proposals will provide them with a real opportunity for career advancement."

Supermarkets all of kinds, including discount supermarkets such as Lidl, need a large number of staff, including night shifts and part-time staff in all areas from warehouse staff to cashiers and shelf stackers. 

 

Very often, supermarkets still rely on paper timesheets, handed in by their workers at the end of the week or month. The more staff the supermarkets have, the more this inefficient pile of paper will mount up.

 

Getting employees to retrospectively record their hours worked directly onto paper is not only open to fraud and mistakes, it also makes room for human error further up the chain. 

 

What if employees forget to hand them in? Or managers misplace them? This is particularly a problem with weekly timesheets, as the amount of paper generated is gigantic. 

 

Whoever need to transcribe the sheets in order to input hours worked into the payroll program is likely to fall victim to employees’ bad handwriting and forgetfulness. 

 

Thankfully there’s an easy solution. When employees clock in using our clocking terminals (these accept smartcard or biometric data) the information is recorded by the powerful WinTA software and can be exported straight to your payroll software or made into reports. The timings can also be reviewed by supervisors to check for possible mistake or fraud – this is protected information and you can restrict who views it in the software settings.
