Time and Attendance South West systems improve payroll accuracy and efficiency

Eric Pickles, the new Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, has ordered Bristol City Council to hand back £3.1 million from this year’s budget, with projects aimed at improving teaching standards and cutting teenage pregnancies among the first that be axed. A total of almost £7 million is being taken from council funding in the Bristol area as the Government demands immediate cuts to help tackle the nation’s debt.

As local authorities, usually one the largest employers in a community, struggle to come to terms with cuts, it is inevitable they will trim jobs. To minimise the pain of this financial ‘Pickle’, an effective way to be more efficient with staffing levels and costs is to use a clocking in and job costing technology from Time and Attendance South West, based in Dorset.

Time and Attendance South West’s systems improve payroll accuracy and efficiency through using computer technology to keep up-to-date and accurate records of your staff hours and attendance. At the same time, they reduce errors that can cost you money. If you have more than 20 employees, as council authorities do, the vast majority of organisations would be better served by our time and attendance systems than a manual system.
