Workflow / Self Service

There are many online interactive and self-service features which may be offered to employees. Through the Calendar interface - see below - which is at the heart of the system's workflow programme, employees can submit requests for time off using PCs, Mobile Phones and Tablets and can make updates to time and job records which are approved electronically by supervisor.

They can also

• Call up own activity reports and advise where they are going and when they will return
• Enquire about other staff to check cover levels before electronically requesting time off
• Swap shifts with colleagues

Electronic approvals of such requests are signed off by the supervisor who also has access to a full suite of reports. In addition, staff can make enquiries about other staff including:

• Checking cover levels before electronically requesting time off - thus, encouraging self-responsibility
• Who's In? This allows anyone to enquire about who's in or out and where that employee is. This is particularly useful for reception and switchboard staff, safety officers and supervisors
