Businesses can get warning emails when employees are absent from work

Threats of a strike on the prime European rail network have been called off after a pay deal was sorted out for cleaners. The maintenance workers on the Eurostar service ceased their pay dispute after accepting a settlement which they say will see staff earning a minimum rate of £8 an hour. The new pay deal comes into effect in the autumn. The agreement agreed with cleaners’ employer OCS is worth 8 per cent on basic pay.

If your firm has problems identifying or anticipating when employees are absent from work, Tensor’s time and attendance systems include a facility for absenteeism and lateness reporting. Accurate information about absenteeism and lateness is provided for businesses through warning email notifications, SMS messaging direct to a supervisor’s mobile or via hardcopy reports. The system quickly identifies missing employees that are expected to be at work and then informs you via automatic email reporting. Data on manning levels is another feature of Tensor’s advanced WinTAnet system.
