PC spoken alerts of missing employees are heard in a variety of voices

At its annual Congress the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has voted to support co-ordinated strike action over a public sector pay freeze. Newly-appointed TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said government spending cuts were "sucking money out of people's pockets". Downing Street said it would continue the freeze and rejected calls to re-open talks on pay or pensions. A Downing Street spokesperson said: "We have put in place some changes to pensions — we don't intend to reopen those talks."

Both planned and unplanned absences from work are tracked via mobile and wireless technology based Time & Attendance from Tensor. Absenteeism and lateness reporting are just some of the functions of our advanced WinTA system. Email / SMS / speech notifications and alerts of missing employees are an advantage of the Tensor network. Using speakers attached to a PC or to Tensor's audio distribution network, spoken alerts are heard in a variety of voices and on screen 'agents' (similar to the Microsoft paperclip).
