Shortfalls in manning levels can trigger SMS alerts under works attendance application

The only remaining train builder in Britain has had to lay off hundreds of workers based in the Midlands because it says all its contracts, except for some work with London Underground, would be complete by the end of September. Business Secretary Vince Cable said he believed Bombardier had planned to cut jobs in the UK anyway, whether it won the contract or not. Mr Cable told the BBC: "We can't reopen that whole process (tender)."

Take control of shifts, manning levels and working patterns at your small or large business using Tensor's Smart Card based payroll and Time & Attendance systems. For example, manning levels in our WinTAnet application are based upon employee skills required during the working week. Any shortfalls to the expected requirement, due to absenteeism for instance, can trigger a system email or SMS alerts. A separate module is available for rostering and manpower scheduling. You are pre-warned when applying a shift pattern that will result in a Working Time Regulations infringement.
