Case Study
They had a faulty overtime calculation on their previous Time and Attendance system that let them make the mistake of paying way too much overtime for their employees. We set up their new overtime payment to only come into affect once each employee’s normal hours have been filled, so that there was no way of cheating the Clock system. They had to fill their normal hours in order to get paid overtime.
They didn’t have to search for any information!
They are currently using the NAKO Enterprise Software and this has enabled them to benefit from the Wellness Module. Here they can actually predict future employee behaviour based on past history. It’s a colour coded feature that makes it easy to spot trends and patterns in employee work behaviour based on the employee’s data. This is an excellent preventative strategy because it lets managers identify problems before they occur.
For example, if an employee is coming late to work regularly it is reflected as continuous red alerts by their name, where the manager can step in and confront the employee before problems start such as the employee suddenly quitting their job, committing fraud, etc. It is also used as a bonus allocating system, rewarding good employees for their positive workplace behaviour..
It even adds a GPS location, showing exactly where the employee was when he/she clocked in. In this way, the employee can’t lie and say there were in one place when they were actually in another place. We promote ethical and honest workplace behaviour; this is simply another way of ensuring that employees act responsibly and in good faith.
