by Lee Porter 17. November 2022 22:53
Employees personal documents now have an expiry date and will alert via a report when the expiration date is in the near future and flag when in the past.  This will be useful to replace or review some documents that have a shelf life or to trigger another related action.  The expiry date can be updated or removed altogether if it is no longer needed.

Document e-signatures and review

by Lee Porter 5. October 2018 12:48

A file can be uploaded, accessible by everyone in your Company such as your Company Handbooks or by an individual employee such as their Contract of employment.  Until now this was a library of files that the employee/HR could access for reference.  Any access they made was logged.

In addition to this you can now set that the employee is REQUIRED to read and/or accept them with a digital signature.  This might be amendments to their contract or new versions of an important Company document.  Any document that still needs read or signed will be highlighted on the employees Dashboard.  HR have access to a list of documents where these actions are still outstanding.

New way to add tasks

by Lee Porter 28. September 2018 16:15

You have always been able to add tasks to yourself, another employee or a group that can then be collected by an employe in that group or assigned by the manager.

We have now added a new way to add a task for everyone in the company, a task to everyone in one or more groups or a task for a selection of people.  Basically this means you can add one task to more than one person.  It might be to read the newly drafted Company Handbook or sign off a document or submit expenses.

To use the ToDo module it should be turned on in Admin > System Functionality > Set Functionality Required and the tasks can then be added by going to Actions > ToDo's > ToDo Menu. 

Fire report

Companycontrols.net and EW Assist both include a fire report that pulls together the work pattern, punch information, whereabouts and leave and sickness information to provide a comprehensive list of all your staff and their location information.  This can be useful at any time but in particular when you need to know who is in your place of work in an emergency.

Any visitors are also included on the report.

This report is available to view by any user of the software and is on hand at a moments notice.

New Leave Year Tasks

by Lee Porter 6. January 2015 11:27

WORKING YEAR CALENDAR 

When a new leave year approaches you will want to make sure a working year calendar exists to cover the period of time.  You can do this by going to Admin > Settings > Calendars > Your Calendars and click on the name of each working year calendar (NOTE: there may be more than one but you only need to consider calendars that have users using them (shown by the 3rd column of 'Num Users')).  Once the calendar is open you should check to see that the next leave year is covered by the Calendar Set Periods (i.e. the years).  If you need to add another year you should increase the 'Num Periods' by 1 (e.g. from 4 to 5) and submit.  This will add the next year to the Calendar Set Periods.  You should check that the Public Holidays, if any are added, are correct and you can remove and add more if needed.

Not having a working year calendar for a year will STOP ANY LEAVE BEING BOOKED THAT FALLS IN THAT YEAR. 

MANDATORY HOLIDAY CALENDAR

This is a similar task to the above but instead of bank holidays and non working days it holds leave days that are forced booked for anyone who uses that Mandatory Calendar.  It is good practice to have a year in the Mandatory calendar added for each year in the working year calendar, even if there are no mandatory dates in the calendar.

LEAVE CYCLES

When a working year calendar is available, then just by booking a leave request will automatically add the leave year if it doesn't already exist.  If you would prefer to add all the leave years for all staff you can do so by going to Admin > System Functionality > Leave > Leave Cycles > Next Year.

MISC

A few jobs to consider:

Any leave rules that work across dates such as management meetings (Admin > System Functionality > Leave > Absence Rules)

Cancel any draft leave thats not needed (Admin > System Functionality > Leave > Current Draft Requests)

Approve or reject any leave that is waiting for approval that's in the past

Add any manual adjustments to individuals leave years for things like extra days for length of service

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
 
Keeping this information can be time consuming but We makes it easy to capture.  The questions and possible answers, which are available to edit and add to, are only available to your employees.  The reporting of this information is at a company level.  This is particularly important as the answers to these questions are often very personal.  The questions cover length of service, age, sex, Ethnicity, Disability, sexual orientation and religion.
