Working day/Work pattern changes

by Lee Porter 17. February 2023 10:01
The Working day is used to calculate how many hours constitude a day of leave or sickness.  This is closely tied to the work pattern in use by an employee.  As such we have moved the Working day setting to the work pattern pages.  Now when you add a new work pattern, you will also set its Working day and it will calculate how many days of leave will be booked for each day.  This will provide clearer information from setup and ensure that the Working Day and Work Pattern remain accurate.

New Sickness Alert

by Lee Porter 11. April 2019 10:57

Sickness Alerts have previously been based around the employees Bradford Factor Score and Milton Mitigation (a similar scoring system to the Bradford Factor but calculated on the hours of sick rather than the Days of sick - allowing for part time variations).

We have now added an alert for a number of incidents of sick within a number of months e.g. 4 incidents in 6 months. There are two of these alerts available which will allow you to have two alert thresholds e.g. 3 in 3 months and 6 in 12 months.
