FIRST SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS CAREBLOX
Remove the hassle of timesheets, improve accuracy in payments to staff and reduce your payroll costs with our innovative Time and Attendance system. The system includes a web-based rostering system and a local touch-screen terminal, which acts as a clocking-in system. It allows staff to view hours worked, check remaining holiday entitlement and shift details, and make requests for holidays. Time off-site and agency and bank hours can also be captured. A digital image of the user is captured as they clock in, which means ‘buddy clocking’
is not possible. The web-based software provides a highly efficient and secure management tool, providing sickness and holiday records, customisable templates for rostering, automated bank staff selection, simple management of exceptions and the facility to export hours data, a payroll system or bureau. Time and Attendance from First Software Solutions Ltd - CareBlox.
