Time and attendance in care homes

The need to oversee staffing in a 24/7/365 working environment is crucial in healthcare settings: to ensure all staff are on site and working and, more importantly, that the correct and necessary members of staff are providing the care that is expected.

The challenge

Care home solutions for around-the-clock staffing

Thinking Software’s time and attendance solutions save time with the often complicated around-the-clock staffing required in care homes. They also eliminate payroll errors, help to boost staff productivity, reduce payroll costs and maximise the efficiency of absence management.

Even with the complexities of managing staff across different sites and with a range of contracts, time and attendance provides a centralised solution that makes it easy for managers to keep track of staff and their working hours and, ultimately, to ensure sufficient levels of care for their residents.

Like any business, care homes want to find ways of reducing staff costs. Making the process of managing rotas more efficient is key: with actual working hours put into slots there is no need to refer to signing-in books, saving the administration team huge amounts of time.

The solution

How RotaOne helps care homes

  1. RotaOne for a care home: the week’s cover by role, the figures and what needs attention

    Every role covered, on every shift

    Rota planning gives easy oversight of all departmental employees, to ensure all necessary job roles are covered to provide around-the-clock care for residents.

  2. The roll call report: everyone on site, with their last swipe

    See who is in the building

    You can see who is in the building, and all of the actual swipes appear in the system. Time and attendance systems are proving indispensable in tracking the staff and visitors who have been on site at a given time.

  3. Time off requests: approved, rejected and pending

    The live rota and holiday requests, on a mobile phone

    Self-service makes a huge difference: the ability to see the live rota and manage holiday requests shows what slots are available and what needs to be filled. Being able to do that on a mobile phone makes considerable improvements to the way people work.

  4. The exceptions report: early, late and missed clockings

    Overtime, breaks, lateness, sickness and holiday in one place

    Easy management and oversight of paid and unpaid overtime, breaks, late arrivals, sickness and holiday, across every home.
