Time and attendance recording system saves on wage costs

Portsmouth FC have survived a High Court challenge from the taxman that could have resulted in the club facing liquidation. Pompey were docked nine points for becoming the first Premier League club to go into administration and were relegated to the Championship at the end of last season. Gregory Mitchell QC, for HM Revenue & Customs, described the club as "much-loved with a long, proud history going back to 1898,” adding: "Its existence is threatened because it has for some years spent well beyond its means."

The club allowed its budget, particularly wage costs, to run out of control – but Time and Attendance Southern’s smart card clocking system provides a solution to this issue. It is an all-in-one time and attendance recording system with job booking, job costing and labour hours analysis. It exports to payroll, linking to Sage, Unipay, and other payroll systems. Comprehensive user-definable working patterns, rosters and shifts will increase efficiency and savings, while helpdesk support is available via email, telephone, or website. The software has a standard Explorer™ style interface.
