Time and attendance software allows four different pay bands in each shift

Member of Parliament for Arundel and South Downs, Nick Herbert has registered his concerns about the proposal to close Findon and Keymer Fire Stations (two stations in his constituency) which forms part of the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS) Draft Action Plan for 2011-12. The WSFRS published the Plan with a view to reorganising fire services in the county and save £1.2 million. Mr Herbert said he had worries about “risk to life and property”.

Branches of the public services facing job losses and reduced budgets like the firefighters would benefit from an efficiency-promoting Time and Attendance Southern WinTA system. The WinTA Start software has security profiles and passwords which limit users to specific areas of the software. You can create a wide range of daily working patterns (shifts), with either fixed or flexitime rules, a feature that is ideal for professions like firefighters who work all manner of patterns. These can run past midnight, making night shifts simple to define. Overtime is easily monitored with up to four different pay bands in each shift.
