Articles on Creating Shift Patterns
Many organizations have pay rates that do not coincide with shift times. This means that whenever an employee works a shift that spans 2 or more pay rates, an additional complication is introduced for all the employees during a normal working week when calculating staff pay and cash budgeting. e.g. Enhanced rates of pay for additional hours, overtime hours, evening hours or night time hours. VisualrotaX can be used for an almost infinite number of pay rate and shift overlaps. The method is simple and can be used in several ways;
ie. Do you want the costs in advance in order to authorize the hours,
ie. On-going costings as changes are made,
ie. Do you use the results to pay staff in advance
ie. Do you use the costings to bill clients
ie. Hours/costs v income analysis.
ie. Individual costs or staff category costs.
Most organizations use time sheets and manually calculate the number of hours worked at the different pay rates, normal and enhanced rates. Looking at an old NHS payslip, there seemed to be 10+ different pay rates. I don't know how long this takes to manually sort out, or how many mistakes are made along the way. Would you know for your organization. However, as we all know, if you are underpaid, compared with how much you expect to be paid, there is an incentive to delve deeper into the calculations, and if you are overpaid, compared to how much you expected to be paid, well, there is no incentive and you might just be wasting company time. It takes an enormous effort and a lot of manpower to get staff pay correct.
However, no Time & Attendance software predicts how much a new shift pattern will cost in advance so you can amend the shifts and times to minimise the cost of the operation. We can do that with VisualrotaX. If you want to know how much a new way of working will cost, there is no better tool. We can even simulate holidays and absences and their associated costs over a complete year.
