Planning is essential for any organisation. Labour planning is crucial to optimising use of resources and potential to fill capacity.

The annualised hours module in Tru-Time is essentially one in which employees are contracted to work a certain number of hours over a year (rather than the traditional approach of weekly hours with any excess paid as overtime). As a result of using this system, many of our customers are now enjoying the following benefits:

Matching employee deployment to varying seasonal demand.
Overtime is usually eliminated or substantially reduced helping saving the business unnecessary spend.
Promoting the use of a flexible working force.
Reduced absence.
Can help the business keep track of the time worked throughout the year by a particular employee.

Deploying Annualised hours has proven to work well if there are times of the year where work demands vary with fluctuating activity within the business.

ITS know that in order to see the full benefits of Annualised hours, a suitable set of rosters and rostering rules need to be established.

The ITS Annualised hours based review helps you to change mind sets and develop enhanced skills and performance attitude in operational managers and the workforce alike. For example your business will see:

A less confrontational, more co-operative negotiation process.
A consideration of grading, skill recognition and performance appraisal issues.
A "green-field approach" to terms and conditions - including a new "pay - working time bargain".
A re-examination of the business relevance of procedures and agreements along with their revision to ensure added vale.

Using Tru-Time, your business can plan for an increase or decrease in labour demand and thus not only make the organisation run more effectively, but also save considerable capital through reducing excess labour.
