occupational long-term absence workplace sickness business WinTA Start Time and Attendance UK user-definable working patterns rosters clocking employees HR department officeA new health advice service has started to tackle occupational long-term absence, the government announced last Friday. It is part of the coalition’s response to the review of workplace sickness absence by the government’s director for health and work, Dame Carol Black, and ex-director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce, David Frost. Lord Freud, minister for welfare reform, commented: “Long-term sickness absence is a burden to business, to the taxpayer and to the thousands of people who get trapped on benefits.”

WinTA Start from Time and Attendance UK is a comprehensive attendance recording system containing user-definable working patterns, rosters and shifts. In WinTA Start a summary of clocking and absence details can be viewed at-a-glance, showing individuals or groups of employees, and an Exception view quickly identifies areas where the normal working pattern has not been followed. The HR department at your office can choose to view all types of absences, a single absence type or all types with a common category.
