Rostering over days or weeks given the green light at an organisation

Signalling industrial strife ahead – railway signal workers are going on strike again in a dispute about shift patterns. The dispute has been running since April and signallers were taking action on Christmas Eve. Union chiefs propose that shifts be lengthened to 12 hours but that each signaller works fewer days each week. RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "This dispute has been dragging on,” adding: “Management should be in no doubt as to RMT’s determination to achieve 12-hour rosters for our members."

Rostering and other staffing issues are given the green light if your organisation implements a state of the art Time and Attendance UK clocking recording and management network. It combines the requirements of time and attendance, absence patterns, rostering and Job Costing. You can create a wide range of daily working patterns. Groups are used to define sequences of shift patterns. Rolling Groups repeat a block of shift patterns. The block can contain any number of days or weeks.
