Challenges
The company was managing labour attendance and leave, including overtime, time off, and compliance records, using time-consuming, error-prone manual methods. The HR staff applied the rules they thought were appropriate to their manual records in order to create the payroll file at the end of each month. Because accurate attendance and leave management requires a highly sophisticated knowledge of labour laws to manage diverse worker requirements, this manual approach was putting the company at risk for costly errors and compliance violations. In addition, the HR team was manually tracking a large contract labour force, which presented challenges for processing timely and accurate invoice settlements.
