Dallas, May 22, 2012 - UniFocus is pleased to announce that it is in the final testing phase for Mobile Applications that will provide instant benefits for both managers and employees using its industry-leading Watson, R.M.™ Time and Attendance (T&A) system.
“We’re excited, and more importantly, our customers are excited about the positive changes our Mobile Applications bring to Time and Attendance,” said Mark Heymann, President and CEO of UniFocus. “The most compelling aspect is that the Mobile Applications allow managers to remain where they are most valuable, on the floor interacting with employees and customers, rather than sitting in the office working on a computer.”
The easy-to-use Time and Attendance Mobile Applications are designed as a powerful, functional tool to help managers and employees communicate more effectively and efficiently. Managers can instantly see any staff scheduled, late employees, call-ins, who’s coming in soon, who’s late to clock out, who’s in but not scheduled, who’s in or approaching overtime, approaching breaks and more.
“Employees gain the unique ability of being able to view schedules, submit time off requests and swap, drop or accept shifts quickly, with just the touch of a button,” said Heymann. “Similarly, managers are provided with a tool that allows them to quickly send blast messages to groups of employees requesting shift coverage if there are call-ins or other unexpected circumstances.
“This launch of our Mobile Applications is just a first step in the evolution of labor management — additional solutions that get managers away from the computer and provide real-time information designed to assist operations and improve business results are in the works,” continued Heymann.
UniFocus’ Time and Attendance is the industry standard for many hospitality organizations and brands. Real-time punch control and reporting, along with touch screen smart clocks eliminate issues such as the California meal break penalty. UniFocus T&A is more than a time and attendance system — it is an employee relationship system — with its online portal offering unparalleled communication opportunity between management and staff.
In addition to the Mobile Applications for employees and management using Time and Attendance, hotel patrons are able to respond to UniFocus’ GUESTScope™ Survey Solutions on tablets and mobile devices.
