Higher education institutions and
school districts are faced with a critical challenge: the need to
maximize operational efficiency in order to counter the effects of
severe budget cutbacks.
Yet the demands put upon schools are
dramatically increasing. A recent study noted total U.S. public and
private elementary and secondary school enrollment has topped 54
million, plus an additional 5.9 million full-time-equivalent teachers,
administrators and staff. Growth in enrollment continues. Rising
immigration and the baby boom echo are expected to boost national K–12
enrollment another five percent by the year 2013.
The Search Is On
As public and private educational institutions continue to slash
personnel and programs to balance strict funding reductions, the search
is on to find effective ways to control costs.
For many elementary, secondary and
higher education institutions, InfoTronics offers an effective way to
reduce wasted effort and costs associated with assembling payroll data.
Attendance Enterprise automates the
manual, error-prone processes that typically burden educational
institutions and school districts—taking the cost out of tracking
employee time and attendance data.
Outstanding Functionality
In numerous installations around the country, Attendance Enterprise
gives educators web-based time and attendance features with useful
functionality such as full compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act
and support for multiple job positions.
School districts and educational
institutions benefit from multiple data collection methods and a
flexible rules engine to calculate accruals, overtime, shift pay, and
other union-mandated rules.
A Unique Fit for a Complex Work
Force
Educators are faced with a diverse and widespread work force. In many
school districts around the country professional, maintenance, student
and technical employees are subject to complex labor agreements from
multiple unions.
Attendance Enterprise easily handles
scheduling, data collection, reporting and time-card calculations for
transportation, food services, maintenance, teachers’ unions, and
administrative employees.
Employee Self Service
Employee Self Service empowers workers with real-time access to their
own personnel information (holiday, overtime, flextime balances).
Administrators have seen a reduction in the number of routine queries to
the HR department by allowing employees to access their own information.
Ease of Installation,
Integration
Installing Attendance Enterprise does not burden education IT resources.
Attendance Enterprise rolls out quickly and easily through centralized
distribution, a flexible backend database solution, and an intuitive
interface.
In this environment, system integration
is key. School district payroll and HR departments streamline their
processing with Attendance Enterprise, as it seamlessly integrates with
existing HR software. |
