How TimeOff.Management Streamlined Overtime Tracking for Precision Mechanics Ltd.
Precision Mechanics Ltd., a Manchester-based company with 100 employees working across various sites throughout the UK, faced significant challenges in managing overtime and time off.
The Challenge:
Managing Overtime Was Chaotic and Inefficient
To meet tight project deadlines, employees often worked overtime on weekends or bank holidays. However, the process of recording and managing this overtime was disorganized and time-consuming.
“Employees would send emails or messages about working overtime, and it was up to us to track it all manually,” explains Sarah Thompson, HR Manager at Precision Mechanics. “We had to approve the overtime, add it to their allowance, and hope we didn’t miss anything. It was exhausting, and mistakes happened far too often.”
This manual process often led to overtime days being lost or incorrectly recorded, leaving employees frustrated and the HR team overwhelmed.
The Solution:
Automation and Transparency
Sarah and her team began searching for a solution to streamline their process and discovered TimeOff.Management. With its self-service capabilities and automation, it was the perfect fit for their needs.
Simplified Overtime Booking
TimeOff.Management introduced a straightforward process for managing overtime:
- Employees can now book overtime directly through their mobile devices.
- Once approved, the system automatically updates their holiday allowance to include the equivalent number of overtime days worked.
“Now, everything is centralized and automated,” says Sarah. “It’s so much easier to track overtime, and there’s no room for errors.”
Real-Time Approvals and Updates
Managers receive instant notifications of overtime requests, allowing them to approve or decline with a single click. Employees can then see their updated allowance in real time, eliminating confusion and ensuring transparency.
Access from Anywhere
With employees spread across multiple sites, communication was often delayed or mismanaged. TimeOff.Management’s mobile-friendly interface allows employees to submit and manage their overtime requests from anywhere, ensuring smooth operations even in remote locations.
The Results: A Clearer, Stress-Free Process
Since adopting TimeOff.Management, Precision Mechanics Ltd. has dramatically improved how it handles overtime. The automated system has saved hours of admin time and significantly reduced errors.
