We came across a wonderful article by Frances Burks titled “Disadvantage of Overtime Work” and the issues associated with this phenomenon including: health problems, employee performance and the financial drawback.
In recent years, a wave of lawsuits have uncovered the fact that some employers did not have an effective tool to track and control employee overtime and other pay premiums. While there are some similarities with how overtime is paid in some jurisdictions, others vary significantly. These overtime class action suits demonstrate the need for workplace compliance.
The easiest way to improve compliance and protect your organization from wage and hour lawsuits is to implement the ATS time and attendance system. The ATS time and attendance will help your organization:
- Apply multijurisdictional pay and work policies
- Track, manage and pay daily, weekly and bi-weekly overtime, premiums, call- ins and collective bargaining agreement overtime pay
- Provide accurate audit trails and records of hours worked in the event of wage and hour disputes
- Automate employee pay and rate changes mandated by complex collective bargaining agreements
- Ensure compliance with provincial, federal and state regulations such as FMLA and FLSA
- Generate reports for wage and hour claims, wrongful termination litigation, and other legal inquiries
- Provide audit trails and accurate records of hours worked in the event of a wage and hour audit
The ATS time and attendance system rules engine has enhanced flexibility that can determine specific types of pay. The system optimizes employee resources and reduces labour costs with employee scheduling, labour forecasting and benefit accruals. Our system helps you gain insight into the labour activities and achieve bottom-line results.
