It has been said, that change either forces us to adapt or we eventually become irrelevant. In the last 10 years, cloud-computing has fundamentally changed the way in which many businesses operate. And, while a small number continue to resist the adoption of the cloud, the majority of industries both small and large have embraced it. The ability or lack-thereof to embrace change is chronicled in five-part series titled “Twilight of the Gods” The history of the recording industry. For music purists this series, this recording couldn’t come at a better time. However, at the core of this story change is over arching theme.

The creator of this five-part series, Robert Harris, also penned an article on the National Post that reads, in part; “I’ve spent the past three years of my life immersed in the past and present of the great record companies of the world, producing a series of radio documentaries currently airing on CBC Radio. The title I chose for the series, Twilight of the Gods, sums up my basic thesis — that the great record companies that “bestrode their world like a Colossus” for a century are fading away, done in by a technological revolution they couldn’t anticipate and by their response to that revolution, which was, at least initially, a defensive reaction that won them more enemies than friends.”

Similar to the change that has permeated the recording industry, the business world has seen a major shift in the way software is obtained and deployed.

The Powerful Forces Of Change

A recent article published by CBC Canada flashed over the web with this eye popping title “Unpaid overtime a growing legal liability.” Overtime has been a hot button issue for some organizations for many years now. In fact, many companies have outdated system from which to capture employee hours, track vacation and statutory holidays.

An excerpt from the CBC.ca article reads, in part, “Mobile technology has helped employers squeeze more productivity out of their employees, but all those hours of work while technically off the clock leaves them open to lawsuits over unpaid overtime, experts warn.

Overtime pay is governed by different standards acrossCanada. InOntario, for example, it must be paid for any work in excess of 44 hours per week. There are exceptions for managerial roles and those in professions like medicine, the law and accounting, but for the most part, employees are legally entitled to excess pay for excess work. 

So, the question remains, can employers track employee time through the mobile phones and avoid overtime issues? The answer is yes. ATS employee time management solution tracks employee hours, benefit accruals and statutory holidays on their mobile device. This eliminates overpayments due to improper time reporting. Beyond simply tracking time accurately, organizational knowledge of employee location provides real-time operational gains.

ATS time and attendance for mobile helps employees view their schedules, request days off and send messages to their supervisors all in real-time. By give employees the autonomy view their schedules, request time off and broadcast their availability to their managers and peers, they are more productive, more reliable and more efficient. The end result, managers can use the business intelligence tools to get updates on who is approaching overtime before it happens.
