Labor Time Collection
Expandable’s LABOR TIME COLLECTION system streamlines the capture of employee utilization data to provide visibility of labor distribution and promote efficient production.
The system provides employee Clock In/Clock Out scanning via ID badge barcode or keyboard entry, and captures deployment information as workers sign in and out of specific Jobs.
User-definable Reason Codes help manage exceptions, and workers can input the number of pieces completed during the time spent on a Job. Employees are allowed to log into multiple Jobs at one time.
The administrative function allows a manager to clock an employee in or out at the proper time or end work on a job they forgot to enter.
