CyberShift Releases New White Paper on Improving Productivity, Mitigating Risk by Automating Absence Management

PARSIPPANY, NJ, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
CyberShift, a global provider of workforce management and expense
management software and services, today announced the availability of its
newest white paper titled "Time is Money: How Organizations Can
Effectively Monitor and Manage Absences to Improve Productivity and
Mitigate Risk." The paper shares insight on how automating absence
management can help organizations better manage employee absences,
thereby improving efficiencies, reducing operating costs and mitigating
risks.

All organizations must deal with worker absences, whether planned or
unplanned. In today's economy, with fewer resources available, absences
have an even more profound impact on productivity. By utilizing an
automated workforce management solution with absence management
capabilities, organizations can analyze data and identify frequencies or
patterns of absences, determine why absences are happening, and
proactively optimize scheduling.

"Employee absences cost organizations money in direct payroll expenses as
well as lower productivity and diminished morale. By automating the
tracking of absence occurrences, employers are better equipped to
proactively ensure the right people are at the right job at the right
time. In certain vertical markets such as retail and healthcare, proper
scheduling and absence management means customer expectations and patient
needs can be met," commented Morne Swart, vice president of Product
Management at CyberShift.

Automating absence management can also ensure better compliance with a
multitude of federal, state and local regulations, union rules and company
guidelines.

"The time and money cost savings associated with properly administering
FMLA and other rules and regulations is a benefit to most organizations. A
workforce management system, like CyberShift's Workforce Management
3G(TM) suite, can track multiple types of leave, centralize
absence-related data and help employers to manage policies and
effectively comply with laws and regulations," Swart said.

CyberShift's Web-based Workforce Management 3G rules-based platform
delivers fully integrated solutions for all aspects of workforce
management. Its time and attendance feature reduces costs and lost
productivity by managing time, absences, leave balances and automation of
all pay and work rules. CyberShift's absence management capabilities
include complete management, tracking, schedule adjustment and
disciplinary actions associated with absenteeism.

CyberShift's new white paper also examines how, if not managed correctly,
employee absences can create benefits calculation errors that, more often
than not, do not favor the employer. For example, many employee benefits
programs are based on the number of hours worked, not including sick time
hours. An employee on unpaid leave may not continue to accrue sick pay or
vacation time. By automating the tracking of absences, employers can
reduce errors in benefits calculations, ensuring that the employee
receives the correct benefits and that the employer funds what is
necessary.
