Guardian Angel Homes Gains Real-Time Control Over Workforce Management With Time America Solution
Assisted Living Care Provider Protects Against Unwanted Labor Costs with Web-Based System
Scottsdale, AZ - Guardian Angel Homes, an assisted living community that provides a wide range of care to full-time residents in Washington and Idaho, has gained substantial operational control over its labor management process with Time America.
In early 2004, Guardian Angel Homes began searching for an automated labor management system that could track real-time data for the amount of labor hours being spent at its facilities. High labor costs were a part of Guardian's business model of providing superior services and the company wanted insight as to how and where labor dollars were being spent in order to proactively modify labor management practices where needed.
Moving from a combination of magnetic card swipes and manual book-keeping, Guardian Angel Homes chose to implement NETtime®, a web-based labor management solution from Time America, to streamline processes such as employee time tracking, auditing and reporting. Using NETtime, Guardian Angel Homes' employees clock in and out on personal computers and have on-demand access to check their status in regards to sick days, overtime and benefit accruals. Management has access to real-time labor information, allowing them to produce valuable productivity reports.
Tyson Frantz, IT Operations Director, Guardian Angel Homes, explains: "With our former system, it was nearly impossible to get a real-time number on how many labor hours were being spent at the facilities because they didn't find out payroll until the books were closed. And, the data wasn't accurate, which lead to difficulties with operational effectiveness."
Now managers address inquiries with click of a button and no longer need to manually resolve inquiries about paycheck discrepancies against hours worked sick time or paid vacation logs.
Mr. Frantz notes that NETtime has effectively taken a burden off Guardian Angel Homes' management by enabling them to address and correct issues as soon as they occur. "All upper management loves it because they call pull real-time labor reports."
