WinTA software allows multiple shift patterns per day to be set up

Burton’s Foods will consult with seventy employees at its factory in Llantarnam, Cwmbran. The firm put the redundancies down to cost cutting and called the job losses "deeply regrettable". It said it had to respond to an increasingly challenging and competitive environment by reducing costs and increasing productivity. The job losses at the Llantarnam site are part of a new flexible working approach at its manufacturing sites, it said. Chief executive Ben Clarke added: "Today’s announcements recognise the need to transform our supply chain."

Beginning with systems such as WinTA Start, Time and Attendance Wales is tops for job rostering and wages technology. The WinTA software has a familiar Windows™ interface, providing quick and easy access to information. Groups are used to define sequences of shift patterns. Rolling Groups repeat a block of shift patterns. The block can contain any number of days or weeks. AutoSelect Groups have multiple shift patterns available per day. Here, WinTA will select the most appropriate shift depending on when an employee starts work.
