North Wales recruitment firm plans to more than double their roster


JVP Group, a North Wales recruitment advertising firm, has moved into new premises as part of their three-year expansion plan. 

Their unit is located at the New Vision Business Park located next to St Asaph Business Park in Denbighshire.
 
Managing director Cath Harrison said: "Our new high-tech offices and facilities will enable us to implement our ambitious plans to grow to a £2m turnover within five years, so we’re creating multiple jobs over the next three years increasing the size of the team from 9 to 20, whilst investing heavily in staff development, technology and marketing.
 
"New Vision Business Park provides the ideal work home for the JVP team, as it’s a truly vibrant hub and we’re proud to be part of such an innovative business community."
 
Economy minister Ken Skates added: "JVP have based their model on innovative ideas, and that’s exactly what I want to see more of across the Welsh economy.
 
"I always find it encouraging to hear of North Wales businesses showing a vote of confidence in the region and expanding their operations here, and JVP’s growth plan, supported by Business Wales will create high value opportunities and quality jobs for talented people in the area.
 
"Its new base at St Asaph Business Park will also ensure JVP has the best possible infrastructure in place to help it thrive, in what is a dynamic and attractive location for innovators and entrepreneurs."

Moving into a new building is the perfect time to assess your current payroll system, specifically the way that you record employee attendance and their hours worked. This is particularly relevant since the European Union Court of Justice has recently ruled that EU members should order businesses to keep records of the exact hours worked by their full-time employees, in order to fully comply with the requirements of the Working Time Regulations.
 
Many companies, even in today’s high-tech world, still use weekly paper timesheets to record employee working hours. These have more downsides than they have advantages. 
 
For example, they are very easy for an unscrupulous employee to fake. If there is no way of monitoring their attendance apart from their own self-reporting, then they can easily put in overtime or prime time shifts that they didn’t actually do. 
 
Even an honest employee could forget exact details and fudge an entry. Inaccurate working hours could put you at risk of breaching the European Working Time Regulations.
 
Another example is the incredible amount of processing time that timesheets can cost payroll staff. They need to transfer often illegible handwriting individually onto Excel spreadsheets in order to convert it into data they can deal with for payroll. One typo could completely change an employee’s payslip for that month.
