Specialist cleaning business set to go on a recruitment drive

Time and attendance systems are a must for any company planning to go on a significant recruitment drive, which is exactly the case with specialist cleaning operation Mrs Buckét, who is targeting further growth and turnover of more than £4m after unveiling the 35th new client contract to be signed in the past 12 months.

Working across 11 sites along the M4 corridor, Mrs Buckét will deliver regular contract cleaning services including internal and external cleaning and disinfection, a recent news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

Despite the pandemic, Mrs Buckét secured a £2.9m turnover in 2020, with a forecasted turnover of £4.2m for 2021. The company’s headcount meanwhile has grown by 25 per cent, with ongoing plans to employ more specialist cleaners and supervisors.

Mrs Buckét chief executive Rachael Flanagan added: “The pandemic has changed the way many businesses think about cleaning and cleaners. The service is no longer a luxury, but a key cog in keeping businesses running – especially during the current crisis.”

Time and Attendance Wales – Your Workforce Management Experts

Additional workforce is a sign of success and growth for all businesses, but it can cause problems for HR, accounts and admin job tasks if not managed properly. For example, if your company still uses paper timesheets filled in weekly or monthly to work out attendance and wages, a sudden influx of more staff can add hours to a workload.

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South West would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

For example, managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands). This data is collected in our time and attendance software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.

Another useful function of our time and attendance system is an automated fire roll call. Currently you might be reading names with difficulty from a handwritten sign in sheet, which can be misplaced. With our system you can be hooked up to your fire alarm. When it goes off it will automatically print a list of everyone who is currently clocked into the building.
