PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - November 9, 2010) - CyberShift, a global provider of workforce management and expense management software and services, today shared details of how CyberShift's Workforce Management 3G™ has enabled the City of High Point, N.C., to reduce internal workforce management costs while complying with government regulations. Integrated with the City's existing payroll system, CyberShift automates absence management, employee scheduling, time and attendance and helps the City adhere to and comply with governmental wage and hour regulations. As a result, the City of High Point can better manage its diverse workforce.
CyberShift Workforce Management 3G is a 100 percent Web-based solution that has increased the efficiency and accuracy of the City's payroll and time and attendance systems by automating all wage calculations against the municipality's business rules for vacation, sick, holiday, overtime and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) work periods. Similar to other municipalities, the City of High Point has specific business rules related to employee schedules including split shifts, fixed regular hours regardless of time worked, emergency call backs and different departmental holiday policies. The CyberShift workforce management solution enables the City to easily manage its workforce of up to 1,500 employees with varying work schedules and rosters.
"We pride ourselves on providing top quality service to our residents, and wanted a sophisticated and cost effective way of managing our workforce. CyberShift's innovative Workforce Management 3G solution has enabled us to optimize our workforce," said Tom Spencer, Systems Project Administrator for the City of High Point. "As a partner, CyberShift has delivered on all of our expectations and more. Beyond providing us with a state-of-the-art technology solution, they have demonstrated a high level of commitment in helping us reach our goals to proactively manage and deploy our workforce, ensure accurate payroll information and enhance the productivity of our workforce."
CyberShift Workforce Management 3G centralizes absence related data and facilitates the ability to effectively manage policies and adhere to changing compliance requirements, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations. With the insight needed to proactively adjust workforce planning, the City is able to efficiently and effectively administer, manage and track planned and unplanned absences.
CyberShift Workforce Management 3G also has enabled the City to improve the administration of overall employee leave programs and track a shared leave plan that allows employees to donate vacation and sick leave to a coworker in need.
Robert E. Farina, CEO of CyberShift, said, "Reducing workforce-related costs and improving service to residents are key areas of focus for municipalities. Working together, we have been able to help the City of High Point address many of their unique requirements and achieve effective workforce planning goals. We are pleased to continue our work with the City of High Point in their implementation of this strategic initiative."
