Employee Administration for Manufacturing

Records, attendance, leave and the day-to-day HR that must simply work.

What this looks like in manufacturing

The parts of employee administration that are specific to this sector, rather than general.

Shift, Roster and Overtime

The roster is the plant's real HR system.

What this covers
  • Shift patterns
  • Rotation rules
  • Weekly offs
  • Continuous-process coverage
  • Relief and standby
  • Shift swaps
  • Overtime sanction
  • Compensatory off
  • Night-shift rules
  • Holiday working
  1. Roster plan
  2. Approval
  3. Publish
  4. Change control
  5. Attendance
  6. Overtime sanction
  7. Payroll input

Attendance and Gate Records

One number for the month, not three.

What this covers

Payroll week in a plant usually starts with reconciling a biometric export, a gate register and a supervisor's word. Those three should not be able to disagree.

  • Attendance rules
  • Gate entry and exit
  • Biometric and card integration
  • Missed punch regularisation
  • Late and early marking
  • Absenteeism tracking
  • Leave types and balances
  • Leave replacement
  • Attendance cut-off
  • Monthly close

The general method — what employee administration covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the employee information management page. What is above is the part that differs for manufacturing.

Where to start

Most engagements begin with a review of how this runs in your business today, then a written process and the sequence to implement it.
