The Regard Partnership
Implements
time@work
The Regard Partnership Limited, a
provider of Registered Residential Care and Supported Living
services, has selected time@work - project accounting and
project management software – to eliminate manual time sheets
across the organisation and to improve the processing of
payroll.
Michael Hawkes, Finance Director of The Regard Partnership
Limited, states, “Our aim when considering implementing project
accounting and management software was to make the payroll
process more efficient. Our Care Home managers, who are
responsible for completing staff timesheets, have previously
spent hours filling in reams of paper and we needed this
software to reduce the time spent on administration.”
time@work is designed to provide organisations with the tools,
management information and processes needed to run a successful,
efficient and profitable business. It provides rich analysis and
flexibility and enables efficiencies within an organisation by
integrating Time Recording, Expense Management, Billing and
other, critical business applications.
Hawkes adds, “Previously, we had been using manual, paper-based
time sheets and faxes. This proved to be an inefficient way of
capturing time for our employees as we have hundreds of members
of staff located in homes all over England and Wales. time@work
has improved the speed of the payment process, has increased
accuracy and eliminated the duplication of information. When
using a manual system the time it took to process payments was
significantly longer due to staff having to re-input information
into a number of places. The time@work platform enables The
Regard Partnership to improve efficiencies of the payroll
process as a whole.”
The Regard Partnership Limited is a leading provider of
Registered Residential Care and Supported Living (including
Domiciliary Care) services for a wide range of children and
adults with complex needs. Their services for Adults focus on
meeting the needs of people with Learning Disabilities, Enduring
Mental Health problems or an Acquired Brain Injury. In relation
to Children they provide specialist Residential Care Homes for
children with Learning Disabilities as well as Care Home
provision with a 52 week residential school service for children
who experience emotional and behavioural disorders.
Hawkes concludes, “We needed a system that had a simple
interface and was very easy for our staff to use. The feedback
from our Care Home mangers has been extremely positive. The
automation of the process means that everything can be done
through a browser and information can be sent to head office at
the click of a button.”
Michael Sheehan, managing director of systems@work, said, “The
Regard Partnership was experiencing a common problem that is
rife in many organisations – inefficient time recording. By
implementing time@work the company’s payroll will become more
accurate and staff resources can be managed more efficiently.”
