The time attendance software is crucial for maintaining an up to date and accurate payroll system. The employee attendance can be broken down using analytics. This point out the loopholes and help find avenues for improving the company’s working. All in all this is an extremely efficient system in which is ideal for transforming the work environment and increasing productivity. Errors in maintaining payroll can be negated and bring down the inflationary costs which are associated with discrepancies of the manual calculations.Purchase and installationPurchasing the time attendance software from reliable and established vendors is of utmost importance. This ensures the high quality and efficiency of the system. Once the purchase is done and over with, the next step is the installation of the software on the employee computers. Mostly the installation service is provided by the vendors themselves. If you are yourself dealing with the installation it is necessary to read the instructions carefully and thoroughly. This will avoid unwarranted mistakes which can undermine the working of the procedure.Time period of trackingThe performance of the employees can be tracked for about a month in order to understand how dedicated these people are towards their job and also their attendance. This will surely give good insight into the cumulative productivity. Errant staff members can be reprimanded and those who are punctual and hard-working can be rewarded.

This is because they will know that, ‘the big boss is watching.’The selection of team leadersTeam leaders can be chosen from various departments after creating workgroups. Each team leader would be responsible for the members of their team. This will provide a direct administration to track the work progress, making the system full proof. Instead of keeping tabs on the total workforce, it is always better to relegate the responsibility on several units. These team leaders can take the responsibility of tracking productivity for their individual teams.Finding reasons for lapse in concentrationIn order to minimize the time wastage, it is necessary to understand why the employees behave as they do. What is the reason for their distraction and what are the necessary measures which can be taken in order to stop this once and for all. Technology has both positive and negative sides.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!
He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.
But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.
Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!
Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.
We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.
Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.
Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!
But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.
Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.
Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.
And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.
All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.
He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
