Time Management For Petrochemical Corporations

In an uncertain market, large oil exploration and transmission companies face the need to control and reduce costs, all while maintaining the highest safety and environmental standards possible. WorkTech's time and attendance systems address one of the key issues petrochemical companies face: Managing labor costs through accurate time recording and seamless integration with enterprise systems.

Managing Labor Costs With Accurate and Efficient Labor Tracking

Oil company managers understand that labor is a significant operational cost. Using the WorkTech Time™ Suite, they are able to manage labor costs associated with every aspect of their operation. Workers take advantage of an easily customized user interface to record time spent on work orders, tasks, and projects. The flexibility of WorkTech Time allows administrators to tailor time recording screens to each worker or role, presenting just the information needed and providing shortcuts to speed the task.

Cost Savings Justify WorkTech Time

Oil company customers justify WorkTech Time through savings that include:

• Eliminating multiple systems for labor tracking. For example, workers can enter all their time and attendance data in one central system, and the appropriate, complete, and detailed data is reflected in the maintenance management system with no additional effort
• Validating data as it is entered, dramatically reducing downstream errors
• Eliminating over reporting of time

Flexibility

To be the time and attendance system of choice for utilities, WorkTech Time provides flexibility at multiple levels.

• It handles an unlimited number of the most complex business rules that can include special pay categories, shift, union, hazard pay, and temporary changes in grade
• It accepts data from multiple sources such as the Internet, gate access controls, and kiosks

WorkTech Contractor Cost Tracking System™

Developed to meet the needs of oil companies, WorkTech's Contractor Cost Tracking System (CCTS) helps management keep track of the contractors within their workforce. Contractors have direct access to a system configured to validate their contract. Contractor employees directly enter time and attendance information as well as equipment usage, equipment rentals, and materials. Contract managers can immediately review submissions, approve time entries, request clarification, or reject the submission. Real-time reporting helps supervisors uncover inefficiencies in the operation. Contractor pay becomes more accurate and timely.

Integration With Existing Systems

Integration with other corporate systems is a key element of WorkTech Time that provides data to HR, ERP, CMMS, Strategic Asset Management, and other corporate systems.
