As a company, you know how important it is to respect collective agreements . However, scheduling can be complex, with little or no standardized solutions adapted to the diversity of corporate agreements. Fortunately, custom software offers reliable solutions to meet these specific needs.
The 3 big challenges in business
1. Complexity of the Rules
Collective agreements are often the result of negotiations between employee representatives and employers. They contain a multitude of specific clauses and conditions for each sector and company. These rules may cover various aspects such as work schedules, breaks, paid leave, allowances, and much more. Keeping track of these requirements, especially when they differ between sectors and agreements, can become a major challenge for human resource managers. The slightest miscalculation or management error can lead to payroll errors, conflicts with employees and even fines for non-compliance.
2. Litigation Avoidance
Non-compliance with the rules set out in collective agreements can have disastrous consequences for a company. In addition to potential disputes with workers or unions, this can also result in government fines and a bad company reputation. Disputes related to hours of work, unpaid or miscalculated overtime, leave not granted in accordance with agreements can result in significant financial expenses and disrupt organizational stability. By ensuring accurate and compliant management, companies can avoid these costly disputes and maintain good relations with their staff.
3. Impacted Productivity
Inefficient scheduling can have a direct impact on business productivity. Delays, unplanned absences and scheduling conflicts can result in underutilization of human and material resources. In addition, inadequate planning can lead to situations where some employees are overworked while others are underutilized, which can affect motivation and job satisfaction. Excessive overtime, often resulting from poor scheduling, can also negatively affect the health and well-being of employees, as well as the operational costs of the company. By taking a precise and effective approach to scheduling, companies can maximize the use of their resources and improve overall productivity.
