Managing a workforce of over 2,000 employees and 35 sites is no small task. When many of these employees must also be paid according to the Davis Bacon Act, the workload can become even more daunting. In order to meet the special requirements of this government regulation for some projects and the Service Contract Act for others, J&J Maintenance turned to TimeCentre as its solution of choice.
The Davis Bacon Act requires that employees under federally funded construction contracts earn a certain wage, fringe benefits and be paid weekly. This means that hourly data for Davis Bacon Projects must be extracted and reports must be sent to the contracting agency on a weekly basis.
The complications come in when you have employees who work under Davis Bacon Projects as well as under the Service Contract Act (SCA). This process must be integrated with the SCA requirements for reports and payroll on a semi-monthly basis. In addition, the appropriate wage must be applied to hours worked on each type of project.
In order to meet the requirements of both of these regulations, a highly robust time and attendance solution was needed. The various business rules that J&J Maintenance must abide by are strictly regulated, and so they needed a system that was flexible enough to handle all of these situations. For these reasons, J&J Maintenance sought TimeCentre as its solution provider for their workforce management needs.
The TimeCentre implementation team knows that the success of any given project is reliant upon a number of variables, including the delivery of quality solutions in a timely manner. One of the TimeCentre beliefs is that implementation of our solution should not create headaches for customers; and the changeover should positively affect the organization right from the start. Kyle Henson, operations manager for J&J Maintenance comments, “TimeCentre’s implementation team has configured the payroll interface and helped us adapt their solution to meet some of our unique requirements. They are always quick to respond and have consistently delivered on time.”
If there are unforeseen issues, TimeCentre prides itself on remedying the situation immediately. “TimeCentre’s technical support team has been a great resource to call upon when troubleshooting hardware problems. Fortunately we have had very few of these, but when they have appeared, they have been quick to identify and see them through to resolution,” Mr. Henson remarked.
The TimeCentre Team continues to exceed expectations by providing service second to none by streamlining the collection of complicated time and attendance data and integrating it with payroll processing. According to Mr. Henson, “TimeCentre’s commitment to customer service is a quality that sets it apart from the rest and is evident by speaking to anyone within the organization.”
Most growing businesses, especially those with government contracts, have complicated rules and regulations that require a very flexible and robust time and attendance system. This is why organizations like J&J Maintenance turn to TimeCentre as the solution of choice.
