Using foundU’s clocking software, it’s easy to keep track of your labour costs. Your team members can easily log their time and attendance via multiple options. For example, you could have the clock app loaded on an iPad at your sites or let employees clock their time on the go via the employee app with geolocation tracking enabled.

Wage costs will also be visible on your rosters, helping you make smart decisions while you're creating your schedules.

foundU's financial reporting centre

Help leaders and managers make data-driven decisions

foundU's labour management reports calculate wage costs using your roster and timesheet data, giving you breakdowns of standard and overtime hours. You can easily calculate labour costs by site, activities, and cost centres, giving management and key stakeholders a quick glimpse of your workforce no matter how many locations, franchises, or entities you manage. With time and attendance data flowing into foundU and straight through our powerful award interpretation and pay rule engine, you’ll be able to monitor your labour costs in real time and make data-driven decisions.

Live wage calculations on a roster

Schedule efficiently

When you assign shifts to your employees, foundU will reference the relevant position on their profile, award settings, and pay rates. Live wage calculations will show up on your roster, including overtime alerts so that you can make better planning decisions. Review past labour reports to plan for major seasonal events, making sure you're covered when demand peaks. Only pay for employees that are entitled to be paid in a certain time period so that you can build a pool of labour to tap into when you're busy, without increasing your costs.

Being able to set budgets and see labour costs for each store has meant we're able to better track and optimise how much we spend on wages. With multiple stores and locations, it can be difficult to clock-in/out times, breaks, and hours worked. With the foundU Clock app in every store, we can ensure that we are accurately tracking time and attendance, paying staff correctly for the hours they've worked, and keep our payroll compliant.
