ESP Staff Scheduling
For many years, Total Care's ESP scheduling software was the mainstream option for Canadian health organizations. ESP has worked well for many companies. However, the landscape of scheduling and reporting requirements has changed. Total Care (formerly AdOpt) has been acquired by Kronos, and organizations are re-evaluating their purchasing decisions and looking for an integrated, cost effective scheduling solution.
QHR Software's Staff Scheduling is emerging as a leader in scheduling software. QHR clients are realizing the benefits of Quadrant HR's integrated HR, Staff Scheduling and Payroll solution and are reaping the rewards.Client organizations that have switched say:
"We were very happy to implement an integrated payroll and scheduling system. Rework and error will be virtually eliminated which will save time and money. The support we have received from the QHR team has been fantastic."
Linda Laing, Manager of Human Resources and Payroll Departments at Banff Mineral Springs Hospital
"As one of the original QHR users in Alberta, we look forward to finally implementing the Scheduling module into our QHR payroll processing. We believe that we will be able to reduce the duplication that we currently have with our existing scheduling program and that we will be able to take advantage of the streamlined process."
Ray Lister, Director of HR at St. Joseph's Auxiliary Hospital
- Scheduling Flexibility - Ability to schedule by Master Rotation, Ad-hoc or a combination of both in some or all departments.
- Integration with Payroll & HR - Complete integration with Quadrant HR™ Payroll and Human Resources modules means significantly reduced configuration and time efficiencies with no imports or exports required. This includes eliminating the ongoing maintenance of positions, seniority banks, etc.
- No Timecard Imports/Exports - No time card importing or exporting required.
- No Duplication of Data - On-going table maintenance of structure of positions, earnings, banks, etc. over time is accomplished in one single database vs. a number of databases/systems therefore reducing data entry and duplication of effort as well as the decrease in error rate with multiple entry points.
- One Server, One Vendor - Users support one hardware network/server/licensing vs. two servers for scheduling, payroll and HR.
- Global Shift Definition - Shifts are defined globally and available by unit, reducing redundant shift creation.
- Global Configuration Rules - Global payroll and scheduling configuration rules means that premiums do not need to be attached to every single shift on every single rotation.
- Automated Timecard Expansion - Automated timecard expansion can be applied globally, and associated with shifts, significantly reducing data maintenance. This enables schedulers to extend a shift or change the start time with all appropriate payroll rules automatically applied: Overtime, Shift differential, Call Backs, etc. Single Source Reporting - Single source for all reporting, increasing ready access and report accuracy.
- Direct to Excel schedule print options - One click print outs directly from the schedule view right into Excel. Flexible Reporting Options - All reports can be exported into excel, PDF, HTML, etc. allowing the widest potential use of all data.
- Ease of Master Rotation Modifications - We call these "schedule templates". The use of schedule templates allows for ease of use when scheduling shift rotations and modifications to rotations can be easily made.
- One Window Scheduling - Schedulers complete tasks within one window for ease of use and reduces training costs in supplementary training.
- Enhanced Security - Enhanced security to provide greater confidence in user ability and remote users.
- Schedule views using report filters - Report filters allow you to drill down into schedule data. Want to see who was sick last month? A report filter can show you details easily. Employee Pools - Scheduling pools allow you to efficiently search for replacement staff. Shift Quotas - Define your workload requirements and monitor to ensure proper staffing levels where you need them.
- Speedy Implementation
