The company will be moving premises too, into a site at the Mamhilad Park Estate. Its current workforce is 80 strong, and this is intended to increase to 120 across a range of specialities. The new premises have space for up to 160. 

 

Quote Detective chief executive David Harlow said: "We’re very pleased with how we have been able to move into this refurbished space to centralise our entire team in one location. The space at Cwmbran house, which is light, airy and spacious, has been created to meet our precise specification and design.

 

"Johnsey Estates have bent over backwards to accommodate our requirements. When we first moved in Mamhilad Park Estate we had just 12 people and as we have grown and have taken on additional staff, so our needs have been accommodated by the landlord.

 

"We’ve built up an understanding with Johnsey Estates over the time we’ve been here; they know where we’re going in terms of the business and what we want and consistently deliver on our requirements.

 

"Mamhilad Park Estate is a good fit for us as there is a good local talent pool, it is easy to get to, and it is well maintained.

 

"With our move and expansion we are now looking for people in sales, customer services, compliance, accounts and IT programming. We need to recruit all three disciplines and no previous experience is required for many positions. We provide comprehensive training and promote future managers from within."

An area which is often overlooked as companies expand and grow is how they measure their time and attendance. This is particularly important if they are also recruiting new staff, since this puts more strain on existing processes.

 

The least effective form of time and attendance management is still practiced by hundreds of companies all over the country – the self-reporting paper timesheet.

 

Inexact, or worse, falsified recording of hours can lead to potential infringements of the Working Time Directive, amongst other issues like tax discrepancies due to incorrect payslips. 

 

The next stage of timesheet processing is that somebody needs to collect all of those individual timesheets and enter all that data number by number into a spreadsheet in order to send it to the payroll software. 

 

There are a number of workarounds to these problems. The best solution is to centralise and automate both those parts of the process. With our clocking stations and top-quality time and attendance software, we can do exactly this. 

 

Employees no longer have to spend time and energy filling in the forms, because all they need to do is just clock in or out using their smartcards or fingerprints. The process is over in less than a second, and the data is then automatically sent to the central database. 

 

Payroll staff no longer need to squint at bad handwriting and hope that this number is a 7, not a 1, because the collected data can be exported quickly and easily, in a format suitable for all the leading payroll programs.
