iPunch cleans up on timecards
Situation

Established in 1974, Ancast is a family-owned manufacturing company located in the west-end industrial park in Winnipeg, Man. A second-generation organization, Ancast manufactures cores, mouldings and castings and is dedicated to high-quality products and customer service.

Problem

At Ancast, calculating payroll was literally a ‘dirty’ job. An old-fashioned time clock was situated in a very dusty location of the foundry. Even the timecards were covered in a layer of dust, making it a messy job to go through them to calculate employee hours. It was even more frustrating when, due to constant dust and grime, the time clock wouldn’t work and hours were simply written on the cards. It also took a lot of time to transfer information from the cards to a spreadsheet and then into the payroll system. A cleaner, more effective and efficient system was needed.

Problem

In the past, a staff person spent most of her time going through manual time sheets, calculating hours by comparing schedules to actual time worked, then tediously entering the totals into the payroll system. Dimark's payroll processing team and management team were desperate for a way of processing their payroll more quickly, efficiently and accurately.

iSchedule saves "countless" hours every week.

"The time savings are immeasurable."

Situation

Park Theatre and Movie Café, located on South Osborne Street in Winnipeg’s picturesque Riverview community, is a privately-owned, multi-purpose venue that offers a specialty coffee boutique, movie rentals and a theatre that is host to independent movie screenings, CD release parties, live acts and is available for private function bookings.

With a full complement of 10 part-time staff members, Erick Casselman, part-owner of Park Theatre, has been an IBEX iPayrollHR customer since August 2005 and in the spring of 2007 Erick upgraded to iPayrollHR/iSchedule Edition.

Problem

Previous to Erick becoming an iSchedule user, he found that getting ready to submit his payroll for processing was “chaotic” and was a task he had difficulty fitting into his schedule with the myriad other responsibilities as part-owner of a small business. He often had inaccurate reporting of hours which, understandably, frustrated his employees; was guessing the number of hours to report for each employee because he had no formal way of tracking that information; and had no way of budgeting his payroll accurately.
