How emergency services can correctly organise their workforces

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust redundancies staff levels workforce emergency services Time and Attendance North East personnel clocking Working Time Regulation audit Logs recordsThe Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust promised there would be no compulsory redundancies and staff levels would not be reduced over proposed changes to the service’s workforce. Paul Mudd, locality director for A&E operations at the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, said: “Most trusts across England have these roles [emergency care assistants] and it is tried and accepted practice.” Mr Mudd guaranteed there will be a paramedic on every vehicle and added the new five-year plan had been developed following extensive consultation.

How can Yorkshire firms and services correctly organise their workforce? Simple: by installing a Time and Attendance North East personnel and clocking system. Our network pre-warns when a supervisor is applying a shift pattern that will result in a Working Time Regulation infringement. All user activity within the system is recorded for audit purposes, with time and date transactions of information both before and after changes. Logs also maintain records of system events for fault finding and trouble shooting.
