Timesheet/Farm Labour

Staff labour costs are a huge factor in production of fresh fruit and vegetables regardless of the environment or region. Using the ProducePak V5.0 Timesheets Module, staff labour is accurately tracked, easily and rapidly recorded, and is attributed to the relevant crop/block cost centre for later profit and staff performance analysis.

Staff Accountability

The ProducePak timesheet module provides management of staff tasks using a detailed timesheet recording process; whilst the process can be detailed, you can optionally choose only to record summary level information to minimise data entry. Timesheet records record information for an employee activity such as:
• employee name
• time started
• time completed
• break times
• vehicle usage
• crop / block (cost centre)
• activity/task

If multiple farms are being used for Timesheet tasks, the farm can easily be determined by the crop upon which the tasks were performed. Current users of Timesheets are using the output data to benchmark production costs, the benchmarks are then used to set production goals and staff are rewarded with bonuses for exemplary performance. This facility has provided users of ProducePak with quantifiable data which was not previously available.

Determine Activity Costs
By keeping timesheet records for staff tasks, it is possible to produce reports which can determine labour costs for particular crops broken down by activity. For example, you could determine the individual costs for Crop Preparation, Planting, and Picking for any chosen crop.


Payroll
The information recorded from timesheets can be used to produce reports which consist of payroll information or you can export payroll information from ProducePak to your chosen financial or payroll package.

Timesheet Equipment Use
When used in conjunction with Equipment Module, Timesheets can record the usage of equipment, and the respective crop the equipment is used on. This can be used to attribute a proportion of the running costs to the production costs for the Crop.

Rapid Entry
To allow rapid entry of timesheet information, ProducePak contains various bulk entry facilities which allow you to enter timesheet information for 20 people in only a few seconds.
