Transit Employee Attendance Management: Volume 2. Transit Attendance Management Information System

摘要

An organization's ability to manage employee attendance is determined by the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of its attendance information system. Although some systems have highly sophisticated attendance information systems, opportunities for improvements still exist. The volume presents a prototype Transit Attendance Management Information System (TAMIS). It can serve as a model for development of monitoring and reporting procedures to improve the management of employee attendance and the effects of absence. TAMIS is intended to provide a basis for consistent, comprehensive and straightforward collection, reporting and utilization of absenteeism data about individuals, groups of employees, and the entire work force of a transit system. Shortcomings in current employee attendance management practices of transit systems are identified and discussed to demonstrate the usefulness of TAMIS.
