By combining feature-rich software with notification capabilities including telephony, e-mail and pager communications, TeleStaff reduces scheduling time, streamlines operations through divisions and controls costs.
“TeleStaff will impact how we work in a number of positive ways. Officers will be able to schedule vacation and compensatory days from home on the Internet, and TeleStaff will make sure any requests comply with department policy and union rules. For Supervisors, calling in employees for overtime or emergency call outs will be streamlined and automated with one request calling all available necessary personnel. On the Administration side, all overtime with premium and incentive pays will be calculated automatically. TeleStaff will interface to our payroll accounting system without the waste and time-consumption of a paper system. We look forward to a more efficient and error-reduced scheduling system with TeleStaff,” stated Public Information Officer, Greg Grannis.
