   Profit Building with Ctuit

If you are using Ctuit's recently released labor scheduling module (or are entering your schedules directly into your POS system), be sure to take advantage of the "Actual and Scheduled Overtime Alert" widget (see image below).

 

      Actual and Scheduled Overtime Alert widget

This widget provides you and your managers a proactive view of employees that will reach overtime before the end of the week by comparing their actual hours worked along with the remaining number of hours they are scheduled for. By knowing that overtime is approaching before it happens, your managers can take steps to prevent it by choosing the optimal employees to phase off shift first, or stagger late.

 

To access the "Actual and Scheduled Overtime Alert" widget, please contact your company's RADAR administrator to configure your dashboard for you.
