Thus, for a total of approximately 450 employees, the payroll process became more efficient by creating rule exceptions and reducing costs associated with improperly distributed work to a smaller or bigger number of employees than necessary..
In this particular case, after analyzing the specific business needs, several profiles have been created each one associated with a set of specific rules: Normal, Front Office, Manufacture and so on.

- The Front Office Profile includes staff from Front Office and Call Center for whom the work schedule is 8 hours a day, but with the opportunity to work on Saturdays and Sundays and to take rest days on normal working days. For hours worked on Saturdays and Sundays there is a bonus.
- The Manufacture Profile includes employees working in shifts of 12 hours from Monday to Sunday. There is a bonus for night hours and non-working day activity.
