Payroll Solutions helps assisted living facility eliminate scheduling conflicts, cover gaps, and elevate quality while raising worker morale.
Suncrest Assisted Living management was worrying about maintaining quality resident care because they had to address a constant cascade of scheduling changes. Every schedule change generated a stream of ineffective emails, texts, and phone calls that wasted time, confused staff members, and curtailed productivity for days at a time.
Frustrated Employees
Suncrest Assisted Living has a staff of 23 including on-site nurses and caretakers, aides, administrative staff, and housekeeping workers. A small on-site labor force means schedules aren’t very flexible and have little room to absorb change, which takes place often.
Unplanned schedule changes triggered a time-consuming process of sending emails and texts to all qualified staff members to find a replacement. Managers were often required to coordinate fractional shift changes to accommodate overlapping availabilities. The result was a domino effect that frequently caused unforeseen consequences including costly overtime and coverage gaps. The extra burden, added confusion, and personal disruption was taking a toll.

TimeSimplicity provided exactly that, with the additional power of drag-and-drop scheduling, effortless schedule change management, and worker self-help tools that empower associates to solve scheduling complications with ease.
With Workforce Management Suite, Suncrest was able to set up their scheduling in about fifteen minutes by logging each employee name, job code, and availability. Once that was done, creating worker schedules became a simple matter of drag-and-drop. Scheduling conflicts, last-minute overtime, and adequate shift coverage are no longer a hassle with built-in warnings that warn supervisors before a problem takes place.
When it comes to finding help due to schedule changes, the Suncrest team no longer goes into panic mode; employees can enter their availability to pick up hours, and trading shifts between staff members is as easy as trading cards. Managers only need to authorize swaps for stress-free schedule changes.
One of the most popular features for Suncrest is the ability to empower team members with mobile access. With the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal, team members are able to view their schedule, request time off, check accruals, and review their time cards. They no longer need to call a manager for basic information and time card accuracy has improved significantly. This is a perfect solution for a community of employees working all hours of the day and a real timesaver for supervisors.
PBJ Made Easy
All long-term care facilities are now subject to the Payroll Based Journaling (PBJ) standards. Employers are required to track daily employee shift hours by job description and site as well as staff tenure and turnover. Suncrest uses the built-in Payroll Based Journaling (PBJ) tools in Workforce Management Suite to effortlessly track the data and prepare accurate reports. Suncrest managers are sleeping better at night knowing that PBJ compliance is automated with Payroll Solutions Workforce Management Suite.
