The plans come as part of the borough council’s £4.3m investment into the redevelopment of the 440-acre park.

 

Clive English, chair of Maidstone Borough Council’s planning committee, said: "These great new facilities with increased energy efficiency measures, will include new toilets, a ‘changing places’ room as well as a flexible space which will be available all year round for local schools and community groups.

 

"Improved landscaping and new surfacing will link the new facilities to the car park, where increased bicycle parking will also be provided.

 

"The existing café, toilet block and estates office will be demolished and new steps down towards the lake will open up the view of the lake."

Many cafes (and retail shops in general) still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets stating their hours worked. Not only does this run the risk of being inaccurate thanks to employees’ forgetfulness, or worse, malice, but it can be a massive drain on your payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

 

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South East would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably, and a brand new building is the perfect time and place to implement it! 

 

For example, managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system. 

 

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands). This data is collected in our WinTA.NET software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.
