Through the application of AI, Legion accurately forecasts demand, intelligently generates schedules, matches punches to shifts, automates timesheet creation, and keeps employees informed and engaged via its highly-rated mobile app.

One key aspect of Legion’s approach is to incorporate effective dating, a powerful tool that captures role transitions and changes in pay to create optimised budgets and schedules. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of effective dating, highlight how workforce management software utilises it to drive efficiency in scheduling and emphasise the importance of capturing role transitions and changes in pay. We’ll also showcase Legion’s unique capabilities in real-time integration with HRMS and payroll systems, AI optimisation, and accurate labour model updates.

What is Effective Dating?

Effective dating is a methodology used in workforce management software to capture and manage critical employee attributes, such as job roles, compensation, and other relevant information, over specific time periods.

Organisations can track changes, analyse trends, and make informed decisions regarding scheduling, compensation, and resource allocation by effectively dating employee attributes. It involves capturing the start and end dates associated with specific attributes, allowing for a comprehensive historical record of employee data.

How Legion Uses Effective Dating for Optimal Schedules

Legion leverages effective dating to create schedules that align seamlessly with an organisation’s operational requirements. By accurately capturing employee attributes, such as skills, job titles, wage rate, and employment status, the software intelligently matches these attributes with shift requirements and business demand.

This intelligent matching ensures that the right employees with the necessary skills are scheduled at the right times, maximising productivity and minimising labour costs.

The Importance of Capturing Role Transitions, Titles, and Changes in Pay

Accurately capturing and managing role transitions, job titles, and changes in pay is of utmost importance for several reasons. First, it ensures compliance with labour regulations and internal policies. By maintaining accurate records of job transitions, organisations can mitigate potential legal risks and foster transparency in their employment practices.

Moreover, capturing changes in pay supports fair compensation and acts as a motivator for employees. It allows organisations to align pay adjustments with job responsibilities, skills, and performance. Employees who feel fairly compensated are more likely to remain engaged and productive.

Effective dating facilitates seamless tracking and implementation of compensation changes, contributing to employee satisfaction and retention.
