Grocery store ownership change in Chicago means more employee tracking needed
With a grocery chain leaving the Chicago market and a competitor buying some of the soon-to-be-gone company's former locations, accurate time and attendance software will be at a premium.
The new business taking over many of the supermarkets in transition is planning to increase staffing levels, according to Crain's Chicago Business. That rise in labor comes despite a partial acquisition of the departed company's stores. The new company wants a higher level of customer service, which means more employees.
An article in The Chicago Sun Times said that 5,000 new employees will be hired for positions in 11 purchased locations and five under construction. Unfortunately, employees of the exiting chain will lose their jobs, receive severance compensation and then be able to apply for some of those new jobs. The hiring likely won't end there, however. The growing chain's CEO said he believes the Chicago market can support up to 50 of his stores.
With the sheer amount of employees being brought in to the rebranded and remodeled stores, options like fingerprint time clocks ensure accurate record-keeping and quick access for a large amount of employees.
