Got part filled bins at the end of the day?
It is particularly important with the recent changes to the Australian Horticulture Award that quantities are accurately recorded and there maybe times where you need to record a partially filled container. This enables you to pay your piece workers accurately – for their sake, and yours.
For example, a worker has picked a quarter of a bin and it’s knock off time. The bin is left in the field and will be filled up tomorrow. If you don’t record this you risk an unnecessary minimum wage top up as the worker’s productivity is falsely lowered. And they need to be paid for the work done.
The problem is having to know tomorrow what was recorded today – was it a quarter, 0.2, a third? We have a solution….
App setting
Enable this functionality in the App Settings – this is a one-off step.
Tap the cog icon on the right of the blue main Menu banner.
Tap Picking Settings and turn on the
toggle.
Today
Enter Pick Data and enter the Qty of the part filled container as a number between zero and one.
Upload Data as usual.
Tomorrow
Download Settings at the start of the day. This will load any part containers that were recorded up to three days ago on any device and have been previously uploaded to the website.
Scan the same container and the Qty will be auto-populated with the remaining amount. This way you do not need to know accurately what volume was recorded in the first instance. The worker(s) can be the same or different.
