Apple Vacations

Apple Vacations needed to gain better control over labor costs, and wanted to deploy a time and labor management solution that seamlessly integrated with payroll. Apple Vacations needed to consolidate the time and payroll services provided by multiple vendors into a single-source solution. They needed to implement a time and labor management solution that offered multiple ways to accurately collect, record and calculate employee time. It was critical to Apple Vacations that the vendor they chose could manage the complexities of specific industry and multi-jurisdictional rules.

Problems
