NetSuite SuitePeople Workforce Management

NetSuite Module
NetSuite SuitePeople Workforce Management streamlines shift scheduling with visual tools showing understaffing and overstaffing, automates time and attendance through mobile app clock-in with geo-tagging and optional biometric verification, and calculates wages with built-in rules engine applying overtime and holiday pay policies integrating with SuitePeople Payroll.

Create labor deployment models forecasting staffing needs from sales and production data, track compliance with federal and state labor regulations, and enable shift swaps through employee mobile app.

When shifts still scheduled in Excel spreadsheets and employees still clock in on paper timesheets because time clock tablets never deployed, Workforce Management systemizes it.

What Is NetSuite SuitePeople Workforce Management?

  • NetSuite SuitePeople Workforce Management provides visual shift scheduling, digital time tracking, and automated wage calculation in a single system integrated with NetSuite ERP and payroll.

    Managers build schedules using labor deployment models that forecast staffing needs from sales and production data, employees clock in/out on mobile app with geo-tagging or on-site tablets with PIN and optional fingerprint verification, and wage rules engine automatically calculates regular hours, overtime, and holiday pay based on federal and state regulations.

    This eliminates manual shift scheduling in Excel spreadsheets, prevents time theft and buddy punching through biometric verification, ensures labor compliance with automated overtime calculation, and integrates time data directly with payroll without manual transfer.

How Much Does NetSuite SuitePeople Workforce Management Cost?

  • SuitePeople Workforce Management is an add-on module to NetSuite SuitePeople. But the real cost isn't the license.

    It's the manager hours manually building shift schedules in Excel every week, the payroll inflation from buddy punching when no verification controls, the overtime violations and compliance fines from miscalculated hours, and the payroll processing delays when timesheet data manually entered from paper.

Why Choose Stockton10?

Shifts still scheduled in Excel
Implemented visual scheduling tool. Managers find NetSuite scheduling slower than Excel for quick changes. Still build schedules in spreadsheet, enter to NetSuite once finalized. Scheduling tool unused. We optimize scheduling workflows.
Time clock tablets never deployed
Purchased tablets for time clock. Tablets still in boxes. Too complicated to set up. Employees still use paper timesheets. Manual entry to NetSuite weekly. We deploy and configure time clocks.
Buddy punching continues
Digital time clock without biometric verification. Employees clock in for absent coworkers. Payroll inflation from unauthorized hours. Optional fingerprint feature never enabled. We enable verification controls.
Wage rules misconfigured
