The XYZ Company employs 643 production, maintenance, and janitorial workers in three separate departments. In addition to supervising operations, the foreman over the departments are responsible for recruiting, hiring and firing workers within their areas of responsibility. The organization attracts casual labor and experiences a 20 to 30 percent turnover rate in employees per year. Each week, the foremen gather the time cards, review them for accuracy and sign and submit them to the payroll department for processing. In addition, the foremen submit personnel action forms to reflect newly hired and terminated employees. Employees clock on and off the job each day to record their attendance on paper timecards. Each department has its own clock machine that is located in an area away from the main production area.
