Printing specialist moves into Baker’s Yard, Newcastle

Document Solutions UK, a photocopier and print specialist, has moved to new premises at Baker’s yard in Newcastle.

The Baker’s Yard development has more than 25 warehouses, and Document Solutions are the third company to take advantage of the new space on offer.

The space now occupied by Document Solutions UK use to belong to a Greggs Confectionery Store. The move has tripled Document Solutions’ operations.

“We have set ourselves ambitious financial targets and this move is designed with further growth in mind,” said David Macartney, director of Document Solutions.

“Our targets are to double our £6m turnover in the next 5 years and this new space will enable us to enhance our offering to many clients and customers.”

Moving into a new building is the perfect time to assess your current payroll system, specifically the way that you record employee attendance and their hours worked.

Many companies, even in today’s high-tech world, still use weekly paper timesheets to record employee working hours. These have more downsides than they have advantages.

For example, they are very easy for an unscrupulous employee to fake. If there is no way of monitoring their attendance apart from their own self-reporting, then they can easily put in overtime or prime time shifts that they didn’t actually do.

Even an honest employee could forget exact details and fudge an entry. Inaccurate working hours could put you at risk of breaching the European Working Time Regulations.

Another example is the incredible amount of processing time that timesheets can cost payroll staff. They need to transfer often illegible handwriting individually onto Excel spreadsheets in order to convert it into data they can deal with for payroll. One typo could completely change an employee’s payslip for that month.
