Case Study: Hazekamp’s Premier Foods speeds piece rate compensation with NOVAtime Labor-Metrix

NOVAtime’s Labor-Metrix, Workforce Management / Time and Attendance Solutions Make Hazekamp’s Life Easier

Hazekamp’s Premier Foods, a fifth-generation family-owned meat processing and distribution company in Muskegon, Michigan, needed a better way to calculate piece-rate compensation for employees working overtime, where pay varies by the number of kabobs produced and by position. The company turned to NOVAtime and its Labor-Metrix workforce management and time and attendance solution to help address this challenge.

NOVAtime implemented Labor-Metrix along with NOVAtime 5000 SaaS Workforce Management and NT7000 biometric smart time clocks to improve leave management, punch monitoring, and kabob tracking. The solution helped Hazekamp’s speed up and improve the accuracy of piece-rate calculations, reduce buddy punching with fingerprint verification, and give employees self-service access to PTO and hours worked, with Julie Hazekamp noting the system has already made daily operations easier and will support better reporting for next season.
