Lambeth Council - Absence Monitoring

Lambeth Council - Sickness & Absence Monitoring system
Lambeth Council were looking to simplify the way staff sickness was reported to the payroll department, and for the payroll department to make more readily available the information that they had recorded within their Cyborg Payroll System.

This new system was designed to run upon Lambeth Council's Intranet - allowing managers to record staff absence and to view various summary reports that were being produced by the Payroll department as web pages.  They have standardised their desktop with the Internet Explorer browser so this was exploited using javascript.  It incorporates links to other Sickness Absence & HR online PDF documents, the HR website, and the boroughs on-line phone directory.

Data extracted from the Cyborg legecy system was parsed and converted into ascii text files in the PICK operating system style for speed purposes. The end user NT logon is included in the HTTP header so this was exploited to provide personalised menus and reports. Javascript was exploited by using 'datapicker' and 'drop menu' scripts.

Discrepency reports generated by the 5 Cyborg parser scripts were automatically emailed to the Payroll department using the Sendmime program.
