Pacific Timesheet Announces Shift Differential Enhancements
Las Vegas, NV — February 8, 2010 — Pacific Timesheet has announced significant enhancements to its time and attendance support for shift differential regular time, shift differential overtime and shift differential double time rules.
Many union contracts and more complicated work rules require, in addition to shift differential rates or payment amounts, that workers are paid certain separate regular, overtime or double time rates for shift work. In addition, shift differential rules can require configurable definitions of which shift hours are included in these calculations, such as starting before a shift, during a shift, or the entire shift. Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software handles this support while providing seamless integration with more than 250 payrolls, accounting and ERP systems. Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software also supports an unlimited number complex shifts for any day, combinations or days and hours.
Jim Dickerson, VP of Operations stated, "Many of our customers require flexibility in shift differential software to support highly complex work and pay rules. Pacific Timesheet's highly configurable shift differential support allows for multiple shift rules, shift premiums and shift schedules."
Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software allows customers to track time and attendance and time off by job. With a variety of rules exceptions, such as including holidays in overtime calculations, for support for meal penalties and split shift differentials, Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software allow employers to track any kind of work rules and policies. Dickerson continued, “Pacific Timesheet's shift differential support provides the same ease of use and administration as our other enterprise class features. As well, our customers continue to work closely with us on our product road map to ensure the product continues to meet increasingly complex labor rules while retaining its core flexibility.”

Was there any private sector railroads more successful than the Union Pacific?
Current day railroads are obviously more successful but I was wondering about the late 1800's in particular.
There are many.
During the 1800's UP was not a very large system. But it was progressive. UP railroad has a long & rich history worth discovering.
The Reading Railroad has a great history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Company
Quoted from site:
"after World War II it was one of the most prosperous corporations in the United States."

The 'transcontinental railroad' connection between Central Pacific & Union Pacific is of monumental recognition. Completing the connection across the continental divide across 'The Rockies' was no small task & took enormous human effort & engineering skill.
Union Pacific's recognition now is not all that great. Some of their past business tactics leave a real bad taste when looked at closely. Their business ethic regarding employees isn't all that impressive either. The 'shareholders' have made the UP a big devouring monster.
Some of the Railroad Company's they 'absorbed' were much better operations.
As far as current history goes, KCS is a excellent example of a railroad pushing its limits and going for entire North American continent.

And Union Pacific's arch rival BNSF:

Quoted from site: "more intermodal freight traffic than any other rail system in the world"

Union Pacific is fine & dandy. But, there is a world of competition continually at work, and don't have to brag about it.
