These
reports can be as single as departmental reports that keep records of
the number of hour worked, amount of production, rate of absenteeism,
rate of turnover and length of breaks etc.

purchase or the staffing of salespersons to cover peak consumer traffic.
If managers get these reports available in time, they can fix the
amount for paying each worker or employee has earned, the cost of
production for an item etc.
