Capturing employee sign off not allowed

[Matt's Quality Handle]

Is it the periods of time worked that is considered private? It seems absurd to not be allowed to document that someone actually attested to doing assigned work at a specific time. In the USA, we'd consider this a field that was ripe for "now show" jobs. If no one is signing off on the release of materials, how would anyone know that there was an authorization, or that it was made by a qualified individual.

My highly speculative reading is that the electronic system can track when the final inspector was logged into, and then ultimately signed off on release. Unions can be sensitive about timing individual employees at individual tasks, and that may be the area of contention or what is specified by law.

That comes into conflict with how the software used for product flow can be configured. I would theorize that there's not granularity on the tracking aspect, just an on/off switch. So if it's on, you'll get individual names with times. If it's switched off, you get neither names nor times.

So the crux of the dilemma is this: Per ISO you need the names, but per the laws and/or agreement with the union, you're not allowed to capture the times. The software doesn't allow one without the other.

But then, Matt, the manufacturer needs a different software, otherwise he does not have any valid documents.
Or, god beware, the employees have to sign off by hand
