Even though Workforce Management Suite is very affordable, some employers still aren’t convinced that it’s worth it and hang onto pen and paper time and attendance systems. Today’s article is addressed to employers who are using manual Workforce Management procedures because they don’t believe that investing in an automated system will yield a meaningful ROI.
Here are 3 important ways Workforce Management Suite helps organizations rein in labor expenses:
Employee Time Theft
If you haven’t caught any of your employees fudging on their time cards—it’s only a matter of time (pun definitely intended). In a survey of over 500 retail and service industry personnel, over 30 percent admitted to blatant time theft.1 The two types they referred to specifically are buddy punching and recording erroneous start and end times.
Buddy punching, recording incorrect start times, and early punch-ins and late punch-outs result in an average of 4.5 fraudulent hours per week, per employee. For one worker working at $10 per hour, that can be a loss of $45 per week.
Decrease Administrative Costs
With pen and paper time cards, your managers spend tedious hours troubleshooting timesheet inaccuracies and then manually slinging the data into the payroll system. When your HR staff can complete payroll in minutes, they are free to work on organization initiatives that have a bigger payoff. Overtime policing can also be time-consuming, which leads us to number 3:
Control Costly Overtime
Companies that mismanage overtime for hourly team members can really take a financial hit. Pen and paper timekeeping systems don’t have built-in warnings to notify supervisors when employees are approaching or have exceeded their authorized hours. The larger your organization, the more unexpected overtime costs you. Workforce Management Suite customizable overtime warnings are one of the most popular features in our system.
Bottom line?
Workforce Management Suite will quickly pay for itself and continue to save on labor costs every single payroll!
