Biometrics boost ROI combined with a Time and Attendance solution

In this installment on Time and Attendance ROI (return on investment), we examine savings a properly configured time and attendance system can produce.  You just might be surprised since in the absence of an automated time and attendance system, companies lose productivity, overpay employees, and become distracted by the manual tasks of managing their staff.

HERE ARE SOME HARD FACTS TO CONSIDER:

Fact 1

The most frequently quoted statistic in time and attendance ROI calculations is the error rate when manually preparing time cards. The American Payroll Association (APA) and other studies estimate the error rate averages .5% to 2.0%. Even a small company can have an annual payroll of $5 million. Reducing the error by 0.5% can save a company $50,000 in hard dollars!

Fact 2

Eliminate errors by automating the punches, reliving the calculating and other manual entry. Even the best of keyboardists make errors at the rate of 1 error in every 300 keystrokes.

Fact 3

Studies have shown that manual calculation of time cards by management takes approximatively 7 minutes per card each pay period. Automation will reduce that to 1 minute!

Fact 4

Without the presence of an electronic Time & Attendance device, the APA estimates that the average weekly time theft (long lunches, tardiness…) is 49 minutes per employee.

Fact 5

According to industry experts and the American Payroll Association¹, automating Time and Attendance processes saves an estimated $1000.00 per employee per year. These savings are the result of a reduction in the cost of processing payroll, reduction in human error in recording time, elimination of unauthorized overtime and reduction in the time spent on employees’ information requests.

Fact 6

Companies have an average payroll error rate of 1.2 percent of total payroll.
