The savings concepts for auditing, human error factors, and lost time bring into focus basic advantages for automation and the disadvantages of a manual system.
Many organizations use Human Error Factors and Audit Savings to develop a very conservative savings analysis. The savings generated by an automated system should be divided into quantitative an qualitative benefits. Quantitative savings are realized from five sources:
� Reducing the handling of paper timesheets
� Eliminating mathematical errors
� Eliminating the keying of data
� Reducing unauthorized time
� Achieving consistent and accurate application of pay rules
Qualitative savings, on the other hand, are more difficult to capture and measure accurately. For example, when supervisors have on-line access to time and labor management reports, they are able to improve staff management. Better management usually results in reduced labor costs, more efficient operations and better customer service.
