You probably have mountains of data regarding your employees. But does it tell you what you need to know about employee practices – such as overstating time worked or punching in too early or too late – that could be costing you money? Every time an employee accepts pay for time he didn’t actually work, it represents a loss for your company.
Research shows the impact of payroll fraud and gaming the payroll system. Time fraud can average as much as 4.5 hours per employee per week – a cost of more than $5,000 per employee each year. And studies indicate that as many as 45% of US shift workers report their time inaccurately.

- Gain real-time visibility into employee hours to better spot and manage anomalies
