Savings through Labor Management
For a Northwest continuing care retirement community, processing payroll for its 600 employees once took four full days, twice every month. Scheduling for the 24-hour operation with multiple shifts was done manually using a spreadsheet posted on 11×17 inch paper. Tracking overtime, on-call shifts, and paid time off (PTO) for full-time, part-time staff was also a problem. Now, Attendance on Demand automatically schedules, tracks, and reports labor information resulting in annualized savings of an estimated $40,000–$50,000 and helped reduce staff by one full-time equivalent. The facility is now able to focus on its mission of providing residents, staff, and family members with high quality care services.
