Located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Elgin Community College serves close to 22,000 full- and part-time students with a variety of credit and noncredit courses each academic year. The college has a workforce of about 1,600 employees, many of whom have multiple jobs, which makes it difficult to track time and attendance for payroll processing. Different pay rules and paid leave benefits further complicate payroll processing and the need to comply with wage and labor laws and other state and federal regulations.
To streamline its time and labor management process and reduce costs, the college replaced its predominantly manual, paper-based tracking system. A customer since 2011, Elgin uses WorkForce Software Time & Attendance to increase manager payroll and HR staff productivity. The solution helps staff collect more complete payroll data and improve its compliance with various pay rules and regulations.
“Besides knowing that our rules are consistently applied, we are collecting much more accurate and complete data.”
