The Math Behind the Savings
Time Leakage Formula: (Minutes of leakage per day) x (Employees) x (Work days per year) x (Average Wage). Source: The American Payroll Association (now PayrollOrg) reports that time theft can cost companies up to 4.5 hours per week per employee.
Admin Waste Formula: (Hours spent on manual scheduling/payroll per week) x (Manager Wage) x (52 weeks). Source: Studies by Nucleus Research show that automating time and attendance can reduce payroll errors by up to 90%.

Eliminating "Time Theft"

5 minutes of “rounding up” per employee daily adds up to thousands. We use photo-punch and GPS to ensure you pay only for hours worked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate "Time Leakage"?

We use industry-standard data that suggests the average employee “leaks” about 5–10 minutes per shift through early clock-ins, late starts, or rounding errors. Our calculator multiplies this by your staff count and average wage to show the hidden annual impact on your bottom line.

Can this calculator account for Canadian provincial labor laws?

While this tool provides a high-level estimate, TimeWellScheduled is built specifically to handle Canadian compliance, including complex statutory holiday pay and overtime rules in provinces like Ontario, BC, and Quebec.

What is the ROI of switching from manual spreadsheets to scheduling software?

Most businesses see a return on investment within the first 3 months. Beyond the direct labor savings shown above, you save significant administrative time—reducing the hours managers spend on payroll prep by up to 80%.

Does TimeWellScheduled integrate with my current payroll provider?

Yes. To maximize the savings shown in the “Administrative Waste” section, we offer seamless exports to major providers like Ceridian, Powerpay (Dayforce), QuickBooks, and ADP.
