Luzerne County plans to have a new time-clock and payroll system in place by November (citizensvoice.com)
County commissioners in December agreed to buy the time-clock system from Minnesota-based ACS Enterprise Solutions Inc. and Massachusetts-based Kronos Inc. for $462,395 plus maintenance fees. The purchase is being funded with money previously borrowed through bonds for capital projects.

County commissioners have claimed the new system could save $1.8 million annually by eliminating absenteeism, unnecessary overtime costs and errors from manual payroll processing. Officials also claim the new system will prevent employees from getting paid when they don't show up at work.
If the numbers are right, that's a 289% ROI before maintenance fees in the first year and the numbers would have to be very wrong indeed for the ROI to go to zero.
