Pennsylvania county to upgrade payroll system
Northeastern Pennsylvania's Luzerne County may have an upgraded timeclock and payroll system in place by August, according to the Hazleton Standard Speaker.
According to county commissioners, the new system could save $1.8 million annually by combating absenteeism, unnecessary overtime and manual payroll processing-related errors.
"The public wants accountability, and this is a way to ensure accountability," said County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, according to the news source.
Officials are yet to determine how many of the county's 1,600 employees will be using the new system, which will include biometric timeclocks and require employees to check in with their palms.
President Judge Thomas F. Burke Jr. said the judiciary has not yet agreed to use the new system for its 310 employees.
"The matter is at the discussion stage as it relates to the courts [but] the court fully understands the county's objective to ensure that county employees are measuring up to their workplace obligations," he said, according to the news source.
Commissioners in Georgia's Madison County recently voted to uphold its existing timesheet system rather than switch to a timeclock, according to the Athens Banner Herald.
