It’s very important for managers to be able to track department labor costs in order to remain competitive and control impact to the bottom line. Unfortunately this becomes a difficult task when the data is trapped inside the payroll department’s PCs, forcing managers to wait for reports to be produced and distributed. In fact, many payroll departments find it challenging to create labor distribution reports because only a portion of the necessary data resides within their ADP payroll system. Under these circumstances, reports must be compiled manually, a very tedious and error-prone process. For large companies with multiple locations, report distribution alone means tons of wasted paper, high shipping costs and vulnerability to theft.

With Insight e-Tools’ online labor distribution solution, creating and accessing labor reports is easy. The payroll data is automatically imported after each pay cycle and can be combined with supplemental data to pre-populate the reports managers need. Instead of having to call the payroll department for employee information, managers can simply log into their secure system to access the data themselves. With the Insight by e-Mail feature, they can even receive automatic e-mails notifying them when their reports are ready to view. And since these reports require a login ID and password to access and drill-down to the details, there’s no need to worry about confidential information falling into the wrong hands. Plus, the paper waste and shipping/storage costs associated with typical manual reports are virtually eliminated!
