Abstract: Card auditing and calculating takes a great deal of
time, particularly for companies using full-
time time-keepers to calculate and audit
time cards. If the
time cards are handwritten, it takes even more
time to review, calculate, edit, and (typically) re-enter the data into a payroll
system. However, automation reduces audit
time by pre-processing punches against rules defined within the
system.
