"The deployment had a high ROI because the university used Kronos to get its rules environment under control. By automating the application of pay rules, two significant improvements happened. First, errors were virtually eliminated, significantly reducing payroll overpayments. Second, overtime rules were applied more consistently and fairly, which reduced overtime costs."
