BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nucleus Research analysts examined the deployment of Workforce Timekeeper from Kronos Incorporated at Clarksville Montgomery County School which generated a 78% return on investment (ROI) with a 1.28 year payback.

The Clarksville Montgomery School system located in Clarksville, TN, operates 36 schools ranging from the elementary level up through middle college. The system has had an annual increase of 500 students per year over the last three years recently opening two new schools; West Creek High School and Rossview Elementary School in the fall of 2009.

With the steady growth of the county’s student population, the school system had encountered increasing difficulty in administering payroll. Paper timesheets were filled out manually and required multiple steps in the approval process before being individually keyed into the school’s payroll system at the Clarksville headquarters. In 2005 the school administrators determined that automation was required in response to the growing number of staff throughout the system. Clarksville Montgomery School system evaluated multiple time and attendance systems and chose Kronos Workforce Timekeeper to administer payroll without increasing accounting staff.

Kronos Workforce Timekeeper provided a solution that was chosen by the State of Tennessee as a preferred time-and-attendance contractor as well as being the most cost effective solution for the functionality that it provided. In its deployment, the new system improved employee productivity and payroll administrator productivity, while also reducing paper costs using the automated system.

“The Kronos deployment at the Clarksville Montgomery County School was successful because of both breadth and repeatability. It touches every employee, their leave-related workflows, and their time-and-attendance related workflows. These, combined with productivity improvements in payroll, led to the strong payback and ROI,” said David O’Connell, senior analyst, Nucleus Research.
