Understand the Real ROI of Time & Attendance

This ROI calculator estimates the annual financial and operational impact of more accurate time reporting and streamlined payroll review. The results are designed to support planning and leadership conversations, not assumptions about staff reductions.

See how improved time tracking can reduce payroll overpayments and reclaim administrative hours, using your district’s own data.

Accurate Time Capture at the Source

When time is captured correctly the first time, it helps out downstream (a lot).

Frontline Time & Attendance:

  • Replaces paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools with a single system
  • Applies consistent rules and validations at clock-in and clock-out
  • Reduces missed punches, rounding errors, and the need for retroactive fixes

This is the foundation to lower time inflation and fewer payroll corrections.

Fewer Exceptions & Faster Payroll Review

Instead of payroll teams hunting for issues after the fact, Frontline brings problems to the surface earlier when action is required.

  • Exception-based workflows that focus attention where it’s needed
  • Cleaner approvals from supervisors before payroll runs
  • Less back-and-forth with employees and managers

The result is fewer hours spent reviewing payroll and more predictable processing cycles.

Simplified Extra Duty & Exception Pay

Extra duty, stipends, and non-routine pay are major sources of manual effort.

Time & Attendance helps by:

  • Capturing extra duty time alongside regular hours
  • Standardizing approval and submission processes
  • Reducing separate forms, emails, and follow-ups

Stronger Controls Without Added Burden

Improved controls don’t have to mean more work.

Time & Attendance provides:

  • Clear audit trails for time edits and approvals
  • Consistent application of district policies
  • Better visibility for payroll, HR, and finance teams

Built for K–12 Realities

Time & Attendance in education is different. Frontline is designed to handle:

  • Large hourly populations
  • Multiple roles, assignments, and pay types
  • School-based approvals and decentralized management
