Full-Service Bank Reports Savings of $500,000 Per Year

FORDS, NJ, May 8, 2008 - Datamatics Management Services, Inc., a leading provider of labor management services, has always been proud of its role as the developer of TC-1, one of the premier time and attendance solutions in the industry. Why are they so proud? It's because they know that TC-1 delivers measurable results for clients seeking a competitive edge and long-term profitability. Zions Bancorporation is one such organization. By saving $500,000 per year through its usage of TC-1, Zions Bancorp is a perfect example of Datamatics executing its mission of "providing clients with improvement."

Zions Bancorporation is one of the nation's premier financial services companies, consisting of a collection of great banks in select high growth markets. Zions operates its banking businesses under local management teams and community identities through more than 500 offices in 10 Western and Southwestern states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. The company is a national leader in Small Business Administration lending and public finance advisory services. In addition, Zions is included in the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Financial 100 indices.

Zions switched from paper timesheets to TC-1 back in 1998, and their SVP and Corporate HRIS Director, Jeff Hansen, says that the results were immediate. "Through TC-1, we pay people for the hours they actually work with no generous rounding. This has helped us to save at least $500,000 per year." Considering the fact that Jeff is responsible for paying over 11,000 employees, you can imagine how relieved Jeff was when his organization decided to eliminate the wasteful, cumbersome processes in their payroll department by converting to TC-1.

Datamatics Takes No Breaks in Improving the Labor Management of Zions Affiliate, California Bank & Trust

Under California Labor Code § 512(a), an employer must provide a thirty minute meal break to employees who work more than five hours per day and a second thirty minute meal break to those working more than ten hours per day. This statute also mandates a ten minute rest break every four hours or fraction thereof worked. Not abiding by this law can result in potentially costly lawsuits for any California business.

For this reason, at California Bank & Trust offices, they use the banner feature of TC-1. This is a streaming message on their TC-1 clock that serves as a reminder for their employees to take their required lunch/rest breaks. In fact, their message reads,

"By clocking in and out of the TC-1 system, I acknowledge that I have correctly recorded all time worked, have taken all required meal periods, and have been provided required rest breaks."


Therefore, Zions not only uses TC-1 to provide it with tremendous cost savings and a decrease in payroll preparation time, but also a means of informing their workforce and staying in compliance. Jeff Hansen also commented that, "We very much like the flexibility of TC-1. In addition to helping us stay in compliance with federal and state laws, Datamatics also provides us with world-class customer service."

That sounds like a labor management solution provider that you can bank on, indeed.
