Overall, the Hawkesbury General Hospital (HGH) has the potential to save $197,251 (annual,
based on April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009).
Kronos used Workforce Analytics™, its proprietary labor analytics solution to prepare this diagnostic
assessment. In general, labor analytic measures and KPIs provide micro-level visibility into the trends,
drivers and outliers that create excess labor cost and lost productivity. In addition, Workforce Analytics™
provides: organizations with the ability to hold supervisors and employees accountable, managers with
actionable information and data to support process improvements, and the corporation the ability to
control costs.
NOTE: The analysis contained in this document is meant solely to identify potential areas for cost
reduction. Kronos does not guarantee any labor cost reductions by delivering this document;
savings may only result from actions taken by HGH. This assessment is blind to quality of care
considerations that may impact HGH’s ability to optimize labor scheduling and utilization.
Cost-based measures are available in Workforce Analytics™ when wages are stored in WFC; user
access to wages in WFC may be controlled by the “Wage Access Profile Switch”, i.e. the data
could be stored in WFC without anyone having access to it in WFC, access would only be for
managers with access to Analytics.
2.1 OVERTIME
2.1.1 TREND—HOURS PER EMPLOYEE, PER INVOLVED
This Overtime Hours trend allows for very high-level comparison across the total organization; Workforce Analytics™ provides the easy ability to
filter results by any Labor Level and/or Employee.
2008 2009
The graph above shows that for employees who incurred overtime, a high was reached in August 2008, when 13.29 hours were incurred per
Involved (number of OT hours / number of employees who incurred overtime). Lower per Involved value means that more employees are
incurring the overtime (hours are distributed across more employees). The next section shows that total Overtime Hours is trending up for the
year over year 24-month period.

Considering this in context of the previous section: there are more total hours (upward trend) being distributed across an increased
number of employees incurring the overtime.
This leads to the following questions for further consideration:
• Are there opportunities to replace overtime labor with regular labor?
• Does staffing need to be increased?
• Are there outside factors, e.g. closing of surrounding/competitive facilities that have contributed to influx of additional patients?
If overtime for these outliers is brought in line with average, i.e. reduced to 2.71%, HGH has the
potential to save $142,187.60, based on April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 data. This equates to
reducing Overtime by 9179.95 hours, to be replaced by Regular hours.
NOTE: Average regular wage per occupation x 1.5 = average OT wage per occupation. This cost
savings example is based on wage information for a limited number of occupations; actual
savings may be greater (i.e. if there are additional outliers exceeding 2.71% overtime
performance for which cost information was not available at time of this analysis).
Another way to look at Outliers is by organization breakout, where the following 2 organizations
significantly exceeded the company average 2.71% Overtime Hours as Percent of Paid Hours for the April
1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 time frame:
Overtime HRS as a % Overtime HRS as a %
Organization of Worked HRS of Paid HRS
Hawkesbury General Hospital 3.19% 2.71%
Ambulatory Services 5.41% 4.76%
Nursing In-Patient Services 5.18% 4.40%
Diagnostic & Therapeutic Services 1.32% 1.08%
Administration & Support Services 1.16% 0.98%
Community Services 0.30% 0.23%
Mental Health Services 0.25% 0.22%
Marketing Services 0.19% 0.17%
In Service 0.04% 0.04%
NOTE: This outlier information (section 2.1.3) was analyzed on the 12 months from April 1, 2008 –
March 31, 2009.

NOTE: The accuracy of the Absenteeism category is dependent on schedules, which were present in the HGH data. In contrast to Unexcused
Absenteeism (displayed above), Excused Absenteeism requires manager approval of the exception (in Workforce Timekeeper).
