Case Study: Winnebago County Sheriff achieves 60% reduction in administrative workload with InTime

How Winnebago County Sheriff improved communication between patrol and jail to help alleviate employee burnout and streamline admin workload

Winnebago County Sheriff, which employs 349 full-time and 31 part-time staff across patrol, jail, 911 and civilian units, faced widespread payroll and scheduling problems from a paper-based system—lost forms, manual leave/overtime calculations, pay inaccuracies, lack of audit trails and mounting administrative burden. To address these issues they chose InTime scheduling and workforce management software to replace their manual processes.

InTime automated timekeeping, mobile timesheets, leave/overtime workflows and reporting, improving accountability and auditability across the agency. The vendor’s solution cut payroll processing from 40+ hours to about 10 hours per week, eliminated payroll errors, delivered a reported 60% reduction in administrative workload (with payroll time reductions reported as high as 90% in specific tasks), and provided real-time time-bank tracking and clearer overtime insights.
