Calculate the cost of not letting employees use HR tech

Not allowing your workforce to access
HR Tech?

That'll cost you.

For every HR and payroll task you perform on the employee’s behalf, there’s a dollar amount associated with it that’s subtracted from your bottom line. A study conducted by Ernst & Young (EY) estimates the total costs associated with completing these tasks and the average cost of a single data entry in the absence of self-service HR and payroll tech. This calculator uses EY data to estimate these losses based on the factors you input.
