Holistic Management
Public safety agencies do not struggle with scheduling due to lack of discipline or effort. They struggle because manual workforce processes cannot keep pace with 24/7 operations, complex labor rules, and constant operational change.
Intelligent workforce management is no longer about convenience. It is about control, compliance, and confidence.
InTime delivers a workforce management platform purpose-built for public safety. It replaces manual workarounds with intelligent automation while preserving the rules, oversight, and accountability agencies require.
1. Automating complex labor rules without losing control
Union agreements, FLSA requirements, training qualifications, and minimum staffing rules leave little margin for error. Manual scheduling increases compliance risk and pulls supervisors away from operational priorities.
The North Dakota Department of Corrections relied on paper-based scheduling and timekeeping that consumed hours each day and limited visibility. After implementing InTime, the agency achieved:
88% reduction in daily scheduling and timekeeping tasks
Full visibility into schedule changes and justifications
100% prevention of assigning unqualified staff
Automation eliminated guesswork while enforcing agency-specific rules and maintaining accountability at every step.
2. Gaining real-time staffing and overtime visibility
Public safety leaders need immediate insight into staffing levels, overtime exposure, and coverage gaps. InTime provides real-time data, alerts, and dashboards so supervisors can act before issues escalate.
At the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, managing separate patrol and jail schedules created inefficiencies and overtime strain. With InTime in place:
Time spent managing overtime dropped by 90%
Time bank errors were eliminated
Administrative workload decreased by 60%
Supervisors now fill shifts faster, control overtime more effectively, and maintain compliance without manual workarounds or last-minute fixes.
3. Accurate pay, on-time payroll, better retention
Few issues damage trust and morale faster than payroll errors or delayed paychecks. Manual scheduling and paper timesheets make those risks unavoidable.
The Seneca County Sheriff’s Office experienced frequent payroll errors and delays prior to adopting InTime. After implementation:
Payroll errors were eliminated
Payroll delays were eliminated
Scheduling and overtime became fully transparent and auditable
As confidence in pay accuracy increased, retention improved. Reliable workforce systems directly support workforce stability.
4. Improving compliance, transparency, and workforce wellness
InTime enforces labor rules automatically and maintains detailed audit trails across scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll. Role-based visibility ensures leadership and staff always see the information relevant to them.
Integrated fatigue monitoring and hour tracking help agencies identify overwork early. Supervisors can address burnout risks before they impact safety, performance, or morale.
5. Operating from a single source of truth
InTime unifies scheduling, timekeeping, payroll, and compliance into a single platform designed specifically for public safety. Agencies eliminate duplicate data entry, reduce administrative effort, and gain reliable insight into staffing levels, labor costs, and long-term workforce planning.
The takeaway
Agencies using InTime are not just upgrading software. They are strengthening operations by:
Reducing administrative workload by up to 88%
Eliminating payroll errors and payment delays
Improving compliance, transparency, and staff retention
If your agency is still relying on manual workforce processes, the risk is not theoretical. It is measurable.
