Let’s break down the exact return on investment (ROI) and how much money your business is losing without realising it.

Where Your Business is Losing Money (Without Realising It!)

Many event hire businesses unknowingly lose thousands per year due to:

  • Time theft (rounding up hours, late clock-ins, buddy punching)
  • Payroll overpayments
  • Manual payroll admin costs
  • Scheduling mistakes
  • Compliance issues & errors

These costs add up fast, impacting profitability and cash flow.

Here’s exactly how Marquee Tech stops these leaks and puts money back in your pocket.

1. Eliminating Payroll Overpayments & Time Theft

Studies show that time theft—where employees round up hours, clock in late, or even ask co-workers to punch in for them—accounts for 5-7% of total payroll costs. (Source: American Payroll Association)

Real-World Example: How Time Theft Adds Up

Let’s say an employee earns £12 per hour ($16 USD & CAD / €14 / $20 AUD & NZD) and rounds up just 10 minutes per day on their timesheet.

That small amount actually costs your business:

  • £2.00 per day ($2.67 USD & CAD / €2.33 / $3.33 AUD & NZD)
  • £40.00 per month ($53.33 USD & CAD / €46.67 / $66.67 AUD & NZD)
  • £480.00 per year ($640 USD & CAD / €560 / $800 AUD & NZD)

Now, multiply that by 10 employees:
Your business is losing £400 per month (£4,800 per year) on unnecessary payroll costs!

With Marquee Tech, employees log their exact working hours—no rounding, no buddy punching, no inflated timesheets.

ROI Breakdown:

  • Preventing just 10 minutes of time theft per employee per day generates up to 10x the cost of the system.
  • Cost of system for 10 employees: £30 per month ($40 USD & CAD / €35 / $65 AUD & NZD)
  • Savings from accurate time tracking: £400 per month ($533 USD & CAD / €467 / $667 AUD & NZD)
  • Total ROI: Over 1,200% in savings!

2. Saving Hours on Payroll Processing

Processing payroll manually is slow, expensive, and prone to errors.

How Much Does Payroll Processing Cost?

If your admin team spends 10 hours per month manually processing timesheets, at £15 per hour ($20 USD & CAD / €17.50 / $25 AUD & NZD), it costs:

£150 per month ($200 USD & CAD / €175 / $250 AUD & NZD) in payroll admin time.

Marquee Tech automates time tracking, reducing admin work by 50-75%.

ROI Breakdown:

  • Saving 50% of payroll admin time = £75 per month saved ($100 USD & CAD / €87.50 / $125 AUD & NZD)
  • This alone covers the cost of up to 25 employees using the system!

3. Eliminating Payroll Errors & Compliance Risks

Payroll errors cost 1-8% of total payroll expenses (Source: Workforce Institute).

For a business with a £20,000/month payroll ($26,667 USD & CAD / €23,333 / $33,333 AUD & NZD), errors can cost:

£200–£1,600 per month ($267–$2,133 USD & CAD / €233–€1,867 / $333–$2,667 AUD & NZD)

Marquee Tech ensures payroll accuracy, eliminating errors and costly adjustments.

ROI Breakdown:

  • Preventing just £100 in payroll errors per month offsets the cost of 33 employees using the system.
