Compelling reasons to use an automated payroll system

I work at a library with a diverse range of employee types, including part-time, full-time, union, and non-union staff. Unfortunately, time tracking methods vary widely, with most employees using paper timesheets. There are also inconsistencies in how comp time, overtime, flexible schedules, and double time are applied, even for those not in the union.

What is the best approach to standardize and streamline scheduling, timekeeping, and compensation management for greater efficiency?

Thank you for your guidance.
