Based on the above, PTO had a positive impact of $2,700,000 over three years. Savings included:


$391,660 saved in OT_$483,684 + $183,966 – $275,990).


$1,982,783 spent for employees at work instead of paying for non-productive pay for time not worked(unscheduled absences); $680,335 + $665,518 + $636,930. This means, increased productivity at no additional cost.


$350,000 saved in 1993 due to less temporary help needed from internal and external pools.
