Statistical random sampling messing time records in wage and hour litigation

Many employer time records are still in paper format that is not easily machine readable.  Analyzing these data in a wage and hour case typically requires manual entry of the records.  However, entering in all the time records is not always feasible.  In these situations a statistical random sampling of records can be useful and informative.   A solid statistical sampling alows the researcher to calculate error rates which are useful when making inferences concerning the time records.
