...Systems Consideration in HRIS In today’s knowledge economy, organizational success depends almost disproportionally on the performance of Human Resources (HR). To increase the effectiveness of Human Resource Management (HRM) organizations are becoming more dependent on human Resource Information Systems (HRIS). A HRIS organizes employee applicant and qualifications, organizational demographics, recruiting, professional development, performance appraisals, payroll, retention, and attrition. Organizations that implement HRIS’s improve the organizations administrative efficiency with faster information processing, improved employee communications, greater information accuracy, lover costs and overall HR productivity improvements (Beadles, 2005). When selecting a HRIS, Human Resources (HR) should consider the efficiencies of using software as a service, the inefficiencies of various Microsoft Access based database software, the risks involved with integrating and combining multiple products into one system, and the consequences of improper database maintenance. In analyzing HRIS’s that would be beneficial in my current organization I chose to focus on HRIS Pro by Micro Systems, and MyHRIS by Nuview Systems. Commercial Database Systems HRIS-Pro information management software allows organizations greater effectiveness in managing HR functions and responsibilities. The advantages of HRIS-Pro are the information systems cost, modular flexibility, expansion capabilities,...

...Running head: Human Resource System Executive Summary In 1992, Riordan Manufacturing Inc., implemented and established human resource information system (HRIS), which was included as part of a financial package. The HRIS package included functions such as maintaining personnel information, pay rate and tax information, hire and seniority dates, vacation leave for non-exempt employees, and organizational information. However, certain areas of the HRIS could be improved upon and developed. One area that needs improvement is the network communications between headquarters and all the Riordan plants. Improvements are also needed in central repository, resume storage, maintaining training and knowledge skills information, online employee user interface, and a central location for updating and maintaining employee personal and professional information. Improving the current HRIS activities would be advantageous to Riordan leadership and their employees. Hugh McMCauley, the COO for Riordan Manufacturing requested that the human resources (HR) system be analyzed to integrate the existing variety of tools in use in the present day to a single integrated application. The request will take advantage of a more sophisticated look for information systems technology in the HR department at Riordan Manufacturing. After the project is to be completed, Riordan Manufacturing will then be left with a detailed project plan that will provide a list of tasks, resources, schedule and budget required...

...Samford University Brock School of Business Abstract I have been taking Dr. Robert W. Service’s Human Resource Management (HRM) class for four months, and I was able to learn insightful thoughts and valuable objectives of human resource management. In this paper, I will discuss the knowledge, principles, and theories I have learned from the articles I have read, the HR managers I have interviewed, and the HRM classes I have taken. The paper will discuss HRM in terms of interviewing and hiring, training, employee development, succession planning, and appraisals. I will also discuss the work environment, employee protection, technologies, and overall HR management-planning and forecasting. Keywords: human resource management, interviewing and hiring, training, employee development, succession planning, appraisals, work environment, employee protection, technologies, overall HR management-planning and forecasting What I Have Learned From Human Resource Class No matter which topic we discuss in our HRM class, they all somehow relate to one objective that Dr. Robert W. Service emphasizes to us all the time: “the organization has the right people in the right positions with the right training and motivation to do tasks effectively and efficiently at the right time” (Service and Loudon, 2010). With this primary HR objective in mind, I realize that HRM plays a very important role in human resource allocation for any company in building the bridges of employee resources to the...

...Cheating, Copying, and Use of Tutor-Source Websites Copying is one of the most commonly committed acts that violate academic integrity. Copying includes looking off of someone else’s paper (or using someone’s paper or answers from another course, classroom, or previous session). It also is committed when a purchased (or free) paper is found online that is specific to the assignments provided in the course. Websites like Student of Fortune, ScribD, Ask.com, and so forth (many others) sometimes end up with DeVry assignments posted on them by students who have hired online tutor sources to write their work for them. Faculty members are aware of these sites and, just like students, can Google sources to find out if a paper has been bought from these sites. Avoid these sites like the plague—seriously. It just isn’t worth the extra hour or two it might buy you if you end up with a 0 for the paper or course or lose your degree over buying a paper (or getting it for free.) Typically, the #1 red flag to a professor that one of these sites has been used is when multiple students miss the same question in the exact same manner. Yes, the answers on those sites will typically cost money, but the answers are not guaranteed to be right. And further, the free papers on those sites almost always have wrong answers. Do not use these sites! Avoid them! If you use them, citing them is not enough to overcome the copying stigma and violation of the policy. As one instructor of the course...

...Work-Life and Diversity Challenges Executive Summaries Work-Life and Diversity Challenges “The employee began working on January 1. It is July 15, and the employee requires time off for a family emergency” (HRM/445 Course Syllabus). Family emergencies happen from time to time and require employees to take time off from his or her job. To take time off work an employee must be eligible to take such leave whether it is sick time, vacation time, comp time, or FMLA. “The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is the principal law governing the provision of leave to employees for parental and medical reasons” (Walsh, 2007, p. 312). Employees are entitled to FMLA leave when the following criteria are met: the employee has worked for the employer for at least 12 months before taking any leave, the employee has worked 1,250 hours during the 12 months before taking any leave, the employer has 50 employees or more, and the employee notifies the employer timely of the need for leave. Employees are required to give the employer as much notice as possible for the leave he or she is requesting. In the situation presented the employee would not be entitled to FMLA because he or she has not worked at least 12 months for the company before the need to take time off for a family emergency. The time off requested by the employee only states it is a family emergency and does not indicate what the exact emergency is. FMLA requires that a “qualifying event” must occur for an employee...
