...E-compensation Dr. Dana Richmond HRM 520 March 6, 2013 Strayer University Assess the advantages and disadvantages of using a Web-based compensation tool versus a client-server based or stand-alone PC-based system and then give your opinion on which system would provide the most value to an organization’s stakeholders. Include three (3) facts to support your opinion? A few advantages of using the web compensation tool are, first web compensation tools can increase access to critical compensation information without the need for sophisticated or dedicated IT staffs and sophisticated technology infrastructures. Information can be accessed electronically or on an as needed basis. The second advantage is that e-compensation tools enable round the clock availability of meaningful compensation information to senior managers, Human Resources (HR) managers and employees, Whereas with a client based server applications are installed on a user's computer or workstation, and interact with data and programs on a server and this information is not readily available round the clock. The third e-compensation tools can streamline cumbersome tasks through the introduction of workflow functionality and real-time information processing, (Gueutel, 2005, p. 167). A disadvantage to the web-based compensation tool in comparison to a client based server is you have to constantly deal with security issues which include breach of information.

...Project Management Construct a Cost-Benefit Analysis matrix for an organization that is considering replacing its internal payroll system with a payroll outsourcing service. Include direct and indirect revenue enhancements and direct and indirect cost reductions. For an organization which is considering replacing its internal payroll system with a payroll outsourcing service, the direct revenue enhancements and cost reductions for a company which is into internal payroll system may include increase in productivity of the company’s employees since they can now focus on doing more productive things, and improve the profitability.

(Undercover Boss-7 Eleven, 2014). This enterprise offers thousands of different job positions that permits the organization to have continued success. Most organizations perform a job analysis to guarantee that the selection procedures they utilize to choose between job applicants are effective but defensible and measure knowledge, skills, abilities and personal characteristics to perform the job requirements (Stewart & Brown, 2011). The 7-Eleven enterprise has several positions that are essential to the customers, like the Night-shift clerk and the Delivery truck driver. These two positions impact the consumer on different levels, unlike the night-shift clerk the delivery driver has little contact with the client.

...According to Kavanagh, Thite, & Johnson (2012), a cost benefit analysis (CBA) is a comparison of the projected costs and benefits associated with a human resource information system (HRIS) investment. There are guidelines to effectively conducting a CBA and if they are followed properly the information obtained to determine its effectiveness will be accurate. The purpose of the CBA is to improve organizational performance and not to purchase hardware or software. The CBA teams should start with an open mind and not with the mindset of fixing a problem. The focus should be on functionality and not the actual products. The benefits should always be examined first before the cost is discussed. The CBA team should also have a working knowledge of the organization’s policies, procedures, and how the company makes to decision to accurately determine the best decision. Develop the most feasible estimate without being idealistic or conventional. The analysis should be separate from the questions of how best to justify a final decision. Payroll can be a demanding and time-consuming task and many businesses have opt to transfer these services to an external payroll service provider to manage and save the company time, cost, and avoid penalties. A CBA should be conducted to determine rather or not a company should replace its internal payroll system with a payroll outsourcing service. Direct Indirect Revenue Enhancements • Outsourcing payroll services • Better managed payroll and...

...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 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.
