~ conclusion ~
HRIS...
system that allows a business to streamline the administration of employee benefits. In many cases, employees and new hires may electronically enroll in benefit plans. They may also have the capability of logging onto the system to monitor and update their current coverage throughout the year, changing status, dependent information and contact data as required. A self-service system allows for benefits to be efficiently administered with as little manpower as possible, saving an organizations time and money.


finally!!! 4 months just a short period to learn all about HRIS. Less than 3 weeks we will face our final exam. To be honest, after I've attend 1st class for this subject, feel like want to drop cause too many things request from Dr. Naha. Blog, CPD, assignment, presentation, fuhhh...make me want to cry.
But now, I'm done. Malaysia Boleh!

The Web
ü  Online performance appraisal forms
ü  Administration and analysis of full-circle feedback or other types of customer input

ü  Creation of individual scorecards that cascade companywide balanced scorecards.

Third-Party Vendors
Ø  Administration of competency and skills databases.
Ø  Tracking completion of performance appraisals.

          e.g.: PeopleSoft’s Workforce Analytics module tracks companywide performance against a balanced scorecard and calculates retention probabilities for individuals, groups and departments, using performance criteria and output as one of the key variables.

                        
         


** Role of Technology in Supporting Performance**
Payroll oh payroll. Our next topic!! J


The Payroll Process
•         Many companies often merge payroll and HR
•         The payroll process maintains records of payroll taxes, fringe benefits, attendance/absence, time worked and employee paychecks
•         The payroll process is generally automated because computers are much faster at handling the repetitive computations necessary (payroll is also the most frequently outsourced application in accounting)
•         Current HR software reaches far beyond simply doing payroll and includes:
–        Benefits admin, applicant tracking/processing, skills inventories and compliance reporting
•         Much of HRM is NOT captured by GAAP
–        But accountants must recognize the immense value of human capital and its effect on the long-term financial health of the organization

The Payroll Process


•         Payroll generally falls under the controller’s office with the treasurer participating in distributing paychecks


Payroll Data and Flows

•         Tax rates data
–        Contains current tax rates (federal, state, county and city) for employee withholding and employer accruals
•         Attendance time record
–        Lists hours employee are at the job site available for work; usually kept on time card
•         Job time records
–        Start and stop times for particular jobs for direct labor distribution

Federal Payroll Tax Reports

•         941 (report of FICA taxable wages)
•         W-2 (employee wage and tax statement)
•         1099 (reports non-salary income)
•         Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) reports (reports on private pension fund assets management)

Payroll System Controls

•         Segregation of duties between HR (employee record creation), payroll (prepares payroll) and AP/cashier (disburses cash)
•         Direct deposit (eliminates opportunity for check fraud)
•         Review of employee master data for duplicate names and/or social security numbers
•         Comparison of actual payroll to budget



**PAYROLL**

One of the important things for career development is PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT.
Definition:
Employee performance management is the process of involving employees in accomplishing your agency’s mission and goals.
Employee performance management includes:  planning work and setting goals, monitoring performance, developing capacity, reviewing performance, and rewarding good work.

Performance Management Cycle




Stages of Performance Management





      Stage 1 – Planning
•          Work goals
•          Competencies
•          Learning
Performance planning at the start of the year and then periodically is the core of the performance management process.  The performance plan should be a written document.
•          Performance results – the what
–        Performance outcomes or standards – from job description
–        Performance objectives for the next time period
•          Performance behavior – the how
–        Competencies, performance factors,  or behavior expectations
•          Development objectives

MBO is a system in which specific performance objectives are jointly determined by subordinates and their superiors, progress toward objectives is periodically reviewed, and rewards are allocated on the basis of this progress.


      Stage 2/3 – Monitor and Develop
•          Feedback
•          Coach
•          Adjust goals

Daily performance management!
Monitoring includes measuring performance and giving feedback.  Two way communications between the manager and employee throughout the performance period is critical to the performance management process. 

Daily performance management
•          Feedback and coaching – informal
•          Monitoring and tracking performance against standards and progress toward goals.
•          Quarterly performance planning and performance discussions
•          Development through coaching, training, challenging or visible assignments, improving work processes


Stage 4 – Review
•          At least annually
•          Discuss
•          Document

The formal process of documenting results the employee has achieved and behaviors and/or competencies displayed should occur at least once a year.
