HR and payroll are two distinct areas of a business, but they both face a similar challenge: keeping track of ever-changing employee information. Often this information exists on separate systems, which can lead to data inconsistencies and an inefficient use of time as your team manually tracks and updates information. This is why many businesses are automating the process with a human resource information system. An HRIS is software that provides master data management with one database and one login. Here are some of the ways an HRIS can increase productivity and save your HR and Payroll teams’ sanity:

It’s one of the great juggling acts company owners, managers and HR professionals have to perform every year: assembling a time-off calendar that satisfies each employee, while ensuring day-to-day operations carry on without a hitch. Regardless of the size of your company, it’s easy to drop the ball by allowing too many vacations at once or not having policies in place regarding seniority, rollover time, or blackout dates (to name a few).

Recruiters and HR teams don’t need to work for large companies to find themselves buried in resumes and job applications.

It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book: An employee gets to work late, wants to clock out early or is a total no-show and recruits a co-worker to punch in or out for him or for her. It’s a sneaky way to get paid for work not done and solicit a co-conspirator to help make it happen — all while employers are left holding the bag. “Buddy punching,” as the practice is known, costs businesses millions of dollars annually, both in wages paid for non-existent workers, and in lost productivity. Not only that; buddy punching is considered in many cases to be fraud. It’s a crime, and it’s a bona fide punishable offense.
