SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HR

Serenic HCM Payroll

Payroll is a critical component of every business – and often one of the most complex. Companies need payroll software that offers ease of use, accuracy and full integration with business management systems. A powerful, integrated payroll software solution can improve labor productivity and labor effi ciencies, as well as help control labor related costs – all of which directly contribute to your bottom line.

Serenic Human Capital Management (HCM) Payroll is a fl exible, in-house solution designed to meet the individual needs of industries – including manufacturing, wholesale/retail, trade, services, distribution, construction, and nonprofi t organizations to name a few. A fl exible system allowing for in-depth data analysis, HCM Payroll utilizes Microsoft NAV’s database for processing large numbers of employees – adding up to a powerful HCM offering for Enterprise Resource Management (ERM). Track payroll information against jobs, defi ne unique pay cycles, track and calculate commissions and more.

In the past, common thought held that outsourcing of payroll was a great time and money saver, but more and more organizations are fi nding that in-house payroll is a better choice. During payroll processing, for example, an internal staff performs the bulk of the work whether a company outsources the calculations or not. Source data input is the most time-consuming task during payroll runs, while the time a payroll vendor spends on calculations is minor in comparison.

Using Serenic HCM Payroll, data entry and calculations are completed by your in-house staff, lowering the overall cost per transaction and saving the minimum or basic vendor processing fees. In addition, the ability to post, store and report upon detailed ledger entries per employee and/or departments saves the incredible amount of time and money required to obtain similar “ad-hoc” or “one-off” reports from outsourced providers.

SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HR

Easily access all Employee information from one user-friendly screen.

“Without Serenic Payroll, it would be nearly impossible – and cost-prohibitive – to pay weekly. Since Serenic HCM is infi nitely scalable, it’s not a big deal – just a push of a button and very little effort to pay weekly versus every other week. We can break out payroll by dimensions, showing direct and indirect labor costs that payroll and management departments want to see. Before Serenic, we had to enter our 401k matching amounts, which took weeks. Now we can pull the same information in minutes.”

Rick Drass, Vice President of Information Technology, Tervis Tumbler, Serenic HCM Payroll customer

SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HR

“Outsourcing certainly has its benefi ts, but before you decide to hand off your payroll hassles to an outsourced solution provider, stop and consider not only your company’s needs, but also the potential pay-per-view costs you might encounter along the way. Which steps in the payroll process cause you the most pain? Are you willing to pay for the convenience of outsourcing them? Will outsourcing truly shift the burden? And are you ready to hand over some (or all) of the control of your valuable information? Can you live with level of detail provided by a service provider or do you need more insight into your labor costs?”

All of these functional areas are included in the Serenic HCM Offering.

HR Extended Fields

Track and analyze user-defi ned data.

Every company has unique data to store. Serenic HCM Extended Fields feature allows you to quickly enter an unlim-ited number of user-defi ned fi elds with the ability to group like fi elds together. It also enables you to establish a list of predefi ned values for each user-defi ned fi eld. This eliminates the chance of data entry error and ensures accuracy when analyzing data for:

• Employees • Employers • Positions • Applicants • Job Requisitions

One of the most common statements from human resource personnel is that there is no easy way to analyze data on-screen. With Serenic HCM Extended Fields, there are different analysis tools allowing you to “slice and dice” your data quickly and easily on screen. Being able to drill down and fi nd specifi c employee information directly from the analysis form saves time and increases productivity.

• Track an unlimited number of user defi ned fi elds. • Pre-determine the type of data that can be entered into a specifi c fi eld (e.g., code, text, Yes/No, etc.). • Set up a pre-defi ned list of values that appears on a drop-down list for the fi eld. • Drill down into specifi c details of the analysis to get the exact information that you need. • Send the analysis to Microsoft Excel®, Word® or Microsoft Outlook® (as an HTML attachment) with the click of a button.

Setting up Predefi ned Value pick lists enables ease of data entry and reduces data entry errors.

SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HRHR Position Management

Ease the hiring process.

This feature allows you to defi ne all positions within your company, including specifi c information that is standard for the position. Pertinent information will automatically fl ow to the employee once the position is assigned to them (e.g., rates, department and standard payroll controls such as earnings, hours, accruals and benefi ts).

• Describe the skills or qualifi cations that are required for a position, as well as the profi ciency required. • Delineate salary/rate range for a position with warning messages when an employee is assigned outside of the defi ned range. • Drill down to see the exact employees who have been assigned to a specifi c position. • Perform an analysis on employees or applicants to determine who has the best qualifi cations for a specifi c position. • Capture historical position information for tracking career patterns. • Attach multiple positions to individual employees with accurate full time equivalent (FTE) information. • Create budget and actual entries for each position allowing for budget/actual/variance reporting.

HR Recruitment

Rate all applicants based on qualifi cations with the interactive Applicant Qualifi cation Overview feature.

Whether you are recruiting internally or externally, fi nding the right candidates for an open position is extremely important. It also can be one of the most time-consuming tasks a human resource department can undertake. Serenic HCM Recruitment streamlines this process for your HR.

Applicant specifi c information relating to open job requisitions can be accessed through an applicant card or a job requisition card, including expected salary, willingness to relocate and availability. An analysis tool is available to assist in determining the most qualifi ed applicant for an open position.

Defi ne specifi c information that is standard for a position.

SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HR

• Easily create a new employee from an applicant and the applicant information will automatically fl ow to the employee card (e.g., qualifi cations, experience, references, personal information, etc.). • Purging historical applicants determined by specifi c requirements can be performed easily with the click of a button. • Run Position Qualifi cation Analysis to determine the most qualifi ed applicant or employee for an open position.

HR Communication Tracking

Effectively manage communications for employees, applicants and references.

Traditionally, sensitive communications related to human resource operations have been stored in paper fi les that grow over time. It is becoming more common to store “soft copies” of documents (e.g., offer letters, employee reviews, disciplinary actions, benefi t plan changes or announcements) on the network, but these fi les are not typically connected to the HR system or associated with the employee - making it cumbersome.

The Communications Tracking feature enables you to eliminate hard copies and electronically manage communications for employees or applicants. When you open an employee or applicant card, you can easily access all related communications, soft documents, fi les and information in fi elds. This feature includes the ability to:

• Produce and maintain communications integrated with the mail merge functionality of Microsoft Word. • Create mass or individual communications with either employees or applicants that can be distributed in hard copy, email or fax format.

Capture and track all relevant applicant data (i.e., contact information, references, qualifi cations and education).

SERENIC HCM PAYROLL & HR

Communication templates give you the ability to defi ne the different types of documents that will be stored and or sent via Microsoft Word mail merge functionality. Communication templates have two purposes: • Provide a standard format for communication with employees, applicants, and references. • Offer a consistent convention under which communications are catalogued.

HR Pay Structures

Simplify complex rates of pay.

Pay Structures allows payment using a company pay grid rather than individual employee rates of pay. When new rates are required or existing rates need to be adjusted, you can easily copy an existing pay grid with a new effective date and make the changes, then you can mass update all employees for those changes to take effect. Effective dates are available through many different areas of HCM 2013, so you can load a new rate into the system in advance of the change.

• Handle changing company rates using Master Pay Structures, which is controlled by effective dates. • Provide two options – a fi xed grid of specifi c rates or a range allowing for a position to have a min/max rate range.

Pay Structures allows for equitable treatment of all employees by assigning a grid system to the salary structure.
