Human Resources - Frequently Asked Questions

Benefits and Deductions

Is Payroll or Human Resources the preferred module for setting up benefits and deductions?

The primary benefits and deductions setup are identical in both the HR and Payroll modules. There is, however, an additional system in HR for the setting up of benefits and deductions in the Benefit/Deduction Eligibility System. This version is more along an automated election system, though the support tables are similar, and items in both systems are frequently interchangeable in administration.

Applicants and Employees

Are applicant entries required for employees?

Depending on your company procedures, there may be a requirement that all applicants are entered into the HR application and converted to employees when hired. However, this is optional from a system aspect, and employees can be created without applicant entry in either HR or Payroll.
