Payroll and personnel: the new interface
Article Abstract:
Recent technological innovations in computer information systems have prompted many personnel departments to take over aspects of payroll departments, such as completing data entry and processing checks. Payroll departments are not likely to be completely absorbed into personnel divisions, however, because most human resources personnel lack the financial skills needed to accomplish necessary accounting functions. Payroll professionals who must adapt to work-related changes may find they will need to re-define career paths, possibly focusing on financial positions ranging from careers in systems to careers in accounting.

The upfront issues of payroll and HRIS interface
Article Abstract:
Political, technical, functional, and economic issues are raised within companies where automated payroll and personnel systems interact. Technical issues are relatively easy to resolve, but not political issues such as long-standing differences between human resources and payroll departments. Historically, payroll systems have preceded their human resources information systems counterparts, and there is typically a different data-base architecture employed for each. Increased efficiency and elimination of duplicate or redundant data act as cost-saving motivators for overcoming barriers to system integration.

Software: buy it right
Article Abstract:
Software for payroll and human resources information systems can be evaluated by using a vendor feature matrix that provides a weighted comparison of desired features offered by different vendors. Organizational needs must be determined and assigned scaled numerical values. The needs analysis is critical in the development of the vendor feature matrix. The evaluation criteria for the software are the features identified in the needs analysis. The weighted functional matrix can be part of the usual multi-stage vendor evaluation process.
