HRMS and payroll platform blueprint for a 2,000-employee staffing company
A staffing company with two thousand employees working at client sites is replacing a spreadsheet and an off-the-shelf HR tool with its own system for attendance, leave, payroll and compliance. We produced the complete blueprint for it.
Services involved
Fig 4.1Context
Where it started.
Two thousand active employees spread across client locations, payroll rules that differ from state to state, attendance records that have to stand up to client audits, and a plan to bill clients from the same data later.
