PCH are looking for an HR and Payroll system that can support our HR team and 650 multi-disciplinary employees. We would welcome contact from suppliers that can provide a comprehensive system and feedback on how their software supports the wide range of HR and payroll services. Our high level requirements are set out below:
Self Service
We are looking for a self-service system that can support both our citrix desktop and mobile working smartphone using employees using desktop and smartphone access/apps. The system should be able to support PCH to move suitable HR processes to a digital platform accessible across a range of devices.
Payroll
The system should provide a comprehensive payroll system for our in house payroll team that supports UK payroll legislation and HMRC processing. It should be able to support employees with multiple posts/split cost centre posts and provide electronic payslips/P60s via email/self-service application. The system will need to support multiple pension schemes.
HR
We require an HR system that can support all the necessary functions within a busy HR team. Configurable workflow should be available to support our processes and where appropriate provide automation. The HR system should work in conjunction with the payroll system but should allow the HR team to undertake functions outside of payroll processing without impacting payroll processing (e.g. on-boarding). We would like to hear how suppliers can support structure charts produced from the HR system.
Learning and Development and Appraisals
We provide a wide range of learning and development for our employees and would like a system that can support managers/employees booking onto courses through self=service, a digital appraisal system and the identification of structured training needs fed back through the appraisal process.
Reports
The system should provide a comprehensive suite of standard reports with the ability for HR/Payroll/Learning and Development users to easily modify existing reports or create custom reports.
Integration
We would be interested to hear what levels of integration suppliers can offer with various back office systems e.g. Outlook for leave appointments/back office systems/active directory.
For an intial discussion please contact us via the procontract facility or directly via PCHpurchasing@plymouthcommunityhomes.co.uk
