Technology & Service: Case Study Of The Month

Wisconsin Lift Truck
The Story: Wisconsin Lift Truck Corp. had partnered with one of the “big” payroll providers and were very frustrated over the cumbersome process to get relatively simple things done. Tasks such as accessing data through functional and meaningful reporting capabilities were needed.
The company performed web searches for HRIS providers, looking for the right demographic – a provider with a full HRIS offering, experience, a solid software package, and good references. Several vendors were brought on site to demonstrate their software during the search process.

Intat Precision
The Story: As an automotive industry supplier, Intat Precision had
several calculations for pay rates for both union employees
and Japanese employees working in the Indiana
facility. The new system needed to integrate with their
existing Time & Attendance system and have the capability
to calculate items such as deduction arrearages and
labor costing.
The company’s union relationship necessitated automatic
pay increases and bonuses based on employee longevity,
as well as disciplinary action tracking and alerts. The company
also employs Japanese workers, requiring unique
earnings calculations for Tax purposes.
Additional goals of the new system included:
1) Time savings in calculating Time & Attendance 2) Employee Benefi ts enrollment and tracking
3) Integration with G/L accounting codes
4) Workers compensation reporting
5) Custom 401k interface
6) Specialized security roles for system administrators

Towne Properties
The Story: After undergoing 3 HRIS & Payroll conversions
in less than 15 years, Towne Properties had very
specific requirements in selecting a provider that
could meet their needs. They spent an “extraordinary”
amount of time meeting and discussing what
they were looking for with major service vendors
only to fi nd that none could successfully accommodate
their unique requirements.
The management of Towne’s Human Resource
Management Systems (HRMS) needed to integrate
seamlessly with their G/L accounts for each
entity. Labor distribution was calculated through
a burden percentage formula for each business
entity and pay group. One of the main goals for
their new system was a payroll interface fi le containing
earnings paid plus the burden percentage
calculated and charged to each entity and the appropriate
G/L account.
