On This Independence, Get Freedom from Manual HR Management

So, in some aspects, we were still dependent internally for our work. We only relied on manual tasks and use to believe that manually created files or data are only faithful. Now is the time to shift for automated tools instead of doing things manually and save some time.

Nowadays people are using Human Resource Management Software [HRMS], to reduce the workforce and increase the productivity. Cloud-based HR software manages all HR functions into a single entity.

HR functions include recruitment, onboarding, enrolment and training, leave and attendance, payroll, performance management, travel claim and reimbursement. It connects the HR process and systems to assure flawless management and business activities.

The world is becoming independent by using automated cloud-based HRMS to make their HR tasks accessible anywhere, anytime without any efforts. Do you still wish to manage your HR and Payroll Software through spreadsheets and keep bundles of papers piled up

Let us go through following questions to have an idea of the difference between manual or automated:

Is your HR system integrated with Payroll or still managing spreadsheets?

Do you have leave and attendance, travel/expense, statutory compliance and performance management systems integrated with your payroll system?

Manual:

Are you still managing payroll through spreadsheets and keep bundles of papers for maintaining data? If yes, then you might be facing lots of problems while managing spreadsheets, as it is very tedious and complex process.

It also requires more time to make sure that your payroll process is done successfully. As data is entered manually, there is more chance of generating errors in calculations.

You need to calculate working hours of employees, overtime hours, total days present, measure performance, manage statutory compliance, maintain cheques, etc., while processing payroll manually.

A single person can not handle this task alone which requires more human resources. Employees cannot get their salary slip by themselves, so compulsory HR department has to get involved to address such small day-to-day activities.

Automated:

Cloud-based HRMS has all HR and Payroll functions integrated with other systems. Here all required data are fetched from the system directly. It does not take time to process payroll and almost no chance of generating errors as all calculations are done automatically.

No need to verify data every time you process. Calculation of all statutory compliance is done along with Payroll. Not only that but with cloud-based HRMS, employees can generate and access their payslip anytime, anywhere.
