� Completed Needs

Assessment with HRIS Task

Force

� Evaluated 6 HRIS vendors

� Signed contract with

chosen vendor – Ceridian’s

Dayforce product

Notable Honors

� A huge shout out to the

HRIS Task Force for their

participation and feedback

on identifying campus

needs and reviewing

vendors

� Thank you to the IT Team

for your terrific

commitment to partnering

with HR/Payroll on this

project!

Albright currently uses a web-based

product, hosted by a company called

Ceridian, to track employee

information and process payroll. The

current system has no self-service

functionality for employees, lacks

benefits integration, and does not

have the ability to create customized

reports for managers and Cabinet. In

addition, higher education presents

certain HR and payroll intricacies that

need to be addressed in the system.

Albright‘s goal is to find an adaptable

Human Resource Information System

(HRIS) that can mesh with other

campus information as well as

streamline and report on all of our

employment and payroll data.

Steering Committee

The HRIS Steering Committee consists

of members from the HR, Payroll,

Finance, and IT departments.

HRIS Task Force

In addition, a Task Force was also

created representing constituents

from areas all across campus. This

group has worked with us to identify

needs specific to their departments

and viewed several demonstrations to

select the most qualified vendor.

Welcome to the “game” of navigating a system change. The College is excited to announce a new HR

and payroll system project that will affect every employee on campus – including student employees.

By working together we can plan, strategize and successfully win the game of change!

the major checkpoints that need

to be conquered. Join us as we

navigate the changes, the

excitement, and the inevitable

challenges that we will face in this

mission. Each segment of our

Where Are We Now?

CURRENT STRATEGYCURRENT STRATEGYCURRENT STRATEGYCURRENT STRATEGY –

Discovery Fortress

The Steering Committee and

certain campus representatives

will be meeting with the Dayforce

Implementation Team in the

coming weeks for a process called

“Discovery”. This important step

allows us to transfer our current

knowledge to them and enables

us to look for ways that the new

system can accommodate our

needs, automate manual

processes, and make our entire

system seamless and easy to use!

NEXT MOVENEXT MOVENEXT MOVENEXT MOVE –

Process Improvement Islands

The next extremely important

task is to look at ways to upgrade

our processes. A few of the

critical activities that we will be

researching and striving to

improve:

*Position requisitions

*Student Employment

*Tuition Remission Process

*Onboarding/Exiting Employees

*Special Payment Authorizations
