Emap outsources HR, payroll

Emap has outsourced all human resources (HR), payroll and benefits delivery to NorthgateArinso as part of its wider strategic plan to outsource all IT, finance and HR services, enabling the firm to focus on its objectives for growth, reports Employee Benefits UK.

Key elements of the outsourced package include self-service, which enables staff to manage their own affairs, from booking holidays to reporting sickness.

Managers are then encouraged to take responsibility for following HR procedures in their own teams, using the self-service functionality, which is supported with an advice line.

United Bank in Pakistan has successfully completed the implementation of Oracle applications, says Daily Times.

This includes Oracle E-Business Suite Human Resource Management System, Oracle Payroll and Oracle General Ledger, in a record time of nine months.

Oracle Certified Advantage Partner IBM Global Business Services completed the implementation that provides automated HR management, payroll and financial processing capabilities.

iEmployee and Atlantic HR Solutions announced a partnership that will provide businesses a "one-stop-shop" for HR services and time and attendance solutions, says PRWeb.

Through this partnership, iEmployee and Atlantic HR Solutions are providing organisations with expert services and proven technology to automate the numerous, and often time-consuming, tasks associated with not only hiring, retaining and terminating employees but also with tracking time and attendance for accurate payroll processing.

"The partnership with Atlantic HR Solutions exemplifies iEmployee's continued focus and success on building the company's indirect channel with industry leaders," said Nate Pruitt, VP of sales and marketing for iEmployee.

Xchanging and Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS) will be forming a strategic alliance for the delivery of end-to-end HR services, according to Business Wire.

The partnership will enable organisations to access a broad portfolio of separate or “bundled” HR services.

“This is an interesting development for the HR outsourcing marketplace, offering customers a single point of contact for a broader range of HR services. This is proving to be a key sourcing consideration for some organisations given the current economic circumstances as buyers look to reduce operating costs and internal management overheads by consolidating HRO supply,” said Helen Neale, head of HRO practice at NelsonHall, the BPO experts.
