Background and Business Challenges
This NCR based Manufacturing Company had been in business for over 35 years and with time the company grew to a size of almost 2000 employees across India. Shortly after joining the firm in 2014, their new CFO quickly identified three critical challenges within the organization which needed to be quickly addressed.
Payroll.
The processing and production of payroll was being handled by a Payroll agency. This agency was charging exorbitant fees for the preparation of payroll, electronic tax deposits, quarterly tax returns, annual tax returns etc. Despite the excessive fees, the Payroll agency had manual processes for tracking vacation, sick and other time off, and the organization constantly found itself requesting information that was unavailable.
Medical Benefits.
Any questions, clarifications or employee health benefit issues needed to be handled by an external vendor or directly with the insurance company. All of the health plan administration was being managed through the organization’s accounting department. This process was extremely time consuming and did not provide them with accurate results. “The process caused a great deal of stress to all employees within the company.
Employee Management.
Lacking a dedicated personnel department, the company did not have proper Human Resources systems established. Employee termination issues were not handled properly, many employees’ exempt vs. non-exempt statuses were questionable, and employee personnel files were in disarray.
