Third, you can create your own form using the simple form builder within Scissortail

When it is time to bring the new employee onboard, your predefined checklist of forms ensures that all documents are completed.  Different positions may have their own unique checklist. For example, an employee that drives a company vehicle might have additional documents to fill out for their onboarding. 

New hires can receive the link to their employment forms prior to reporting day, allowing to them to complete routine or demographic information early. 

The employee, manager, and HR administrator will have full visibility into pending forms that need to be completed  -- nothing will be left undone.

Performances reviews can have unique versions for job positions, ensuring correct measurement for appropriate KPI’s.  With automated notification, managers will complete and conduct reviews on time.  Many firms have feedback sessions that are conducted monthly, with a summary review once a year.  You decide what aligns with your firms culture.

  • Life Event Changes
  • New hire onboarding

All the tools allow for a paperless process that communicates all selections to payroll for correct deductions and to benefit carriers to establish correct coverages.  No double entry or reconciliations with Scissortail

As each employee completes their open enrollment the status bar on the upper left shows them their progress in the process.  Scissortail walks them through each of benefits your firm is offering.

The employee can ask Scissortail to compare plans should your firm offer multiple choices.  They can compare premiums and deductibles for example. 

The benefit census Insight report sums up for the Benefits Administrator and also provides a graphical presentation of key elements.  

And of course, Scissortail can product a Benefits statement for each employee to fully appreciate the total investment your firm makes on their behalf. 

Payroll

Scissortail has the option of a fully outsourced payroll process.

Once your payroll processing is complete routine reports can be initiated and delivered to you automatically….like this payroll register. 

This Payroll Recap and Funding is a great double check for the Payroll administrator and accounting.  Client’s especially appreciate the general ledger summary and the rolling 12 month payroll view. 

Time and Attendance

Time and attendance is a core feature of Scissortail.  When an employee is added, they are automatically included for time collection and clocking as appropriate.  Same thing on termination.  No double entry of employee information.

This example of a Time and labor management dashboard (or TLM) shows key information related to hours by department, overtime and missing punches.  You can drill down on each graph to view the supporting information.

Clocking in and out is simple.  This screen show the web-punch option.  Scissortail supports web-punch, traditional time clocks, mobile devices, and telephony.  …..or any combination of these

Scissortail TLM provides allows employees to request time off electronically, then the manager is reminded to approve or reject those requests.  Once approved, the request flows to their timecard and the departmental vacation calendar for easy management of future PTO requests. 

Job schedules can be created within Scissortail with automated notification of schedules and changes to employees. 

Scheduling rules can be applied by department, job codes and work days.

This view shows each employee their schedule.  The green plane icon on the 27th show scheduled vacations and holidays. The red icon on the 28th indicates you are not scheduled on a holiday.

Kronos touch screen clocks are leveraged with Scissortail allow employees that do not have computer access the ability to access key functions at the clock…like Fred requesting a day off. 

Clock options include PIN, Biometric, Proximity, or Badges.

Employees can look up PTO balances and request PTO right at the clock.  

Of course, you may also allow employees to clock from a desktop or mobile device….or any combination.  The choices is yours.  

Succession Planning

Preparing for employee transition is a key task for leadership.  Scissortail leverages appropriate data within its single database to assist with succession planning. 

Employees may be targeted for certain positions.  Then HR and operational managers can leverage  reports and dashboard to tack succession readiness and risk of loss.

Employee Self Service

Employee Self Service is not a single or separate module within Scissortail.  Rather, Scissortail was designed for full collaboration with employees, managers and HR & Payroll administrators.  Every module within Scissortail allows appropriate employee security for information access and updates. 

Through the mobile device employees can access their full pay history, update direct deposit amounts and accounts, and view tax forms. 

Looking at employee access from a web page you can see a new hire checklist with instructions on form completion.  From day one of their employment, a paperless process and self-services is encouraged. 

And employees with limited computer or mobile access can use the clocks within your firm for access to key information. 

Amazing Reporting

Reporting with Scissortail can be categorized into four categories

  • Forms governmental reporting requirements
  • Dashboard reporting with drill down capabilities
  • Canned reports built from Insight Explorer that anticipate common HR and reporting needs – over 100 of these are included
  • The ability to create your own reports with Insight Explorer.  This reporting tool is designed for easy use by HR and Payroll professionals

Looking under the payroll menu reports, you will find categories like pay history and labor distribution – on the left.  Drilling down – on the right – in this example pay history, reveals all the canned reports.  Each of the reports can be run by date, department, manager and more, depending on the exact report and then those settings saved if this is a recurring needs. Like the menu on the right for the Benefits.  Here you can see canned reports, ready for use, such as ACA Audit, New Hire Status, and Year to date Amounts paid.

All the canned reports can be tailored by your HR or Payroll staff using Scissortail Insight Explorer

All the reports in Scissortail, like the one shown here can be viewed in this inquiry style, or exported to Excel and other popular formats.  This view or report was created with the Insights Explorer reporting tool.  Using the ellipses on the right

Will open up the Tailoring tools.  No programming skills are required.  Drop down lists provide the fields in proper English name for selection.  Just drag and drop.  

Artificial Intelligence

Historical reporting is always important.  With Scissortail technology we can leverage that history  with artificial intelligence for predictive planning.  You will continue to see part of the system development to grow exponentially.  As consumers of data, especially big data, we are expecting stronger analytical tools 

In this is a typical operational managers dashboard, he can readily see on a daily basis

Flight Risk or employees that may be unhappy due to performance reviews or salary based on geographical pay averages.

Overtime and pay issues let him know BEFORE he is approving timesheets, allowing him to make daily adjustments.

The 9-box view of his teams talent keeps him apprised of training and education needs.

Each of these dashboards allow you to drill down to the supporting information as the manager make tactical decisions. 

In the HR or Payroll dashboard, additional information regarding upcoming events will remind them early to review, via the built in education,  the year-end payroll and tax process or how to prepare for annual benefit enrollment.  Because the system knows when you do your open enrollment, the reminder will come early allowing time for full preparation. 

This drill down on flight risks for a specific employee, Sophia in this example, shows weaknesses in position and education, while her compensation is above average and her longevity with the firm strengthens her overall flight risk.  Now the manager and HR can look at education and related job changes to increase her overall job satisfaction. 

These graphical presentations by employee and department gives each manage clear insight into his department flight risk.

This drill down on flight risk show clearly some of components that AI used in measuring flight risk.  

Insights Alert allow you to create automated notification on any piece of data within your organization.  They can be as simple and thoughtful as an email to a staff member on the employment anniversary date.  They can be very tactical in nature, like notifications of upcoming expiration dates.  Or more strategic in nature like this example letting you know a flight risk has increased to a danger threshold.
