Payce: Simplifying Complex Payroll and HR Tasks

The ability to reduce duplicate HR data entry across disparate systems that don’t communicate with each other is a need of every organization. Another big requirement in the HR management space is employee self-service portals. “Ten years ago, payroll administrators performed all employee maintenance and data entry. Today, they are looking for ways to include the employee in the management of their own data,” says Josh Lindenmuth, CIO, Payce, Inc. Addressing these needs is one of Towson, MD-based Payce’s goals. Doing so not only ensures a single version of data across disparate HR systems by enabling communication between them, but also enables employees to update their information, make leave pay requests, review documents, and more by offering self-service portals.

The online payroll solution of Payce, MyPayCenter, is a simple, intuitive web-based payroll solution that enables organizations to enter payroll online, in just a few simple steps, at any time from any location. “Almost all of our other features and services are extensions of MyPayCenter,” affirms Lindenmuth. The product is built on the idea of creating a full-service product offered with the simplicity of self-service products. Each client is configured as a standalone entity, and is customized to meet the employer’s needs.

Payce provides more than two dozen ancillary services, such as time and attendance integration, workers’ compensation pay as you go services, background checks, poster compliance, applicant tracking integration, and HR support.Many of these ancillary services are targeted at reducing double entry and extra work–for example, the time and attendance integration eliminates the need for payroll administrators to re-key employee hours in the payroll system.

MyPayCenter easily integrates with applicant tracking software and imports applicant data with built-in processes, eliminating the need for organizations to enter new hires manually.For instance, a chain restaurant was opening a couple of new stores, and hiring over a hundred employees in a few weeks using a completely new applicant tracking software product.
