Manage Data for Strategic Planning and Decision Making

As a government HR professional, you need accurate data for planning and decision-making. However, often the data you have is wrong or incomplete. Without accurate information, you are unable to effectively plan for budgeting, staffing, payroll and other essential government and quality of life services.

Managing data for strategic planning and decision making should not be so complex. StarGarden’s HR and Payroll solution for government allows you to:

SAVE TIME

When employees enter their own time, payroll staff saves time. Data entered at the source is more complete and accurate, and frees payroll staff for more valuable work, such as analysis.
StarGarden’s workflows make sure you have the right resource for the task with the proper authority and competency, all online through an easy to use web-based user interface.

REDUCE COMPLEXITY

With integrated payroll, scheduling and budgeting, StarGarden provides the single source for all your HCM and Payroll needs.

COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS WITH EASE

The web interface and web based workflows makes it easy to complete many procedures including hiring, terminating, scheduling, and transferring. Roles can be defined with different authority for proper routing of workflows.

Labor costs are often one of the largest line items on a municipality’s or county’s yearly budget, yet many organizations struggle with being able to reconcile actual labor costs with their budgeted costs.

For management to have that kind of finely tuned information to make relevant decisions, it is crucial that payroll data be detailed and accurate.

Intelligent Workflow that understands you!

Our workflow adapts to changes in your organization. Automatically, using knowledge  already in your HCM and other applications.


Our workflow technology stack focuses on decision-making:

  1. Every organization has people ... before anything else, there needs to be a founder, an investor, a manager or even an idea in someone's head
  2. People make decisions that drive the organization ..nothing happens without decisions
  3. People making decisions need both authority and competency:
    • "authority" defines what a person is allowed to decide.  This is usually delegated formally from the top of an organization
    • "competencies" are the enabling attributes required to make a decision such as  qualifications, skills, finance etc.

Our processes, our UI, our logic and your data is controlled by our authority and competency framework.  Everything enabled by our technology is by qualified people with defined authority ... in other words, done right.

What is a Federation?

  • a federation is a collection of communities and users.  
  • a user is an identity
  • a community is a structured (or unstructured) collection of positions and roles such as an organization, a city, a company, a board, etc.
  • authorities are inherited according to the community structure

Why authorities and not roles?

  • roles are generally not delegable. Users can be included or excluded in a role but the user is not able to self-remove or self-subscribe
  • authorities are more granular and can be delegable if allowed 
  • delegable authorities are inherited by default according to the community structure 
  • a user inheriting a collection of authorities can on-delegate those authorities collectively or separately to different objects including positions, a role or a  user.
  • authorities delegated outside the formal structure are are informal authorities ... or simply trust relationships.

What does Federation Server do

  • positions inherit, or are assigned, formal authorities which are automatically inherited by incumbents
  • authorities can be delegated from the position to other positions.
  • inherited authorities can be delegable or not
  • if a position delegates any authorities, the delegating position remains accountable and can follow any actions incurred
  •  a workflow "event" is initiated with a "request" from a user (or an automation) 
  • A user (or automation) can initiate an event "on behalf" of another user
  • an event arrives at the next step and is visible on the dashboard as a "task" 
  • tasks can have escalation rules with due dates, minimum or maximum
