Union agreement renegotiations means updating complex calculations for payroll :

Haldimand County has large number of union based employees. As Haldimand grows its workforce and its agreements get renegotiated, the need for more flexible, complex calculations for payroll increases.

The HR department at Haldimand has to:

• Ensure payroll abides by new union contracts
• Calculate retroactive payments for payroll that are back dated to some contract expiration
• Set up new rules in the system
• Maintain old rules to process retroactive payments

How StarGarden helps Haldimand’s HR for unionized workforce management

• StarGarden HCM 5.0 helps manage both the new rules and the old payroll rules so retroactive payments are possible
• StarGarden’s position-based system means each position has set of HR and payroll rules, so organizations don’t have to limit resources to a single job definition. People and positions are identified separately and united when a person performs a certain job under certain parameters
• StarGarden system assists with pay changes every time the County’s agreement with its unions are up for renegotiation
• StarGarden allows Haldimand to put in the data the way they need it and then analyze it using the embedded adhoc report writer

Haldimand’s payroll team is now able to spend more time on strategic activities rather than having to troubleshoot difficulties in correctly implementing new pay structures.
