SEEKONK, Mass., Jan. 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- DaimlerChrysler Research & Technology North America Inc. ("DaimlerChrysler") has implemented an on-demand solution from iEmployee, a leading provider of Workforce Management solutions, to solve their payroll difficulties. DaimlerChrysler's progress from a manual Time & Attendance system to an on-demand system was recently highlighted in the January issue of Trillium Consulting Group's Payroll-Connect titled, "Application Service Providers Help Companies Increase Bottom Line."
Previously, DaimlerChrysler was manually collecting their time and attendance from five locations across the country. Not only was this inefficient for employees, but a source of immense frustration for their HR (Payroll) Manager, Jessica Mansfield. The manual collection of information was time consuming and so was the manual calculation of the complex California overtime rules. A solution was needed; however, the solution needed to automate the process and not require a large IT/cost investment. Fortunately, DaimlerChrysler found a vendor, iEmployee, that met all their requirements.
Jessica Mansfield says, "The beauty of the on-demand ... solution is that employees can log on to the system with just an Internet connection and a browser. Furthermore, iEmployee's system ... automatically calculate(s) overtime rules. Management and employees ... (now have an) efficient way of capturing, approving and communicating time and attendance; thus, speeding up the payroll process with fewer problems and errors."
DaimlerChrysler has realized numerous benefits since implementation. One benefit mentioned is that the payroll process has been streamlined; significantly reducing the time and errors that were involved with the manual process. Not only has DaimlerChrysler reduced expenses, but productivity has increased company-wide. Jessica estimates productivity has increased 25% to 30%! These results may not be common for a standard solution, but iEmployee is known for its ability to tackle complex client demands while maintaining an above average level of customer satisfaction as shown by DaimlerChrysler.
