HR Portal/Time Entry Software

Executive Summary/Product Overview

Strategic IT Services has developed a software tool, the employee services portal (ESP) application internally with the following key purposes and functions:

1) First, the HR Portal is used by employees at Strategic Careers to track timesheets, log vacation, and enter time-off for holidays, illness or other reasons.

Secondly, it is used by employees (contract consultants, primarily in IT) of Strategic IT Services who are on assignment with companies, also for the purposes of tracking timesheets, vacation, holidays, sick days, etc.

2) In addition, there is an employee self-service module where users have unique logon and password access, 24 hours a day and are able to access their timesheet information and obtain overview benefit information and benefit forms.  It is especially useful for employees to query their vacation time to track how much vacation has accrued in their vacation bank versus vacation time taken.  This functionality of employee self service inquiries is a key differentiator with competitive time tracking management solutions.

3) In addition, management users approve employee timesheets for their own employees and can pull reports daily, weekly, or monthly, which summarizes their employees' time worked.  Management reporting capabilities are used both by Strategic Careers management and clients (status reports). 

In summary, HR Portal is web based, with a user friendly, intuitive interface, and provides a centralized process for vacation logging, with the ability for employees to individually log-on (employee self service), as well as management to pull reports.  One differentiator is that management users at client sites can approve timesheets for Strategic IT Services employees; as such, the system allows both internal and external users.  The application is secure and reliable as it has successfully been operating for one year.  Further, it is scalable.

It automates processes for tracking time worked and vacation, reducing inaccuracies and improving efficiencies over manual, paper based systems.

Future functionality which is being designed and built includes expense tracking and invoicing.

Further, the HR portal has a job application function, which is useful for posting job openings and submitting job applications electronically.
