Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability. — Edsger Dijkstra
Exciting times. The newest Immedis Platform release has just dropped. We’ve been busy working on these enhancements for months now, and it feels good to be able to say here you go, welcome to an even better user experience.
There are a lot of changes, all focused and borne out of a shared goal - to keep it simple. We know that global payroll is a complex, nuanced process, one that keeps everyone on their toes. We know too, that customers rely on our solution to make this process as smooth and efficient as possible. As we bring everyone along on our mission to transform global payroll, we aim to constantly evolve and refine our solution so that organizations can optimize workforce analytics, plan for the future secure in the knowledge that employees are getting paid accurately and on time.
Before I share some of the latest update highlights, I want to remind customers that the Immedis Academy is loaded with insights and training on all the changes. Please contact your CEP if you are not registered and get access to this beneficial resource right away.
What changes can customers expect?
Given the amount of movement of employees, we also turned out attentions to Joiners & Leavers. Here are some key changes to note:
For better mapping of Absence Codes and multiple automations there’s new self-service management. For example, a universal code for sick leave can now be mapped to a sick leave code for a particular country. In addition, a number of codes can now exist for different types of sick leave, such as paid sick leave, unpaid sick leave, and so on.
For customers with Workday as their HCM, all adaptors are now aligned to create a single integration to fit all countries, delivering a single complete view of HR and payroll’s symbiotic relationship.
Employees can now access their Immedis payslip within Workday. Payslips no longer need to be uploaded to Workday, and they are still available in the Immedis Platform.
At its core, global payroll is about getting employees paid. As your global payroll provider, our job is to help facilitate this, and our latest upgrade greatly supports this.
Added a new capability to the Employee Self-Service feature
Employees can now enter their related people - whether their spouse or dependents directly into the system. This saves payroll administrators time and helps improve the accuracy of employees’ personal data.
SFTP Bank Files
You can now send these files without the need for anyone to touch them to your bank or financial teams. This removes payroll from having to be involved at this level and subsequently improves efficiencies and security.
Customers can now also run reports that illustrate usage- particularly helpful for Finance and CFOs- that show number of wire fees and documents processed.
Analytics Only Run Type
Several customers are already using this service; please speak to your CEP for more information.
