Situation Before Implementing Oracle HCM Cloud

EPB had been working with an antiquated and siloed system for all HR and payroll processes. Performance data was maintained in spreadsheets, making the annual review of goals and performance for every employee a very time-consuming and inefficient endeavor. Adding to the inadequacies, payroll data was maintained in a rudimentary system lacking the ability to perform data validation based on business rules, making biweekly payroll processing nearly impossible and leading to significant employee dissatisfaction, as well as many hours of payroll corrections.
EPB required a solution that would:

  • Eliminate manual HR and payroll methods;
  • Significantly reduce paper processing;
  • Introduce transparency;
  • Include business rules for absences and time & labor;and
  • Enhance the employee experience.
