Materials Services Division - November 2014

Commission agenda includes a recommendation to purchase a new Human Resources Management System from Paycom.  Replacement of our current system is necessary due to Jim Welch’s retirement. If purchase is approved, the target date for implementation will be April 1 of next year. Departments will be using the online calendar which is part of the package. The system also includes a new performance appraisal module and other features related to employment.  Details are listed in November’s Commission packet.

The next system that must be replaced will cover financials. Business Office has begun work on locating and evaluating possible systems.

MLS will switch over to a new e-mail system on December 13, 2014. Additional information will be coming from the IT department.
