IR Administrator

Industrial Relations is a minefield of legislation that can create havoc for the un-initiated. The net result is that organisations have to spend a fortune on training line managers to acquire an area of expertise that does not relate directly to their operational productivity and efficiency.

One of the biggest problems for most organisations is that their disciplinary rules are not applied consistently and fairly resulting in unnecessary and costly trips to the CCMA. And as soon it is apparent that the result of a disciplinary action has an element of procedural or substantive unfairness to it, the employer will lose!

IR Administrator helps to resolve these problems. The Disciplinary Builder allows you to define the nature and severity of each offence that would result in a disciplinary action and to specify the type of warning that must accompany that action.

Once the system has been customised by you to cover each, agreed upon, disciplinary action and process, even your most junior employee will be empowered to successfully handle a disciplinary enquiry.

IR Administrator ensures that all the data is captured at source so all your information is up to date all the time. And the more workstations and office locations you have the greater the benefit!

Who needs it?

Any organisation that has employees will be able to benefit from IR Administrator. Small organisations benefit from its pre-installed rules and processes whilst larger employers will love the ease with which they can customise the system to meet their specific needs. And best of all - no files can ever go missing - once the data is in the system it is there forever. A full history is maintained of every grievance and disciplinary action.

Features and benefits of IR Administrator?

On line hand holding ensures consistency, accuracy, fairness and transparency

Clearly established disciplinary rules and procedures allows for the delegation of responsibility for dealing with disciplinary breaches whilst at the same time ensuring consistency in the disciplinary processes and procedural and substantive fairness at all times. This yields increasing levels of satisfaction amongst employees and fewer visits to the CCMA.

Complete flexibility

IR Administrator allows each organisation to create its own rule set. Although it comes pre-packaged with a number of suggested rules and related processes, each one can be modified or deleted. It is also a simple task to add new rules allowing full customisability of the system to meet your exact requirements. You don't have to do what some foreign system designer thinks you should do - you can do it your way!

Incorporate up-to-date information

As an integrated part of our entire HRIS suite we help you ensure that your employee data is always up to date. And because it is just a part of a much bigger whole it's really comforting to know that all your data resides in one database so no matter where you look at it from its always consistent.

Simplify reporting and communication

IR Administrator allows authorised personnel to view the status of any action at any time thereby eliminating the frustration of needing information and having to wait weeks to get it. Records are always up to date and available. In addition, when linked with our HR Scorecard, it is a simple matter for management ot get a corporate or divisional overview of the things like the number and status of cases within the organisation.

Electronic Self Service

Electronic Self Service underpins the entire HRM&D product suite. It facilitates 24 x 7 on-line access enabling employees to view the status of any action involving them.

Workflow

Linked to the Electronic Self Service the Workflow functionality within the suite keeps track of everything that requires authorisation or notification. Routing outcomes to superiors happens automatically, as does the "reminder" process thereby ensuring that all interested parties are kept up to date at all times.
