D360: HRM Capstone Task 2
HRIS Implementation Plan
A: Plan for Hiring a HRIS Vendor:
A1: Three advantages the organization gains by using an HRIS vendor to process payroll are
time-saving costs, compliance with laws, and proper data storage. Utilizing a HRIS to facilitate
payroll needs will help streamline the shelters entire process which in return will decrease time
in calculating paychecks, federal tax data, fixing errors made by the current broken clock. The
second advantage of utilizing a HRIS vendor would be maintaining compliance with current and
changing laws. An HRIS can help with accurate processes and reduce human-errors. The third
advantage to the shelter would gain would be that the HRIS vendor would control various data
ensuring confidentiality. Ensuring confidentiality of data would include cybersecurity efforts,
sensitive data and employee records.
A2: Two advantages to employees of utilizing an HRIS vendor to process payroll, would be the
ability to utilize a self-service access platform and receiving timely and accurate
payments. Employees enjoy the consistency and precision provided by an HRIS provider.
With automated payroll systems in place, the chances of errors or delays in paycheck
processing are minimized. Workers can rely on accurate salary or wage calculations and
timely payments, improving their financial management and overall satisfaction.
Additionally, numerous HRIS platforms include employee self-service portals, granting
workers easy access to pay stubs, tax documents, and past payroll records. This feature
allows employees to handle their payroll information independently, reducing the need
to contact HR and saving time for both staff and employees.
3.
The three criteria to consider regarding HRIS product capability are its User Experience (UX)
performances, its ability to integrate with other systems and its overall scalability for
growth. Users, such as employees and its admins should be able to easily use the system
and find resources. The HRIS should effortlessly connect with other software
applications in use, such as payroll, accounting, or performance management tools. This
integration should ensure smooth data transfer between systems, ensure law
compliance and reduces the risk of manual data entry mistakes. The HRIS should be
capable of supporting a growing workforce, adapting to shifts in organizational structure,

, and offering flexibility to accommodate your specific HR processes as the company
develops.
4. Explain three key considerations when selecting an HRIS technology vendor.
Three key considerations when selecting an HRIS technology vendor are the vendors
reputation, the costs and how easy the system is to navigate for employees. The shelter
will need to consider past vendor reviews and proven processes that align with the
shelter’s needs. Second, the shelter must consider the overall costs of the selected HRIS
vendor. This includes upfront costs, annual or time-time fees, and scaling potential.
Lastly the shelter will need to consider how east the software is for the employees to use.
Will this system streamline processes or if will it cost more to train an complex program.
5. Describe two potential risks that need to be addressed as the company implements an
HRIS.
Two potential risks that need to be addressed as the company implements an HRIS are external
data security and integration challenges. HRIS platforms store critical employee information,
such as personal data, payroll details, and health records. Without proper security protocols in
place, there is a risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, or leaks, which could lead to legal
issues and damage to the organization's reputation. To prevent such risks, implementing strong
encryption, conducting regular security audits, and enforcing access restrictions are essential.
Integrating the HRIS with other systems, like payroll, time tracking, and other business software,
can be challenging. If the integration process isn't smooth, it may result in data discrepancies,
errors, or inefficiencies. Therefore, it is important to assess system compatibility and plan
thorough integration testing to ensure seamless data transfer across platforms. OR
1. Data Security and Privacy Risks
When implementing an HRIS, sensitive employee information—such as social security numbers,
salaries, and performance evaluations—will be stored digitally. This creates a risk of data
breaches or unauthorized access. To address this, the company should implement strong
security measures, including encrypted data storage, secure login protocols, role-based access
controls, and regular security audits to ensure compliance with data protection regulations like
GDPR or local privacy laws.
2. System Adoption and User Resistance
Employees and HR staff may resist using the new system due to unfamiliarity, fear of change, or
perceived complexity. This can lead to underutilization or errors in data entry. To mitigate this
risk, the company should provide comprehensive training, clear communication about the
