To further simplify the time-consuming task of prequalifying job candidates, the advent of the Internet has inspired tools that sort resumes according to skills and experience, leaving a narrowed pool of prospects who meet your needs. You can securely collect payroll data from remote offices or mobile employees or send payroll data to a Web-capable payroll processing service. ASPs let you access centralized software over the Web for a monthly fee. Cumbersome printed forms can be moved on line for easier distribution, centralized storage, and reduced costs. Employees can review and modify benefit information on line, giving them greater control and reducing the burden on HR staff.
Internet makes it simpler to communicate and access company policy from anywhere in the business.
Policy guidelines become online resources, easier and less costly to update than printed manuals. Web-based time clocks enable your business to track employee hours, with a flexible range of added detail about project and location, for centralized timekeeping and related payroll activities. In addition, emerging Internet-based benefits marketplaces allow even small employers to offer their workers a rich set of benefit options. The services aggregate employees into larger groups that qualify for better pricing on insurance and other benefits that give small and medium-sized businesses an edge in attracting and retaining employees. Companies can choose predesigned courses or partner with Web education specialists to develop customized lessons.
