INTROUCTION:
Castle’s Family Restaurant is a rather small chain of family owned restaurants located in northern California which employs between 300-340 employees. Most of the employees work part time, and only about 40 percent work full time. Mr. Jay Morgan acts as the operations manager as well as HR manager, which requires him to travel to each location in order to take care of the recruiting, hiring, and also answer any questions that employees may have, and other responsibilities that are required for every day operations of each restaurant like counting money, bank deposits, reviewing financial transactions, monitor budget (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013). He is also responsible for payroll, for which he uses Excel spreadsheet combined with a computer application to print the payroll checks for employees. Mr. Morgan is in need to reduce his travel time and costs, be more efficient in his HR and payroll tasks, as well as having more time for his operations manager tasks.
IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS:
From this information, I could identify various problems that could be alleviated by they use of an HRIS program. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the need of use of papers like employees’ manuals, being able to retain employees, maintain former, current, and potential employees information within reach and safe, training employees, be able to manage schedules more efficiently as it changes each week for everyone, hiring, keep payroll and benefits up to date, having records of the needs for ordering foods and having it in stock, as well as inventory. Another problem is the time that takes him to put the information for each employee individually into Excel as well as printing each one a check from a single source.
Another goal is to offer and provide Mr. Morgan with a comprehensive range of tools which will help him gain better control and insight of the business’
