By Graham, on September 26th, 2016 Hi everyone!
The HR & IT team, in conjunction with the management team has been embarking on a new system implementation project, in which we are moving to new systems for our HR/Time and Labour database and also moving to an upgraded enhancement to our Payroll database, ADP – Workforce Now. After an internal audit that took place in 2015, the management team recognized that there was room for improvement and increased efficiency with our current systems. We are excited that these new systems will allow for:
- Enhanced scheduling capabilities
- Enhanced reporting and analytics and documentation storage
- On-line recruitment database and applicant tracking
- Employee Self Service including mobile application
Kronos Workforce Ready, which will be our new Time and Labour and HR database will give us the tools we need to more effectively manage labour costs, minimize compliance risk, and improve workforce productivity. The solutions from Kronos make complete automation and high-quality information a reality.
We have an implementation team that has been working hard on building our new system to ensure that it has all of the functionality that we need. This team will be going through our first phase of testing next week, in which we have selected a small employee group to participate in our first parallel payroll.
What does this mean for you?
You will be receiving training on our new system and asked to participate in a parallel payroll during the month of October, where you will be required to double punch into our current Time and Labour system (Ez-labor) as well as our new Kronos system. We anticipate that this may be needed for up to 2-payroll cycles so that we can ensure a smooth transition to our new, Kronos – Workforce Ready system. Additionally you will be given new log-in information for our ADP system where you can view your pay stubs and T4’s.
Please stay tuned on more to come on this. We appreciate your patience during this time of transition.
Thanks everyone!

By Graham, on September 2nd, 2016 We wanted to confirm that there will not be a Poor Boy’s Luncheon event this year. Last year we celebrated our 30th anniversary, which is amazing to have an event run as long as this one has. We were informed after the event that our long time major sponsor would no longer be able to support us. The committee members also indicated their desire to step down for various reasons. The decision was then made to discontinue the event. We want to thank our long time sponsor Advocis, Golden Triangle Chapter, the committee members (Ron Orr, Sue Ricketts, Sandy Morrow and Brenda Bowen), the Italian Canadian Club, and everyone else for their support and participation in the Poor Boy’s Luncheons over the past 30 years!
