The personnel related data is tightly linked to the payroll data but is related to non fiscal data and reporting. The system produces EEO and other statistical reports that are necessary to manage hiring and fringe benefits administration. The two systems work collaboratively so that personnel can begin the process of adding new employees and their non payroll information. This establishes the new employee but it is left to payroll to supply payroll and financial data to complete the employee records. System security is structured so that personnel can have access to those data elements that are related to hiring, reviews, statistical and demographic, and fringe benefits while shielding sensitive payroll and compensation data.
