Implementing HR series

Has anyone out there ever been through an implementation of the HR functionality in GP? I am talking about the HR functionality available in the starter pack, without payroll. How many hours did it take? Was there a lot of training required?

I am new to the module and haven't yet implemented it.

Thanks,

Mike

I have been through a handful of HR only implementations, without trying to use a standard "it depends" answer, it really does depend on how much of the HR module you plan to implement. Some questions to consider include: 1. How many employees do you plan to import into GP? 2. Do you plan on importing historical information? 3. Are you using all HR modules or only some? (Licenses, Certification, Training etc.) 4. Of the modules you are planning to use, do you plan on bringing in historical information?

My experience has been that the real power of the HR module comes in the reporting aspect - Some questions to ask include 1. What are the reporting requirements? Will Smartlist suffice, or Smartlist Builder? 3. Are there any SSRS reports that need to be written?

If you have a quick learner I believe the training required for the HR module is comparable to training someone how to use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable. This will vary based on who is being trained and how in depth you plan on using the HR module.
