Your HR update - SIMS, EAD and Your HR integration

SIMS, EAD and Your HR integration
Whilst we have had positive feedback from schools who have used the SIMS/Your HR integration through EAD to input their new starters, there are many of you who haven't used it.
We listened to your feedback about the new starter process in Your HR being too long, so before the summer break we rolled out functionality for you to input your new starters via EAD, or we would pull them through from SIMS.
18% of schools who had new starters in September used the new method.
We want the other 82% of you to enjoy the benefits of this new functionality!
Did you know :
- Entering new starters via SIMS or EAD can be done during the payroll lockout?
- Submissions can't be made with missing information so your Payroll Officers have to make less checks before they run the payroll?
- Time and expenses claims can also be entered during the payroll lockout
- As a result we have already reduced the payroll lockout by one day?
Whilst we have already reduced the payroll lockout by one day, it’s to our mutual benefit that all schools use SIMS or EAD because the more that do, the more we may be able to reduce the payroll lockout further.
Emma Woods at Milby Primary School has said;
"The SIMS to Your HR integration via EAD is really good. I have put a number of new starters through this way. It is much quicker, it works really well and it has taken away a lot of stress and duplication".
The EAD User Guide includes everything you need to know and can be found on the WES website under 'My Applications' but it won't work unless you're logged onto WES.
