Waterbury licensed the software after completing an implementation of Lawson’s Financials and Procurement technologies last July.
Lawson’s human resources (HR) tools will replace the city’s existing paper-based system in order to eliminate the need for manual processes and to automate its core HR functions.
Compliance with complex state and federal reporting requirements hinges on our ability to access timely, accurate HR data, said Jim Haselkamp, director, Human Resources, City of Waterbury. By switching to a web-based HR system, we expect to reduce our administrative costs significantly and improve our strategic decision-making.
The city plans to use Lawson’s Human Resources to improve its information management and speed its payroll processes by removing manual check processing and reconciliation and providing employees with online pay stubs. Enhanced reporting capabilities will also aim to enable HR employees to produce their own customized, role-based reports.
Waterbury expects to complete the implementation by July 1, 2006.
