I will be starting a new job. The company is currently using paycor as their payroll system. I have read terrible reviews about them. I will be processing payroll for this company on top of HR duties. Should I be intimidated starting this new job because of this?

I admit, I have an easy job and I have great benefits as well as flexibility. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining... But I here I am. I'm an HR specialist in the Midwest and I feel like my team has written me off completely. We are a micro team with our lead position open. Both have been in their roles for 10+ years and refuse to let go tasks. Even with the lead, it was a constant struggle. The business teams I liaised with consistently gave great feedback about working with me and preferred to go directly to me.... This definitely ruffled some feathers apparently... All I was told last year was ..read more

If you've experienced a RIF before (either being in HR running it or impacted as an employee), what is the better way to notify the impacted employees and company as a whole...Would you notify the company first that it's coming and then contact the impacted employees for one-on-one conversations OR tell the impacted employees first and then update the company afterward?

I'm seeking the wisdom of HR because I am part of the culture and change management team, and it's my first time in change management. I've been assigned to a project involving a significant change to the operational accounting model of a bank, which has a profound impact. It has been challenging to make progress on the project because it involves many people, and there is still no definition of KPIs or MoS to measure the impact of the process change. I'm finding it difficult to progress with the counterpart because we have been requesting for months to identify the impacted audience, the pos ..read more

Located in CA. Currently we have a digital Google form for employees to complete ans submit when they are going to be absent. However, after getting out attendance policy reviewed by outside counsel, it was shared that having employees complete the digital Google form is not compliant with the system of CA and having employees use their personal cell phones for work related purposes. So I am reaching out to inquire what other distribution centers/warehouses do to facilitate call offs that's in alignment with CA law? Open to options besides the standard call in and speak to your supervisor. s ..read more

I am in HR for a small company of 60 employees. I am a department of one, but one of the C-suite execs still handles some functions of HR as she held the position before I did. My position is basically a catch-all at this point. I feel taken advantage of, but I also feel I am paid decently and I am allowed to make my own schedule (WFH 4 days a week, in office 1 day a week). I am not sure whether it would be worth it to move on at this point so I am asking what you would do if you are in my shoes. Here are my job responsibilities: - All recruitment functions: Job description development, adver ..read more
