Payroll/HR Survey

HR Surprise

I would like to know how many of you ("HR People")combine the duties of HR and payroll. Where I work, payroll is part of the finance department, although the payroll person does benefits too - so 50% her time is alloted to HR. We are looking at getting an automated timekeeping system and the Accounting Supervisor wants to separate HR duties from payroll. I maintain that that would create duplicate work...i.e. tracking correct FMLA, etc. designations on timecards, attendance and tardiness issues, etc.

I'd really like to know how all of you handle the payroll/HR issue.

Thank you!

Here payroll ia an Accounting funstion. HR submits changes to PR, approves payment of vacation, personal, sick and any other relevant personnel matters. The payroll person (PP) inputs time card information on a daily basis. Our PR is in-house and tied to our job costing system. I have created several reports that PP processes for me as a check and balance to ensure recordkeepping is correct.
