How ProLiant Helps Healthcare Organizations Manage HR and Payroll

Healthcare organizations have unique workforce management needs. From complex schedules and varying shifts to payroll compliance, benefits administration, and employee data, managing HR and payroll can become complicated quickly.

ProLiant provides an integrated, cloud-based HCM platform designed to help healthcare organizations simplify HR and payroll while improving accuracy and visibility. ProLiant specifically supports physician practices, extended care facilities, and other healthcare organizations with workforce management tools built around the industry's needs.

What HR and Payroll Challenges Do Healthcare Organizations Face?

Healthcare employers often manage employees who work different shifts, locations, pay rates, and schedules. This can make tracking time, calculating payroll, managing benefits, and maintaining employee records more difficult.

Healthcare organizations may also have additional compliance and reporting requirements. For example, certain senior care and long-term care organizations need accurate workforce data for Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) reporting. ProLiant provides tools designed to help healthcare organizations manage workforce information and reporting requirements.

An effective healthcare HR and payroll solution should help organizations:

• Accurately track employee hours and schedules
• Process payroll efficiently
• Manage employee records in one system
• Simplify benefits administration
• Support compliance and reporting
• Reduce manual HR processes
• Give employees and managers convenient self-service tools
• Integrate workforce and payroll data
  
  

How Does ProLiant Help Healthcare Organizations?

ProLiant combines HR, payroll, time and labor management, benefits administration, recruiting, onboarding, and other workforce tools within an integrated HCM platform. This helps healthcare organizations reduce the need to manage employee information across disconnected systems.

1. Simplify Healthcare Payroll

Payroll accuracy is particularly important in healthcare environments where employees may work different shifts, overtime, locations, and pay rates.

ProLiant's payroll solution provides payroll processing, verification testing, reporting, and support for additional payroll runs. Managers can also approve hours and make real-time employee information updates.

By connecting payroll with HR and time data, organizations can reduce manual data entry and create a more consistent payroll process.

2. Manage Employee Time and Labor

Healthcare organizations need visibility into when and where employees are working.

ProLiant Time helps healthcare organizations manage schedules, time tracking, approvals, and labor information. Its healthcare industry solution specifically addresses shift schedules and compliance, allowing managers to spend less time managing workforce administration and more time focusing on their operations.

3. Support Healthcare Compliance and Reporting

Compliance is an important consideration when selecting healthcare HR and payroll software.

ProLiant helps organizations manage payroll and HR processes while supporting industry-specific reporting requirements. For example, ProLiant supports Affordable Care Act reporting, including the generation and filing of Forms 1094-C and 1095-C.

4. Centralize HR and Benefits Administration

Healthcare organizations can manage employee information, benefits, documents, PTO, and other HR activities through ProLiant's HR and benefits administration tools.

Employees can access benefits and payroll information, make benefit elections, and submit time-off requests. HR teams can centralize employee documents and monitor benefits enrollment.

Centralizing this information can make it easier for HR teams and employees to find the information they need without relying on multiple systems.

5. Improve Employee and Manager Self-Service

Healthcare managers and employees don't always have time to rely on HR for routine administrative tasks.

ProLiant provides employee and manager self-service capabilities that allow employees to access paystubs, W-2s, benefits information, PTO balances, and other HR information. Managers can approve hours and PTO requests, manage employee information, and access reporting tools.

These tools can reduce administrative tasks for HR while giving employees greater access to their own information.

6. Connect Healthcare Workforce Systems

Healthcare organizations may already use specialized workforce management systems for scheduling, time tracking, or employee engagement.

ProLiant supports integrations that allow employee, payroll, time, and labor data to move between systems. One example is ProLiant's integration with OnShift, which connects workforce management information with ProLiant's HR and payroll systems for senior care and long-term care organizations.

Integrations can help reduce duplicate data entry and provide greater visibility into workforce and labor information.

What Should Healthcare Organizations Look for in HR and Payroll Software?

When evaluating healthcare HR and payroll software, organizations should consider whether the platform can support their specific workforce structure and compliance requirements.

Important capabilities include:

Payroll: Accurate payroll processing, tax services, payroll reporting, and payroll audits.

Time and labor management: Tools for tracking hours, schedules, overtime, PTO, and approvals.

HR management: Centralized employee records, documents, workflows, and employee self-service.
