There are two schools of thought relating to the issue of HR versus payroll systems. One argument is that payroll and HR are separate activities and should be treated as such. The second argument is that:
A) HR does not really require such a system, and to try to coordinate HR activities by using such a system only serves to complicate things.
B) much of the data used in making HR decisions is qualitative and not easily transferred to such a system.
C) payroll systems are best outsourced and HR systems are best kept in-house.
D) HR and payroll systems should be integrated to create and maintain a 'complete' system and to prevent unnecessary duplication of effort.
