We had two concurrent systems for tracking employee accruals of Vacation and Sick time; first by ADP and second by our own internal spreadsheet(s). We kept these spreadsheets because our data were held captive by ADP and the separate spreadsheets allowed us choose another vendor when it served our purposes.
We had a complicated system of apportioning Vacation and Sick time dependent upon an employee's length of time with the company and some other factors such as region. As an added wrinkle, there were actually two accounting methods of time-accrual; a 360-day year and a 365-day year (with leap years - 366 days).
Our spreadsheet was fragile and vulnerable to overwriting (of cells & formulas) by the end-user. So in addition to being able to sever ties with ADP, we needed a more robust and resilient tool so our payroll staff wouldn't produce incorrect pay stubs.
We commissioned blackstone digital with this project. They delivered the project on time and on budget. In fact, blackstone digital found a small miscalculation in our own spreadsheets and through ADP. Unbeknownst to us, we were actually giving away a little extra vacation to each and every employee. All told, this small amount we'd been giving away added up to several hundreds of dollars and almost exactly offset what we paid to commission the database. This was in essence found-money and so through the exceptional diligence of blackstone digital our costs were near zero to have a SUPERIOR solution to the spreadsheet(s)! Of course, going forward, we weren't giving away extra benefits without our knowledge.
Thanks blackstone digital!
