The Interlake Regional Health Authority implemented a new Payroll and Staff Scheduling solution called Quadrant HR™ within their region located in Manitoba, Canada.

In January 2006, Interlake began paying their 1,200 employees, located at 9 separate sites, using the Quadrant HR™ Payroll module. In the past, each location was responsible for producing payroll separately through a service bureau provider. They looked to QHR Software Inc. and their unique Quadrant HR™ solutions to help them realize productivity gains and improve cost controls through the use of unique HRMS technology.

Selkirk Hospital, an acute care facility within the region, is also 'live' with Quadrant HR™ Staff Scheduling.

Jackie Burzuik, Staffing Coordinator at Selkirk General Hospital says "I really like the timecard process. In our old scheduling system, every time I needed to make a change to an employees schedule, for example for meal breaks or if an employee stayed 30 minutes past their shift, I had to go into their individual timecard to update. I did this several times a day. But, with Quadrant HR™ I can make changes directly on the schedule with no need to manually update timecards. All schedule changes are instantly added to timecards which is so much easier and faster. Overall, once you get the hang of the it, it's just an easier system to work in."

The Staff Scheduling module is currently implemented at over 50% of their regional scheduling units with the remaining units going 'live' by Fall 2006.

South Eastman Health has 3 Acute Care Hospitals, 1 Corporate Office and 6 Community Offices in the south-eastern region of Manitoba and provides health care and services to 55,000 people.

Quadrant HR™ Staff Scheduling has helped them to:
- standardize their scheduling process
- centralize scheduling
- decrease labour requirements for the scheduling function
- decrease timesheet entry by 50%

"We now feel confident that the scheduler is paying employees properly," says Teri Kindrat, Labour Relations Officer "and we have made quantum leaps in data confidence versus before."

QHR Software Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Quadrant HR™ 2.6. While this release offers many perfective enhancements for payroll, reporting, scheduling and human resources functionality, customers will benefit from the following new features:

Life Insurance gender smoking grid
A new method has been developed to calculate Optional Life and Spousal Life Insurance based on a grid structure relating to employee and employee status attributes, including age, gender, and whether the employee or spouse is a smoker or a non-smoker. The deduction is applied in relation to a coverage level selected by the employee.

New timecard event method - Applied Premium
A new timecard event method allows a client to specify a premium for an earning through a time card event rather than having to manually add the premium at the timecard level. This may be used in scenarios where a premium amount is required on an earning code for which the earning code is pensionable but the premium amount is not. This method generates a premium transaction based on the timecard entry to
which it is associated.

New Excel functionality for WYSIWYG and pooled employee reports available directly from schedules
A new pooled employee report is available, and is useful for identifying the right person to call in for a shift. The report uses one-click Excel integration in order to create a seniority call-in report, which is the same as the unit schedule, only it includes availability. A New Excel button for creating schedule reports directly from the open schedule screen view delivers powerful WYSIWYG reporting.

Transaction Server Reports
Version 2.6 of Quadrant HR contains Transaction Server Report capability. In previous versions, Transaction Reporting was available only in Client Reports. The new Transaction Reports combine all of the functionality of the original Client Reports with the ease of use and flexibility of Server Reports. These report types offer vastly increased performance allowing faster return of data and more flexible filter options.

Full release notes are available exclusively for QHR Software Inc. customers in QHR iSupport.
