Knowing that employee data is at the heart of an organization’s knowledge, Vista Human Resources unleashes the power to make that data strategic. The system enables users to create and maintain an organized database of employees, applicants, jobs, and positions. It provides information at the users’ fingertips. In addition to helping record and maintain data, it also provides the ability to easily produce government-mandated reports.
Meanwhile, Vista Benefits provides complete automation of benefits administration from eligibility to enrollment to employee benefits statements. It provides the means to configure eligibility rules, costs for benefit options, as well as the calculations for plan valuations. Once these parameters have been set up, Vista automates customer’s benefit housekeeping by automatically activating or deactivating eligible employee plans, calculating premium changes and automatically setting up deductions. This automation ensures accuracy by removing the human element of maintenance.
On the other hand, the Vista Payroll component provides the capability to run an organization’s payroll in-house or in the cloud, using the power of Vista’s proven payroll engine. It’s focused on its main tasks of calculating pay, creating paychecks, producing payroll registers and federal, state, local and provincial tax reports. Vista’s comprehensive functions automate special requirements for manual checks, check reversal, relocation expenses, mid-pay period pay increases, retroactive pay increases, wage attachments and labor charge overrides.
