Sage 100

Company on Sage 100 v4.5. I was wondering if someone can provide some information about the HR Module that Sage offers. I don't have any customers that use it. Better yet, does anyone know of any other HR programs that work with Sage 100? They received some initial quotes from Sage and it seems quite pricey.... and maybe overkill for this company. Thanks for any information you can pass along.

@ShawnSlavin does a lot of Sage HRMS. Presented a session at MOTM 2014 on the topic. Most small companies do think the module is pricey......... Pricing is based on the active employees, not module based. It can really climb to the stratosphere. But you get what you pay for.

If they have the Payroll module, you can create some pretty elaborate HR Tabs using Custom Office

Are they after the HR Module (benefits, etc) or the Payroll? The HRMS Payroll module is particularly beneficial in multi-state situations, and companies with PTO.

@JerryNorman They are using the Sage 100 ERP standard edition payroll module, as well as electronic reporting / Aatrix. @HaroldWestover Good idea. I will run that past them.

Doug, if the just want to track information then tabs on the employee master record is a way to go. If however, you want the system to act on that data, then your also talking about writing reports, building alerts, creating workflows, and opening up the employee master to supervisors, etc. I recommend getting a over all plan as to where you want to go with this before you begin customizing. A little is a good thing, but more is not always better. If you have questions, I can connect you with my team and they can help give you some ideas.

@ShawnSlavin Thanks for advice. Yes, I would love to talk with someone that knows more than I do about HR. I have a meeting with the client tomorrow 11am CDT. My email is doug@mcsresults.com

@DougHiggs I have forwarded your information on to Sheri Blaho in our office. You will hear from her soon.

Thanks @ShawnSlavin !
