Carval Computing Limited - Specialists in HR, Payroll and Time and Attendance Solutions.

The Carval UNIWAGE Payroll system is designed to manage an organisation’s payroll centrally, on existing Windows platforms. It is an adaptable system that can handle a variety of variable input and deduction types. UNIWAGE is updated regularly to keep it current with changing technology, legislation and HMRC practice. It meets HMRC payroll standards and also contains:

• SSP, SMP, SAP and SPP.
• Company sick and maternity pay.
• Payroll archive.
• Over 200 standard reports.
• Custom report writer.
• P11Ds.
• HMRC compliant electronic filing.
• Remote processing option.
• Integration with MS Office

UNIWAGE can be integrated with other products or will run as part of a fully integrated HR Information System with Carval’s other modules for HR and time & attendance. Carval recognises that HR management is a strategic business function and HR professionals need tools that enable them to monitor and plan employment strategies. The Carval UNISTAFF HR system has been developed to support HR professionals in the following areas:

• Keeping employee details. The employee record lies at the heart of UNISTAFF. It is a comprehensive file of personal details covering every aspect of a worker’s employment history.
• Skills tracking. This monitors the skills attained by staff and helps plan career paths and identify development needs.
• Job history and performance reviews. This provides a holistic view of employees’ performance and allows users to develop their career plans.
• Training records. This helps develop employees in line with the business objectives, providing tracking facilities through the various stages from request to review.
• Disciplinary and grievance monitoring. This helps users comply with legislation for statutory disciplinary and dismissal procedures and grievance procedures, allowing users to be proactive in dispute resolution.
• Benefits entitlement. UNISTAFF helps HR personnel identify those employees who are entitled to benefits like maternity/paternity leave, company cars and their holiday entitlement.
• Recruitment. Recruiting is costly in financial terms and also time and effort. UNISTAFF helps users assess job applicants in an objective manner, with short listing and process management provided as standard.

UNISTAFF supports the management of these issues and simplifies the reporting process. The aim is to free up HR professionals from administration, providing them with instant tailored reports to help make key business decisions.

The conventional approach to justifying an investment in computerised time & attendance is that the organisation will save time analysing clocking transactions. While this is true, Carval believe re-investing the time saved refining reports and managing information gives the real cost saving and justification, by reducing absenteeism and payroll errors.

The CBI says absence rates are falling as firms find ways to combat it. Using a computerised system means companies have an average 20% lower absence than those keeping manual records. In a multi-shift, multi-pay rate environment with varying rules, Carval says errors from manual clock card analysis alone cost a company 0.5-1% of its total wage bill.

The Carval UNITEND Time and Attendance System addresses the problems associated with manual systems, ensuring staff are correctly remunerated for the amount of hours worked. Clockings are automatically converted into payroll data, meaning professionals are freed from this task while the probability of overpaying/ underpaying staff is reduced.

Companies also have their own unique set of variables to consider, eg:

• Flexible shift rotas.
• Absenteeism.
• Lateness and overtime.
• Flexitime.
• Annualised hours.

UNITEND handles these and other areas, providing users with information to make decisions based on a more exact knowledge of their workforce.
