Develop a cost effective service to monitor contract worker usage by department or work group that is independent from the existing systems used to monitor permanent employees.
Why cost effective?
Pretty obvious, especially given the major expense a company has already paid to collect information related to permanent employees.
Why service?
A Service dramatically lowers the cost of ownership, including a significant reduction in the burden placed on internal HR and IT resources.
Why monitor contract usage?
Labor, permanent or contract, is commonly a significant part of Productivity. While it is fairly easy to allocate permanent labor, why not develop the ability to do the same for contract labor?
Why by department or work group?
Permanent employees are charged against the department for which they work. Contract workers could easily work for many different departments, sometimes during the same shift. Best Practices says to allocate all expenses at the lowest practical level.
Why independent?
Most companies have a complex, series of systems used to manage the many, interrelated aspects of permanent employees. HR will exert significant energy (theirs and IT’s) to insure contract workers do not accidentally contaminate those systems.
