Why those fall short

  • ERP is ancient and takes adjustments; no candidate has experience with it
  • managers change process monthly; coworkers lack software skills
  • in-house platform bugged, needs full-time dev and QA
  • reminders miss holidays; off-cycle runs cost $90 per check
  • current payroll provider isn't the best; pieces live in different spots
