With just a couple of mouse clicks, people can connect to the latest breaking news, handle personal banking, trade stocks and pe / bonds, plan a vacation, even pur- chase concert tickets. The convenience of the Internet has also moved into the workplace. In someoffices, employees can use a Web-based system to access their personal information—such as viewingtheir latest pay stub, changing their benefits selections or updating emergency contact information—without having to phone or write a memoto the human resources department. “The Internet is rapidly changing the way employers and their employees interact with each other,” observes ADP vice president, Lisa Lane. “Take the func- tion of human resource information management. With Internet solutions, some HR services can be easily managed by employees online, making employees and HR departments moreefficient.” Before Internet solutions, most employees had no choice but to use a paper-based system to make benefits changes with HR, where each change had to be manually reviewed. The process was lengthy, time-consuming and error-prone. The Internet gives employees and their managerstools that provide immediate access and prompt distribution of requests, reducing employee inquiries and redundant administrative tasks. One of the ways employees are Web-based systems give em- ployees access to information they need and eliminates redundant tasks for employers. getting broader access to their employment information via the Internet is through ADP’s TotalChoice Solutions.
