DORMA opens the door to Northgate HR

DORMA UK Ltd, the supplier of door controls, glass fittings, automatic door systems, movable walls and door service, is to implement Northgate HRís fully integrated HR and payroll solution, ResourceLink.

When ResourceLink is live in June this year the company which has over 400 employees across the UK and Ireland will operate two payrolls each with different tax years and legislative requirements, from a single database. This will simplify DORMAís existing payroll operation and enable HR to report on staff in the UK and Ireland at the same time.

It is also DORMAís intention to incorporate ResourceLinkís self service functionality within their system during the first year of operation. This will allow employees and managers access to the system to submit timesheets, view payslips and personal records, as well as booking holiday and recording sickness. Managers will have access to more information on their staff and will be able to authorise their teamís timesheets and submit them to HR department electronically. This will reduce the flow of paper and streamline their operation further.

During an extensive review of HR and payroll providers in the UK, Northgate HR was short listed along with 3 other providers. David Bache, Finance Director, DORMA UK Ltd said: ìWe were impressed with ResourceLink, it catered for all our HR and Payroll functionality needs and it gave us a combined UK and Irish database. On top of this, Northgate HR proved they could reduce our data duplication and paper flow and the robustness of ResourceLink and the proven implementation approach made Northgate HR the obvious choice.î

DORMA is the latest manufacturing organisation to choose ResourceLink for their HR and payroll. Malcolm Aldis, Managing Director, Northgate HR added: ìThis is excellent news for Northgate HR and it proves that we can provide HR and payroll solutions that bring real business benefits to a variety of organisations.î
