K3 Equator adds automation for HR and payroll

Equator latest version has passed all HMRC requirements and users can, as of yesterday (6 April 2011) send electronic P46 change of car notifications. Amongst the across-the-board upgrades is an enhanced employee induction feature and improved integration between time & attendance, personnel and occupational sick pay. Commenting on the automated electronic P46 change of car forms, Kevin O'Donnell, head of HR development for K3, says: "This feature is a real bonus as it speeds up the process of HMRC having the most up-to-date data on company car users and the make and model of vehicle they are using." And he adds: "There have been well publicised issues across the country with company car users being taxed for the wrong car, or for the wrong amount on the right car. Very often HMRC will have out-of-date information and make the wrong assumptions." New automatic training plans in Equator will also enable companies to have better control over employee induction and will no longer have to rely on creating training plans manually.
