The University of Southampton has signed a £560,000, five-year deal with provider Northgate HR for its ResourceLink HR, payroll and pensions software.
The new software will replace the university’s current HR and payroll system in August 2007.
The university’s 5,000-plus employees will have access to the system to maintain personal records, and view forms such as their payslips.
Managers will be able to manage their teams by viewing and authorising changes to the employee’s records, as well as administering areas such as holiday, absence and training requests.
Tony Strike, director of HR at the University of Southampton, said: “Our aim is to help improve processes and reduce administration so HR staff can concentrate on recruiting and retaining the best staff and students to make sure we are the university of choice.”
