Ramirez said that the company now does all of its open enrollment
through Viewpoint HR Management, which has saved significant
time and paperwork. With 1,500-plus employees needing attention
during those periods, KS Industries used to spend weeks sorting
through all of the paperwork manually to meet deadlines. Now, that
entire process is automated and simple.
"One of the nice things that the portal has allowed us to do is to
put our employee handbook out there for everyone," Ramirez said.
"We've made it to where the employee has to acknowledge it. It's
nice to just be able to tell them 'Hey, go out to your portal, the
handbook is out there.' It saves us a lot cost-wise. You don't have
to print out a bunch of books."
Nor does the company have to mail W-2s, as those are available
for employees on the portal as well.

We went
from having
a four-person
team handling
administrative
functions to a
three-person
team, and that
fourth person is
now being utilized
elsewhere in
the company.
