I'm currently looking for alternative solutions to automate our HR action request forms. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, advice or success stories the group would like to share.
We want a manager self-service solution that allows form set-up and tracking with configurable fields and integration with ADP HRMS so that current employee information pre-populates and follows the built-in hierarchy structure for security and approval process. We currently use Excel for this process.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with an organization that moved from the standard policy of accruing vacation, sick, personal, and other categories of days off to a more streamlined PTO policy where there is only one bank of accrued time? If so, would you recommend it?

First, you want to make sure that your company culture is supportive of the fact that with PTO employees may be out of the office more often than they are when you have a more traditional time off policy. Typically speaking employees who earn vacation/sick time tend not to use all of their sick time each year - but with PTO, more employees will use all of their PTO each year. This means more time out of the office, of course. So as long as your culture is one that supports this, then PTO can be a great benefit.
My second piece of advice concerns the fact that you will find an employee or two who will refuse to use their PTO when they are actually sick. As a result, they may come to the office sick as a dog and spread their germs. To discourage this from happening, we made it clear to our staff that employees who come to work sick will be sent home and forced to use PTO hours. And then we stayed true to our word and actually sent employees home when they were sick.
Hope this helps!!

I would recommend one PTO bucket because it makes time off asking/getting easier for all parties.

I'm a member of probably 10-20 other random ones that have popped up over the years, but they are mostly dormant now. I'm in the process of doing a little blog exploration and optimizing the integration between all of these platforms that I use regularly.

What is the average merit increase at your company? Please indicate your sector (technology, government, etc.). So far I'm getting around 3% but want to see if this is valid.
Katelyn Daley:
My company, in the Fiancial Services sector, went with a 2% increase for an "Exceeds" evaluation. Last year it was a 4% increase.

I'm looking for a benefits certification. The two I've looked at are the CBP through World at Work and the CEBS through Wharton. Any opinions on which is better, or does anyone know of other programs I should look into?
Michael Stuart:
CEBS is generally more recommended if you are heavy on the benefits side. World at Work is bigger in the comp arena.
