Resco delivers calculation solution to ISS in Finland

Resco delivers calculation solution to ISS in Finland Resco in Finland, Major Blue Company, has delivered a system for payroll calculation to ISS. Major Blue® Palkat is a flexibel system which meets the demands of ISS, for example adaptation to several contract sectors, arious payment categories and decentralised payroll processing. Major Blue® Palkat is one of Major Blue Company's own products and it also includes an interpretation system that facilitates payroll work. The interpretation system calculates, on the basis of working hours, the basic salary, possible overtime and increments in regular salary. This payroll system can also be expanded with a browser-based data collection function. "The basic requirement in overhauling the payroll system was to find a reliable system to facilitate payroll work in a consolidated corporation. Major Blue Company offered a suitable solution, and our expectations for the new payroll system are high, both as regards development of payroll work and costs savings. The Major Blue® Palkat system is flexible, and can be modified independently according to the needs of various contract sectors," explains Payroll Management Director Ulla Kangaspunta from ISS. "The project was launched in the autumn, and is proceeding by contract sector so that the overall project will be completed by 1 September 2002. All in all, the overhaul of our payroll system is a challenging project, since the payroll calculation of ISS comprises several contract sectors, various payment categories and decentralised payroll processing," says Ms. Kangaspunta. Major Blue Company has also delivered an e-service solution to ISS that will give its customers the ability to place orders for real-estate and office-support services via a World Wide Web interface.
