SAP HR and Payroll

When SAP Germany contracted EPI-USE in 1994 to assist with the localisation of the South African Payroll, this enabled us to gain unique and in-depth knowledge of SAP R/3’s transactional components. EPI-USE has also built up strong skills in other areas of the SAP HR module founded on the excellent HR business skills of its consultants.

EPI-USE has one of the most experienced SAP HR and Payroll consulting teams worldwide. Its consultants have been involved in more than 120 successful project engagements during the last 10 years and are versed in the requirements of industries such as local government, parastatals, mining companies, financial services, etc. These individuals are not only SAP specialists but also business professionals in their own right. This enables them to provide authoritative advice on how to bring the worlds of business and of information technology together.

EPI-USE Value HR

Being a niche player in the HR systems arena, we have devoted a significant amount of time into understanding Human Resources and the Human Resources value drivers that have a direct impact on company performance. We have concentrated this knowledge into the EPI-USE ValueHR methodology, which is a framework that we use to realise the value contribution of HR technology.

ValueHR addresses Human Resource Departments’ need to prove the business value that’s being added by deploying HR technology. The emphasis is to deploy technology in such a way that it will liberate HR to become a strategic business partner. ValueHR considers the following areas:

HR transformation (HR structure e.g. shared service centre)

HR effectiveness (aligning HR processes with business objectives)

HR efficiency (improving on core HR processes e.g. recruitment lead time)

In partnership with EPI-USE Analytics – a subsidiary of the EPI-USE Group of companies – we have developed a high-level Value Based Management (VBM) model that can be used to show the economic value added and even show the impact on shareholder value.

EPI-USE Systems’ Niche: SAP Payroll

Due to our initial involvement in the South African Payroll localisation and day-to-day operations, there exist a strong body of payroll specific knowledge within the company. This includes:

A thorough understanding of gross and net earnings, salary structuring, legal payroll requirements, salary deductions, tax implications and retroactive payroll calculations.

Insight into the operation and replacement of older transactional payroll systems.

Excellent payroll development skills. We have been involved in a number of developments such as Pensioner Payrolls, Commissions Payrolls and a number of non-South African payroll country versions.
