Please READ the following carefully! Guidelines and Rubric for assignment uploaded below. Overview:

Your
organization is contemplating the purchase of a new human resource
information system and has tasked you with formulating a proposal.
Organizational details for you to consider for this assignment are as
follows:

• There are a total of 500 employees at the
  site; 450 non-exempt employees who clock in and out each day, and 50
  exempt employees who do not use a time clock and are paid a standard
  weekly salary.
• The organization has an electronic time capture and payroll system already in place that is:

-Manually updated when employees are hired or terminate employment

-A stand-alone application, not interacting with any other database system

-Maintained by two full-time payroll administrators, reporting to one payroll manager

• Human resource records are primarily paper-based:

-Employee personnel files are maintained in file folders

-Personnel files are manually updated with demographic, performance, and disciplinary information

-Demographic data is available currently in an Excel database, which is manually updated

-Personnel
files are maintained by four full-time human resource clerks, who are
non-exempt and report to the full-time HR manager.

The new HRIS
is expected to drive a self-service approach to records management,
while also ensuring confidential and proprietary data is secure. For
this milestone, you will be working on the gap assessment and
informative visual maps. In a 4–5 page paper with a minimum of three
scholarly sources, compare the current human resources data collection
system with at least two new HR information systems that are being
considered.

This assignment will assess the following course outcomes:

Illustrate
the interdependency of HRIS systems with existing organizational data
collection systems through informative visual maps

Design gap
assessment processes that capture the critical organizational needs and
requirements for the implementation of an HRIS system

Prompt:

Your paper should answer the following:

What
are the major factors to consider when an organization is considering
upgrading or implementing a new human resource information system?

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Gap assessment –What is the present situation (legacy system), the
desired future state (new HRIS), and the gaps that exists between them
for the following areas of the organization?

O Information Systems – requirements for hardware and operating system software architecture

O
Human Resources – demographic employee data variables (distinguish
which system maintains, how information is updated, any controls, and
connectivity with other support functions) and security of the data
(availability to functional levels, e.g. employee, manager, finance,
operation managers)

O Operations,
Finance, Quality – productivity (more or less work) of employees
(management/non-management) and cost versus benefit

An informative visual map illustrating:

– the current state (no HRIS)

– the future state (HRIS system in place)

– the interdependency and/or replacement of other databases

Rubric

Guidelines for Submission:

Written
components of projects must follow these formatting guidelines when
applicable: 4 –5 pages; a minimum of three scholarly sources; double
spacing; 12 -point Times New Roman font; one-inch margins; and APA
format for all elements.

Look for a point of comparison to focus your work—for example, a common theme, similar setting, characters with something in common. You then need to develop your own point of view on what the authors mean and then develop your interpretation and support it with evidence from the text. Your paper should focus on the works we have read by your authors (in other words I do not want you to discuss the authors’ lives). The purpose of your paper should be to improve your reader’s understanding of the works you are discussing and to demonstrate your own understanding of the works. Your paper should not be just generalizations, nor should it be just plot summary.

You will need to illustrate your points with examples and quotations from the literature. When you quote from a work, give the page number from our book in parentheses after the quotation. If you quote from poetry, preserve the line breaks and punctuation as they appear in the original work. This paper is not meant to be a research paper. If you do use any secondary sources, you need to add a works cited page and cite your sources properly. Use MLA format for your paper. Uncited sources are evidence of plagiarism

Compare: As I lay dying- Faulkner VS Daisy Miller– James

Scenario:

You are a member of the training division for a major metropolitan police department. The chief of police and her staff have developed an undercover program in which they wish to use new cadets right out of the police academy graduating class as undercover officers in the narcotics unit. You and your training staff have each been requested to select a type of drug of abuse.

Research and present the following issues pertaining to the drug that you selected:

• Describe the medical, clinical, or scientific name for the drug that you selected and identify the drug enforcement administration (DEA) schedule that it falls into and why.
• Explain what the legal classification of this drug is, and what physical forms it is likely to have on the street (powder, liquid, plant material, etc.)
• Articulate the origin of this drug in terms of coming from a botanical or a synthetic.
• Identify how this drug is ingested when it is used illicitly, and the street names that the drug is known by.
• Detail the physical impact that the drug has on the user, both immediate and long-term, in terms of drug reaction and health.

It is critical that, when you make a statement of fact in your presentation, you cite the reference that you used to obtain the information from. Do this in the text of the paper, and then include the reference in your References page. As always, your paper will be submitted in the current edition of APA format. No abstract is required because this is a short position paper, but a title page, reference page, and appropriate running header with page numbers are necessary.

Please submit 3-5 page assignment.

The average retail price of the cookbooks will be $30, and their average cost will be $20.

Assume that the equation for demand is Q = 40,000 – 500P, where

Q = the number of cookbooks sold per month
P = the retail price of books.
