Egan Reid have been using Personnel Manager for over 10 years mainly to record key employee information and for recording absence and holiday information for their 80 staff at their offices in Stockport, Bradford and the Isle of Man.
Unfortunately, Personnel Manager was discontinued in 2009 and is not compatible with recent versions of Microsoft Office and Windows. In March 2017 Personnel Manager stopped working after an O/S upgrade on their server and they could therefore no longer access the system or any of their records.
Egan Reid contacted agathonhr via our website as we are one of the last companies in the UK to provide support and services to Personnel Manager users and offer a cost effective and quick upgrade to People Inc. HR.
People Inc. HR is a comprehensive HR system that incorporates Core HR, Absence Management, Training and Development, Salary and Benefits and Fleet Management. Is also provides Online Recruitment and Employee Self Service via optional add on modules.
People Inc. provides much more functionality to meet Egan Reid’s requirements. It also calculates holiday entitlements more effectively based on absence rules and employees’ work pattern and FTE. This negates the need to create many different holiday rules for part time employees.
Brent Darbyshire, Financial Controller at Egan Reid said, “The upgrade process was very quick and required minimal effort on our part. People Inc. was installed and all the data transferred within a matter of days. The training took place within a week of placing our order.”
