BWC, STD, LTD, Oh My

A little background on Horsburgh and Scott. It is a leading manufacturer of gear and gear drives. This is a manufacturing company. From what I see more company's want a person with a manufacturing HR background than a strictly corporate. That may or may not be true, but a lot of the positions I have applied for have asked for this background.

I will be working primarily with LaShanda, Monica's assistant. Today she taught me how to log Bureau of Worker's Comp (BWC) checks. I also learned how to pay the payees.

This is a fairly simple task. You must first

1. Find all filed bills. (The bills are always date stamped to ensure accurate and timely payment)
2. Match all bills with checks to be paid.
3. All checks are logged under the type of check they are e.g. physician pay or if the checks go to the employee.

This is not the entire task, but who wants to be bored by the drudgery of what goes on at work.

I want to now learn how to input a new claim into the system.

I also saw what kind of HRIS they have. The way many company's talk about their system it is like learning something you've never done before. H & S's system seem to be a Windows based system just like our SIRSI library system. To tell you the truth they even look very similiar, same colors and icons.

While on the topic of HRIS, I will be attending the local IHRIM meeting with Debra Wells (see earlier post). This group is the technical side of HR.
