Payroll Extract

DART drives payroll which negates the need for the duplication of data entry.

DART Data Management: Input Through DART & Pass to Payroll.

As well as holding all the basic HR details you would expect in a HR product, such as Address details, Contact information and Personal details, we can store data that your payroll function may require, items such as P45 information and Pay details. Then, when the time is right, the DART extract process can take the information, extract it into a file in the correct format to feed a SAGE ® or STAR ® payroll system then mark and store the data in history.

Employee’s ‘Right to Work’ here in the UK.

There are strict rules on who you can employ at your workplace & for how long. Within DART we take you through the steps required to ensure you follow the correct legislation that resides within the UK, for your new starters, as well as your existing staff.

For each new starter you place into DART, you will be prompted for you to check their eligibility to work at your organisation. We can accommodate all the information and evidence you have (like scanned copies of their passport) to ensure you have a legitimate ‘excuse!’ in employing them should you be investigated by the UK Borders agency.

Any employee’s with a limited right to work in the UK will be flagged for re-checking before the anniversary of the re check. This is a real benefit to having HR Software automate reminders to keep you compliant.

Eligibility to Work

Verify that your staff are eligible to work for you. Re-check alerts all built into DART.

DART Dashboard

The dashboard is a self-service style module that allows you to manage your holiday booking process as well as your team. It is a great feature for line managers who process holiday requests for their team. You can view your team’s calendar, authorise holiday requests and see any activities (whether planned or unplanned) for your staff you can also see any broadcasted messages that have been sent.

News and Update messages

You can also see company defined messages that are broadcast by the DART administrators – this could be items such as a reminder of a company meeting, cut off date for Payroll or the date of the Christmas party.

You can define a time period for each message too!

Holiday Entitlement

The Dashboard will also show you your current holiday entitlement, along with any days you have booked, in a quick and easy to understand view.

You can also help you request any further holiday that you may wish to book. Hopefully, making the process quick and easy for everybody.

If you are a manager/team leader and you look after a team, it will show you your team’s holiday summary, including leave  that is taken, booked and any unauthorised holiday requests that could exist. If that is the case, then you can then authorise the leave with a simple click of a button which is present in the dashboard too!

Team Calendar

Team Calendar

View the Team Calendar by simply pressing this button

To enable you to make the judgement call about authorising the holiday we have created an function within the dashboard that loads a calendar view of your team. Using the powerful list all function it produces a calendar of ‘Your team’

This will allow you to ensure you have enough staff in to cover the leave before you authorise it.

Reminder

With the quick overview of your week and the week the reminder section within the Dashboard allows you to see what is happening within your team this week and next.

Dashboard Events

This week and next week overview of your staff’s activities

You are reminded of staff absences including holidays, time off in lieu, dentist trips etc. or activities that you as their manager should be managing, like appraisals or ensuring there is enough cover whilst a member of staff is on a training course.

In the example here, this week, I have an appraisal to do with Jack and he is absent too. You can click on the item and it will load the DART window automatically for you.

Next week I can see that Jack is working a day he is not scheduled to work. He also has a holiday planned and Pete has an appraisal booked.

Holiday Management

The management of your staff holidays and their holiday entitlement calculations is something that affects all businesses. Within DART’s absence module you can:

  • Define your Company scheme.
  • Enrol members of staff into the scheme.
  • Allow the scheme to manage entitlement e.g. Part Year Joiners or  Part Time staff working a proportion of the standard Company week.
  • Enable you to monitor & control requested, booked & taken annual leave, in this holiday year or the next.
  • Each year the system will renew their entitlement.

Holiday Entitlement Scheme

Define the company holiday scheme as per your company handbook.

For any anomalies to the standard Company holiday scheme, use our holiday supplements options. Make the scheme flexible for your employees  allowing you to manage specific changes such as the buying or selling holiday entitlement.

Employee Holiday Entitlement

Modify the standard company holiday scheme with supplements, both permanent (like a part time supplement) and temporary supplements (like a starter supplement)

 

Employee Calendar

The fantastic DART Calendar allows you to view any dated events for your employee all in one place. Easily spot patterns or trends to absences or get a general overview of holidays when planning time off.

Plus with DART just double click on any dated item and it will load the event for you to see in detail!

Alerts

Alerts in DART will keep you up to date with employee events and actions. We treat them like computerised ‘Post-It-Notes’. To understand the urgency of a task DART Alerts uses the familiar RAG system (Red, Amber + Green) to prioritise by colour types. Plus you can access the action from within this window, assign the alert to a specific user and close the Alert down.

Alerts

Never forget. Traffic light Alerts to remind you of events that may need your attention in a priority order, Red, Amber and Green alerts.

Having used other HR systems before DART is miles ahead

“Having used other HR systems before DART is miles ahead.  It is so user friendly that managers can easily use the full functionality without having to rely on an administrator.  The team at Cirrus get to know your business and what specifications would suit, nothing is too difficult for them and they are always willing to assist.  Other products are extremely expensive and have additional costly ‘extras’, DART has more functionality than some of these systems and is so reasonably priced.   Wish I had found Cirrus sooner!”
