Systems for Project-Funded Teams
Where every cost has to be attributable to a grant.
What this coversHideSector HR technology has a requirement most commercial systems do not: every person's cost must be attributable to one or more funded projects, and reportable to donors on their terms.
- Cost allocation by project and funding source, including splits
- Role end-dates tracked against grant periods
- Donor-format reporting supported from the record
- Volunteer records held distinctly from employees
- Field and programme staff on one employee master
- Multi-location and multi-project deployment tracking
- Audit-ready documentation retained per project
Split allocation is the capability most often missing. Staff funded thirty per cent by one grant and seventy by another are common, and a system that cannot express it forces a parallel spreadsheet.
The general method — what hr technology and automation covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr process automation page. What is above is the part that differs for ngos and social enterprises.
