Reasons for Issues by Benefit Type Transact HR Ltd www.transacthr.com

Issues that needed addressing All BIK Data and people movements were only captured at yearly intervals. Issues that arose were often distant memories and could not be resolved easily. Vehicle movements were not always being captured and when captured often had overlapping dates. HR were not accurately maintaining the PMI data, dates overlapped and the incorrect level of cover was being applied. People reported not receiving their benefit statement for checking or if they did receive it had little time to notify us of the inaccuracies. Transact HR Ltd www.transacthr.com

Transact HR Ltd www.transacthr.com How did PAS help the RAC Benefit data automatically aligned to start / leave dates.
