Type of Assessment This summative assessment will enable your Assessor to make a judgement of competency based on the submission of your completed assignments against the requirements of this unit of competency. Assessor Instructions The Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the quality of performance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors must use these benchmarks to make judgement on whether competency has been achieved and to determine if the participant has performed to the standard expected to meet unit requirement and learning outcomes. Competency results for each unit are recorded in the Record of Assessment Form. Reasonable Adjustment Careers Australia will allow flexibility in relation to the way in which each unit is delivered and assessed based on the student’s requirement. The following are the reasonable adjustments for this unit: Reasonable Adjustment for this unit College Based On Line Delivery assistance of a Learning Support Teacher for LLN issues Yes Yes modifications to physical environment, eg wheelchair access Yes Not available changes to course design, eg instead of written assessment task – change Yes Not available to verbal questioning & assessor to write the answers Assessment Coding Assessment of this program of study is based on competency based principles. S = Satisfactory NS = Not Satisfactory Students who fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed date may be assessed as ‘not satisfactory’. You are required to be assessed as ‘Satisfactory’ on completion of Assessments assigned by your assessor for this unit of competency. Re-assessment Any re-assessment is conducted as soon as practicable after you have been informed of the requirement to be re-assessed and have been given the opportunity to be re-trained and assimilate the training. You are reassessed in only the areas assessed NS. It is at the assessor/s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should it be demonstrated an overall understanding of this unit has not been achieved. Students that are assessed “satisfactory” after re-assessment of areas deemed NS will achieve competency for this assignment. I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained and agree to undertake assessment. I am aware of Careers Australia’s appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand that I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all parts of the assessment to gain a competent result for this unit of competency. I declare that the work contained in this assessment is my own, except where acknowledgement of sources is made. I understand that a person found responsible for academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action (refer to student handbook). Student Signature:

Assignment (Written Report) BSBADM504 Plan and Implement Administrative Systems Report format: Executive summary An executive summary is a very useful tool in communicating your information to busy people. It is essentially a short summary (often no more than a page) of the report objectives, findings, and conclusions. Contents Any report over three pages in length should have a list of contents. A list of contents not only helps people find their way around the report but it also gives an indication of what is in the report and the structure. Introduction The introduction should set the scene for the report by concisely describing the reason for the report and the background or history relevant to the report. Body The body should address the main information including: • objectives of the review; • how the review was conducted, who was consulted, etc; and • results of the review and key issues identified. Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations Your conclusions should be clearly justified with reference to the results of the review. Your recommendations should be made twice, briefly in the opening summary or Executive Summary and then in more detail in the recommendations section.

Selection Criteria Reliability
Justification for selection Description The NABS system ltd. pty has excellent reputation and commonly used in the Retail industry. This is the new edition of software, which communicates all payroll policies in clear and simple way. The NABS system is 20 years in the business and It has reliable organisational package. My observations are based on many testimonials, referees checking and diligent enquiries.
Value for money
Although the NABS system cost lower, its package includes many low cost implementation features. With help of the system we will be able to offer direct deposit and self-service system for employees. It also automates the time and attendance. That will save us money on employing, full time cashiers & payroll officers. The system provides an affordable integrated HRIS along with processing the payroll.
Service and support
NABS provides ongoing help desk support, handbooks, fact sheets and user guides while other time limiting ( e.g 250 hr) , fully depending on the contract.
Quality
Taking in account “ the cheapest does not mean the best”, I have undertaken external consultation and have tested the NABS software by myself . I assure you that the new design of NABS really meets its values. Besides the NABS company receives good

Assignment (Written Report) BSBADM504 Plan and Implement Administrative Systems customer feedback on the standard of software. Financial security
The credit check on the NABS system vendor has shown the excellent financial capability of for the project. I was referred to the vendor by the NABS system ltd. Pty, which has excellent portfolio on their distributors.
Relationship
The Payroll Needs Analysis has proved that, there are tendency for ongoing relationship with the Supplier Three.
Task 2 You have conducted interviews with four employees who are currently involved in the payroll at different CA City outlets. You will find details of the interview in Appendix D. (Alternatively you may conduct interviews in your workplace and provide details). Using this information answer the following questions: 1a Explain a minimum of three system implementation strategies (minimum 100 words each)
There are a variety of ways to implement a new system. Which one you end up using depends upon the system you are implementing and the policies of your company. The actual implementation can either be accomplished in one of 3 basic ways: Strategies Parallel adoption
Big Bang
Description Though this implementation method is quite costly and requires the double work for users for some time. Both the old and new systems are utilized simultaneously. The system considered to be the least risky. The security and crash-worthiness of the new system can be verified in orderly manners. . Fall-back position is accessible. Problems can be identified easily and troubleshot in time. Training provided to users within daily activities. The system leaves some space for organizational culture changes as well. The strategy would encourage staff to participate in the implementation process. The implementation happens in a single, major event. Old system must be turned off and new system launched. No turning back is allowed. Although Implementation time is shorter and the “pains” of implementation is condensed , failure of one part can affect others . And difficulties can be more pronounced. Careful preimplementation preparation is vital to prevent fall -backs and major errors. Although the cost is lower, employees will have less time to learn the new system. Therefore more details may be overlooked in the rush of changes.
Phased rollout The implementation process divided into segments. Each segment of the new system is implemented and used for enough time to verify its function, security and crash-worthiness. Rollout can be divided: By modules: it starts with core functions, necessary for day to day operations, then add functionality to each phase. By business units; this approach is rolled out through few business units at a time. The benefit is released as more experience is gained. Each phase become more efficient while lessons were learnt from others. By geography: this can be referred to as a pilot adoption method. Method is used by large organisations with multiple locations. Although the method involves continues change over an extended period of time with accuracy, it allows to technical staff to focus on one part of the system for a select group of users. While fall back to old system got difficult with each phase, it would become possible to introduce modules and programming future modules.

Assignment – Student Instructions Page 8
Assignment (Written Report) BSBADM504 Plan and Implement Administrative Systems 1b. Considering staff interview feedback, select the system implementation strategy you would recommend for the new system. Explain your choice (minimum 100 words).
There are 4 groups of employees are exposed to changes of the Payroll system:
“Old dogs”, who are resistant to changes and will have tendencies to fall back to old procedures ( e.g Nick from the Finances); “Setlers” who are positive but reluctant to take any initiative.( e.g. Joan from the Department Store) “Pioneers”, who are enthusiastic to early adaptation of new payroll functionality( e.g Lisa form the Finances). ‘Well Poisoners”, who actively looks for ways to undermine the implementation ( e.g. Ali from the Café).
Two methods could be recommended - the phased implementation and the parallel adoption. Of all these implementation methodologies, the phased implementation will be the best leading method for such sort of the retail group. You have the ability to focus all your efforts in testing and debugging on one small segment at a time. Searching for the root of specific problems is made easier by the fact that there are limited places to look. How quickly you and your team can provide good fixes to the problems is more of a test of your ability than developing the system in and of itself. The permanent fix is well thought out, crafted and implemented. The phased rollout should be complemented by parallel adoption. That will lead in improving organisational culture: reduced instances of resistance and conflicts; better assimilation of the new changes; better morale; higher value of feedback. 2. What are some strategies you would employ to ensure all staff are excited and embracing the new system?
General strategies: 1. The changes to the system must be clearly explained to personnel. Thus, Conflict and resistance to change must be avoided. 2. Providing staff training/information sessions will lead to develop an optimistic and confident team. Thus, Staff support is encouraged. . 3. Ensuring that the staff will have the necessary resources in order to train themselves and teach others about the system. Thus. Confidence will be raised 4. Re-distributing office tasks may be needed in order to keep the system administration structure strong. There may be particular people who have strengths regarding system knowledge and can become temporary leaders of a project while implementation is underway. Recognizing and playing to skills and strengths of various team members communicates to those involved the importance of the project as well as the recognition of professional development. 5. Offering informational resources relating to expected differences brought on by centralized vs. decentralized organizational structures and changes in leadership style. Thus it will help raise awareness relating to performance criteria for the team. 6. Temporary reduction of workload during debugging processes . Thus to let of some issues be resolved during slow periods so they have minimal impact on operations. Individual approach strategies: 1.“Old Dogs”” can be alerted to the fact that the automated integration of the new payroll system with existing time and attendance software will reduce pay-slip and salary errors. Their interest can be engaged by highlighting the specific and relevant system benefits that pertain to them. 2.“Settlers” are ‘Spectators’ Their latent positive attitude can be encouraged early through consultation on issues such system design and consultation. 3.“Well Poisoners”, are also known as “Cynics”. Theirs negative energy can be harnessed and transformed by engaging their help in addressing system concerns, ideally turning them into powerful allies. 4.“Pioneers” are ‘players’. Theirs positivity is best channelled by engaging them as change agents and representatives with their colleagues. Conclusion: The payroll software implementation challenge is to increase the Players to a critical mass— supported by enough Spectators to create a tipping point. July 2015 v1.1

Assignment (Written Report) BSBADM504 Plan and Implement Administrative Systems The more involved staff people become in the implementation of the new or modified systems, the more likely they are to accept the change.
3. Reviewing organisational policy and procedures for training and development of staff (Appendix E), create a detailed implementation procedure for the new payroll system. Ensure your procedure includes the following:
2017 Payroll Administration system. Implementation plan. A.
Describe the alignment to organisational requirements.
Core requirement (Organization ) See columns A,B, C -File 5.- for details
1. System, hardware & comms delivery /configuration –multiple environments allowing for training, testing, trial system configuration and setup, and parallel and live running. Prepare the infrastructure, including hardware, software, communications and facilities. 2. Coordinate with the key stakeholders. The organisation/s responsible for the supply and/or implementation of the system are notified and scheduled for the individual project tasks. 3. DBA setup, with immediately active backup protocols- restoration or copy promptly when required. 4. System setup: parameters, tables, hierarchies, rates, calculation formulae and rules, menus, security , development interfaces and reports 5. Data cleansing/Data migration tests, iterative testing of system setup, bespoke software, interfaces, reports and system functionality. 6. Production of user guides. 7. Implement training: for initial users. Use feedback to modify training for all users, for other users: involved in acceptance testing, pilot and parallel running 8. User Acceptance Testing of end-to-end processes, inclusive of interface testing. Ensure simultaneous storage/retrieval methods work effectively during the data conversion test. 9. Data migration for parallel running 10. Training for Remaining users and managers 11. Phased rollout (by functional and/or business area, with relevant data migrations if applicable). Implement the new processes and procedures. Roll out the training and access for all users. 12. Phase closures and the carrying forward of lessons learned. Perform final verification against organisational and developer benchmarks. 13. Project completion. Monitor and report on the system. Make modifications as necessary and ensure organisational impact is minimised. B.
Describe your plan for communication.
Communication of Implementation tasks. See Column D ,file 5 for details.
1.
Establish hierarchy of communication. The core team members are dedicated full time to the project. A project HQ is provided for the duration of the project, where the project team will be based. Allocate responsibility for the project team members. 2. Establish communication the team/management staff/ employee /service providers, ensuring that confidence remains high, problem notification stays organized, and solution provision is expedited. 3. Establish direct contact with system administrators, contact with a helpdesk system. Set up communication protocols 4. Publish and communicate Implementation strategies via intranet blog. Publicise Interest in the project at an executive level. 5. Engage with other organisations which use the new system, and with a system User Group if one exists. 6. Assign the supplementary/ training/ etc, resources for implementation. Publish/ post/ communicate them through the project. 7. Publish Training plan. Establish blog feedback communication. 8. Set up company IT help line, followed by feedback communication on the blog . 9. Establish in-house Business Intelligence expert groups to work with the new system, which remains available to the HR and Payroll teams after the implementation complete. 10. Set up “walk-in” issue notification windows, dedicated to system projects. The customers must use other means to communicate nonemergency issues such as emails, faxes, and notification memos. July 2015 v1.1
Assignment – Student Instructions Page 10
Assignment (Written Report) BSBADM504 Plan and Implement Administrative Systems 11. Establish a Trouble ticket system to enhance productivity. Ensure the processes are in place to record, analyse, and fix problems. Eliminate issues by establishing the emergencies procedure All problems get recorded, categorized, prioritized and ultimately assigned to someone .
12. Implement an automatic response function, as part of a trouble ticket system. An e-mail, listing the problem, along with other pertinent data is a great way to alleviate some of this “black hole” feeling.

You have noted that one employee who is struggling with the new payroll system has not been following the procedures provided. You will use the 5 Whys technique to solve this problem. What questions would you ask this employee (minimum of 5 why questions required.
Conduct one-on-one interview for employee( 5 why technique) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Why you struggling with the usage of the payroll software? Write down the specific problem. Why the problem happens? Write the answer down below the problem Why you do not follow the SOP ? Direct Self-study obviously does not work for you Do you think it is too complicated? . Do you need simpler instruction? Why do you think you require re-training? Could we Offer you other on-job training preferences ( buddy system, mentoring) ? We have distributed training evaluation form. Why would not you fill one? It could give us a view for gap training you will need.
I.
How can you encourage this staff member to work with procedures provided?
-Conduct 5 why technique interview ( see above). - Conduct the on-job practical assessment if needed to find the gaps -Consider learning style of employee implement new method of communication for training. In this case Re-training sessions is required , when you see that staff members are struggling with the new system. After struggle re training will make much more sense to them, because they will have seen the system, used it to some extent, and have some understanding of it. When you say “Go to such-and-such a screen” they’ll know what you’re talking about. At the same time, because they already know what that screen is, they’ll be able to focus on what to use it for. Another way to provide shortcuts and “hints” on how to get more out of the system. Effective training has to include practical use of the system. The familiarity with the system helps people understand what they’re being taught. Set people “loose” to use it, they’ll remember some (about 10%) of what they’ve been taught. Hopefully, that part that they remember will help them to get into the system and attempt to use it. That’s a valuable part of the training process.

Privacy
Privacy Act 1988 regulates how businesses collect, access, and store personal information and communication. It requires manage the sensitive information, handling and processing personal information with care. Private information must be only disclosed by specific requests. It must never be used for direct marketing unless it has been advised so from the carrier of such an information.

Freedom of Information
c)
Copy Right
Freedom of Information Act 1982 provides a legally enforceable right of access to government documents. FOI allows individuals to see what information government holds about them, and to seek correction of that information if they consider it wrong or misleading. The Payroll system will need direct connection to Australian Tax Office and other Government organizations. It might also need to seek some disclosed information on personal Tax debts or Bad Credits of the staff member, etc.
