Ceridian HR/Payroll Web and Ceridian Self Service were two products that communicated with the same database. Each payroll client had their own database at the hosted facility, where data was extracted on a per pay period basis and sent to a mainframe for payroll processing. The HR/Payroll Web application was geared toward administrative HR/Payroll users at the client site, while the Self Service application was geared toward managers and employees. Both systems outputted data from business rules in XML while page definitions were a proprietary XML format mixed with XSL. This XML page format was the backbone of the page rendering due to its flexibility and made customization possible.

· Designed and developed installation, upgrade and administrative tools for Self Service. The upgrade process was designed for hosted services to cumulatively upgrade all customer databases to a single current version with a minimal amount of down time.
· Designed Single Sign-On which enabled Self Service to be used as a portal to other applications, such as a time keeping application and a benefits enrollment application.
· Designed and developed interface to Crystal Reports XI.
· Designed and developed workflow engine features and enhancements. The conditional routing system enabled customers to configure complex approval steps in an easy to use interface. The approval process included the ability for the approver to make changes while recording change history for auditing purposes.
· Enhanced customization capabilities. Page definitions were stored in an XML format in the company database. The customization interface allowed clients to make modifications to their own copies of pages, such as adding and removing fields, changing captions, and adding help text to the page. In addition, clients could add custom pages to the system which loaded and saved data from any table in the database. Custom pages were automatically integrated into security roles and the workflow approval process.
· Designed and developed role-based security system in Self-Service
· Designed and developed Time Entry System in Self Service.
· Designed and developed Benefits Enrollment Interface in Self Service.
· Designed and developed two way file transfer interface to 3rd party time tracking system in HR/Payroll Web. Timed database exports were generated based on changes and were automatically sent via ftp. For incoming files, a process monitored a directory for files and imported them as necessary. This system was designed to be reused for other 3rd party applications.
· Designed check printing system.
· Developed "button publisher", written in VB.NET, to dynamically generate multi-lingual button images. Interfaced directly with the multi-lingual framework of the HR/Payroll Web application.
