Sage Software has unveiled its latest versions (7.6 and 8.3) of Sage Abra HRMS, the company’s human resource management system for small and mid-sized businesses and organizations in North America. The upgrade features Employer Information Report EEO-1 and compatibility with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
Sage Abra has been updated in an effort to make it easy for customers to collect and report on necessary job categories and employee ethnicity to comply with the 2007 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission category changes, effective Sept. 30, 2007.
“One major reason companies implement an HR management system is to help them accurately manage requirements for government compliance,” said Jessica Simmons, V.P. and general manager for Sage Abra HRMS at Sage Software.
“With these latest versions, Sage Abra HRMS includes the code table and report changes necessary to comply with the new EEO-1 requirements which employers must begin reporting Sept. 30.”
