Question 1

When determining system specifications for an HR information system, which specification ensures that the system can operate continuously without interruption during peak usage times?

Correct Answer: Availability requirements

Availability requirements ensure that the system can operate continuously without interruption during peak usage times. Performance requirements focus on the speed and responsiveness of the system. Scalability requirements address the system's ability to handle increasing amounts of work or its potential to be enlarged. Usability requirements pertain to how user-friendly the system is.

Question 2

As the HR manager of a multinational company, you need to select an HR Information System (HRIS) that ensures compliance with various international labor laws and regulations. Which feature should you prioritize during the selection process?

Correct Answer: Robust compliance management tools tailored to different countries

Robust compliance management tools tailored to different countries are essential for an HR Information System in a multinational company, as they ensure adherence to various international labor laws and regulations. While advanced data analytics, seamless integration with existing payroll and benefits systems, and a customizable user interface are valuable features, they do not directly address the critical need for compliance across different jurisdictions.

Question 3

When selecting an HR Information System (HRIS), which factor is most important to assess the vendor's ability to provide ongoing support and system reliability?

Correct Answer: Vendor's track record for system uptime and technical support responsiveness

The vendor's track record for system uptime and technical support responsiveness directly reflects their ability to provide reliable ongoing support and ensure the system remains operational with minimal downtime. This is crucial for maintaining HR operations smoothly. The other factors, while important, focus more on system features, costs, and integration capabilities rather than the vendor's support and reliability.
