Remote Work Tracking in HCM

unknown

In light of the current situation with COVID-19 and work from home orders, PSH is evaluating if and how to identify in HCM employees assigned to permanently work remote.  Along with the decision to track remote employees, we are attempting to identify all other functions that may be impacted such as taxes, reporting, identity management and impact to downstream systems.

Looking for information from other users who are currently or in the process of identifying employees working remote.  We are interested in what criteria is being used to flag them, how does Infor payroll do the taxation, how does it affect reporting ad-hoc and regulatory reporting, etc. 

As information:

Penn State Health is a multi entity healthcare system in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  We have approximately 14,000 employees.  We are on premise GHR/TA and utilize Infor S3 for payroll with BSI tax program.

It has been a few months, so I am resurrecting this question.

We also are looking for options to track Permanent work from home employees and Hybrid employees (need to be in the office some of the time, WFH the rest of the time).  We are MT GHR/TA and utilize S3 for payroll with BSI as well.  Payroll also needs to know who is remote so we need to be able to send the information down to S3.

There is a flag in GHR on the Resource - Working Remotely.  We considered using this, but it doesn't appear to move down to S3 for Payroll (have other's experienced this?).  If we use this flag, we would have to track by employee - we would optionally like to track the position as a remote position.  

To cover the Hybrid employees/positions, our initial thought is to use the Location field and add additional locations for Hybrid - ie: employees working 100% at the hospital would have a location of 'Hospital'.  Employees that can be WFH and spend 1 day/week at the hospital would have a location of 'Hospital Hybrid'.  

Have others started tracking this information or started thinking of how to track it?  We are interested in any suggestions/options.
