Implement 'Smart' Batch Queueing for Payroll Build PDF/Email Earning Statements

Objective: To enhance the efficiency and reliability of the Payroll Earning Statements generation process by implementing a 'Smart' batch queueing system. The primary objective is to ensure that when this process is initiated, it is automatically identified and routed to run on a separate, dedicated batch stream to run outside of regular business hours. This separation will prevent it from impeding the execution of other critical payroll processes, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.

Rationale:

1. Resource Allocation: The current batch processing system may not effectively allocate resources, leading to bottlenecks and inefficient utilization of computing power. The 'Smart' Batch Queueing system will address this issue by dedicating a separate batch stream for this specific task.

2. Minimizing Downtime: By segregating the Earning Statements generation process, the likelihood of downtime caused by resource conflicts and contention for processing capacity is significantly reduced. This will contribute to a more reliable and responsive payroll system.

Additional Detail: One of the key advantages of implementing this 'Smart' batch queueing system is that it eliminates the need for users to manually adjust batch output and processing times each time they initiate the Earning Statements generation process. This smart system will automatically detect the nature of the task and allocate the necessary resources and schedule it for execution during non-business hours.

Benefits of a 'Smart' Batch Queueing System:

• User Convenience: Users no longer need to remember or configure batch settings, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring a hassle-free experience.

• Consistency: The system ensures consistent and optimal resource allocation, regardless of variations in workload or user preferences.

• Efficiency: With automated resource allocation, the Earning Statements generation process becomes more efficient, resulting in faster execution and reduced wait times for users.

• Resource Optimization: By running this process during non-business hours, it maximizes the utilization of available computing resources, as there is minimal competition with other critical processes.

• Reliability: The system minimizes the risk of resource conflicts and downtime, contributing to a more reliable payroll system.

• Improved Productivity: Users can focus on their core tasks without the need to micromanage batch settings, leading to increased overall productivity.
