Let’s start your workday off with a little HR Tech humor! We’re always known as such a cut-up crew as it is, so I’m sure no one’s surprised one of our readers sent in the following screenshot to lighten your day.

Typically, when we hear a vendor say “No customizations allowed” we are in full support of their restrictions. After all, too many systems are broken by forcing a square process into a round workflow. But this capture below is a wonderful example of how two very well-known benefits solutions can break apart when forced to work together. (This is a pass-through window from a regular benefits administration system to a separate voluntary benefits enrollment system.)

This employer has 48 pay periods and wants the per-paycheck amount to be displayed for employees to see. Sounds easy enough, right? Ah, but it didn’t fit the Weekly, Monthly or Semi-Monthly frequencies the vendor offered standard.

Hope you enjoyed our funny finding! Have you seen any comical attempts at customization? If so, please share!
