Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for a manager toolkit. The manager toolkit may be a gadget, widget, tool, or any other application that may provide a user with access to payroll or human capital data. The manager toolkit may provide a user with access to a full-sized payroll application or human capital management application. In some embodiments, the manager toolkit may share information with the payroll application or human capital management application. The manager toolkit may include utilities such as a company roster, a resource map, and a timescape.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods of time period comparison. A user interface, which may be a part of a payroll or human capital management application or software, may be provided which may display payroll items, along with values for the payroll items during a first time period and second time period, as well as the differences in the values for the payroll items between the first and second time periods. A user may select one or more time periods or bases of comparison to be compared and a user interface may display values relating to the time periods accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing data related to managing a business for multiple businesses may include a user interface with a businesses pane and an information pane. The businesses pane can provide a list of one or more business entities and allow a user to display data related to a selected business from the list of one or more business entities.
