I'm a firm proponent of HR being another branch of finance, not of the unions. They have a role, they do that role. Things outside the role, they do not. In a big org, tracking down timesheets for payroll is a full-time job, that job needs to exist, it makes sense to tie it in with payroll taxes, payroll distibution, and forecasting of additional labor hire/fire needs.
The postmodernist 4th-wavers have ruined HR much like they ruin everything they touch.
