HR Features

Everything you need to Make Payroll Easy for Your Local Team

  • Out-of-the-Box Configuration

    A streamlined setup where all components, including earnings, deductions and fringe benefits, are pre-configured and linked to tax codes, so there’s no need to define how wage types must work and whether they should be taxed or not.

  • Unlimited Scalability

    Unlimited everything! Pay runs, users, earning types, deductions, leave transactions and performance evaluations; you can grow your business without worrying.

  • Real-Time Calculations

    Calculations that immediately show you the final payslip. Real-time gross-to-net (G2N) calculations without the need for official pay runs allow for error detection throughout the month with no downtime.

  • Automatic Legislative Updates

    Stay compliant effortlessly with automatic updates to tax tables and legislative calculations across all supported countries. We also provide legislative reporting in the required formats for all supported countries.

    Access comprehensive historical HR and payroll data at any time, including payslips, pay rates, leave records and reports. Empower smarter decision making with a single source of truth for audits, compliance, and workforce planning.

    Limitless and configurable workflow steps in our HR and payroll software cater for online approval of all transactions in real-time while housing document attachments too.

  • Intuitive Third-Party Integrations

    Integrates seamlessly with HRIS/HCMs, accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks, and other platforms through pre-defined API endpoints. Workday GPC certified.

  • Module Integration

    No separate run required to calculate leave balances and provisions. Access one employee record for all modules, where payroll software components will trigger leave adjustments in real time, and vice versa.

    Choose your preferred data entry method: individual entries or bulk uploads via Excel or on-screen for both recurring and one-time components.

  • Transparent Calculation Breakdown

    Gain clear insights into payroll computations with detailed views of calculation methods and full tax breakdowns per payslip.

    Get comprehensive payroll and HR reporting tailored to each country’s local requirements. The platform offers powerful, configurable reports with flexible parameters for deep insights into your workforce and payroll.
