• Reducing administration time spent keying previously paper-based timesheets for payroll.

Benefits of Integration with Sage and Paxton
Automatically having employee details pull in from Sage saves time and avoids the need to add new starters to two systems. Integration with Paxton tracks working hours automatically and flags any exceptional hours, so no overtime is missed. This has helped reduce payroll queries from staff.
