HR and payroll: hire to payslip
Who this is for
HR managers, payroll officers and line managers.
The problem
Employee files sit in Excel, leave requests arrive by message and HR decisions are loose Word files, so leave balances and payroll data drift apart.

Honest limits
- Payroll has two parallel API stacks, and some functions (salary data import, employee tax profiles, salary grades) are API-only.
- The headcount planning page calls an API that does not exist and is not in the menu.
- Time clocks must speak the ADMS push protocol; supported brands are not verified.
- Personal data handling under Decree 13 is described in the HR and Payroll app pages; check them against your own compliance needs.
