People & HR

vs the standalone HR app

HR wired to the work. Every timesheet hour traces from employee to contract to address with a chargeable flag, approved job time folds in automatically, and gross-to-net UK payroll — PAYE, NI, pension and CIS — runs off the same hours, so labour cost lands on the job, not in a silo.

Why it wins

  • Every hour traced employee → contract → address, with a chargeable/non-chargeable flag
  • Approved work-order time folds into timesheets automatically
  • Gross-to-net UK payroll — PAYE, NI, pension and CIS — off the same hours
  • Leave, absence and derived lateness in the same system as the operation
