HR software FAQs

How do HR and payroll work together?

As two critical departments in any organisation, it’s important that HR and payroll functions work together effectively. Key business tasks like ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time, employee benefits and deductions are correctly administered and tax, and other legal and compliance requirements are met, all require HR and payroll to work together in tandem. Integrated HR and payroll software like PeopleXD can help larger departments or those with more complex requirements, to automate joint HR and payroll tasks. Using technology to help manage the seamless flow of data between the two functions also helps reduce time-consuming admin, ensure consistent employee record keeping and reduces business risk and chances of error when personal data is shared.

What does HR software do?

HR software is used by human resource departments to automate and streamline tasks and processes. It’s digital, providing analytics and insights for businesses as well as tools and resources for employees. Many integral processes can be streamlined using online HR systems, including recruitment, people management, absence management and compliance. 

Learn more about enhancing productivity and automating your core HR tasks.

How to choose the right HR software for your business?

When choosing HR software for your business, consider the provider’s level of experience and customer support. Look for integrated solutions that are powerful enough to simplify complex tasks and consider a solution that is appropriate for the size of your business, with the ability to scale to your needs as you grow. This will save you time and money and ensure your investment is future-proofed. 

 

What is the difference between online HR software and on-premise HR software?

Online HR software is a common cloud-based system accessed through a web browser, whilst on-premise software is installed on a company’s own computers and servers. This difference in implementation leads to key variations in scalability and cost. Cloud-based HR software offers greater scalability, faster implementation, and lower upfront costs compared to on-premise systems.

What are the benefits of HR management software?

A HRMS can help you: 

  • Streamline your HR tasks, automate manual processes and have everything you need joined up, in one place  
  • Empower your people with self-service and mobile apps, which removes bottlenecks, reduces queries and eliminates frustration, adding to your employee experience  
  • Increase productivity and drive engagement, helping you build a culture of fulfilment, achievement and belonging which reduces employee churn  
  • Build a future-ready workforce: Attract, develop and retain your talent  
  • Improve data visibility with HR analytics tools that allow you to make informed, data-driven decisions.

What support do I get with HR software?

With Access, you’ll get dedicated account managers to help you from integration to everyday use. You’ll also get access to other support options such as online resources, and phone and email support when you need it. 

How does it integrate with payroll?

We also offer payroll software that integrates seamlessly with your HR software. 

How does our HR Software keep your organisation compliant with changing legislation?

Our cloud-based HR software takes the stress out of compliance by automatically updating in line with the latest legislative requirement, such as tax rates and bands. Updates are applied first in your test environment, giving you complete visibility and control before anything goes live. You’ll also receive timely notifications to ensure you're always informed and prepared.

No manual intervention is needed. We proactively manage all regulatory changes on your behalf, reducing risk and saving your team valuable time. It’s a worry-free approach that ensures your HR software remains compliant—seamlessly and securely.
