HRIS and payroll recommendations

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations on a HR system which also does payroll.

The HR system needs to have ATS and performance included.

I work for a medium sized charity so cost is obviously an issue.

Would love to hear your recommendations on this.

Thanks,

Heather

  • AAaaaaah. No.

    Sorry, you're not going to find an HRIS that does all that as a standalone package at the kind of annual subscription that a charity will likely want to afford. You're talking about a full-on Cascade/Cezanne/MHR solution coming in at ~£8-10k per annum (headcount depending).

    However, you could easily get an HRIS with bolt-on ATS that will also do a data export to Sage and just get Sage50 Payroll. You'll probably want to get the pensions module, too (I recommend it). PeopleHR is probably the best choice in terms of data export to Sage for reasonable cost, but I don't know if it has a bolt-on ATS. breatheHR has a good ATS bolt-on, but doesn't do a payroll export (that I know of). This would likely come in at about £3-4k pa, depending on your choice. breatheHR is a good entry-level HRIS and free for charities, so that's a big saving right there, but I wouldn't recommend it for organizations with more than 200 staff.

    Sage, of course, also does its own HRIS alongside its Payroll and other products, but much as I'm a fan of its payroll software, its HRIS is *not* user friendly.

  • Unfortunately Breathe is no longer free to charities (and it was only free to charities with under 250 headcount) as they only had so many free licences to give away. They've now reached that limit (we signed up just before the end of that offer), but I believe they do still do a charity discount. I'd heartily recommend the system - it's easy to implement, easy to use, easy to report from. We haven't investigated a payroll export, but I think you can do something that allows payroll data to be moved in and out of Breathe.
