What is Cintra People?
Cintra People is a combined HR and payroll system that helps organisations like yours manage their employees and their pay.
- If you're a HR or payroll professional, Cintra People provides the tools and information you manage your staff.
- If you're a standard employee, Cintra People lets you manage your work life - such as booking leave or checking your pay - with a minimum of hassle.
HR and Payroll modules
Currently, Cintra People comprises two key modules - Payroll and HR. Your organisation may only use one of these modules, but if they use both, the same set of data is used across both modules, ensuring a unified view of your organisation's personnel and their pay.
To find out what you can do as an employee, go to: Article: Guide for employees
XX - Questions - XX
- For customer employees who use BOTH modules, is there any distinction between HR and Payroll? Or will it just be Cintra People to them?
- For employees who only have access to ONE module, will they even know what they have? e.g. will they know they have Payroll or HR?
- For BOTH module customers, there is some crossover (e.g. booking time off or viewing docs)... is this confined to only employee hub? Or is there other crossover between HR and Payroll?
