Cloud HR software for managing people records, recruiting, absences and payroll preparation in small and medium companies.
About Personio
Personio is a cloud-based human resources platform built mainly for small and medium-sized companies. It brings employee records and common HR tasks into one web-based system, replacing spreadsheets and paper files.
The product is generally described as covering the main stages of the employee lifecycle, from hiring through to day-to-day administration and payroll preparation. It is developed by Personio, a company founded in Munich, Germany.
- Central employee database with digital personnel files
- Recruiting and applicant tracking
- Absence and time-off management
- Attendance and working-time tracking
- Payroll preparation and export to payroll providers
- Reporting and HR analytics
Personio is delivered as a hosted web service and needs an internet connection. Payroll and compliance features are designed around European, particularly German, requirements, so Ghanaian businesses should check how well they fit local rules such as PAYE and SSNIT before choosing it.
