Q&A highlights
Yes. Overtime goes through an approval workflow, so supervisors and employees can see how close someone is to the limit, such as 48 hours a month. The threshold protects the employer from breaking the law without knowing it.
Yes. Local nuances come from working with partners and customers in each country. PeoplesHR generalizes them into the product so other customers in that region can use them too.
Encrypted fields cannot be read from the database or in transit. Only the system holds the logic to turn them back into readable data.
Yes. An annual assessment by a global body covers the products, platforms and cloud data centers. PeoplesHR holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 and SOC compliance, renewed every year.
It runs through a partner bank. An employee requests wages they have already earned, the company approves, and the bank pays out straight away. Advances are capped by a quota per client and settled at month end.
