Payroll and HR tabs in Cintra People
The full Cintra People product uses both Cintra People HR and Cintra People Payroll as an integrated solution:
Cintra People HR: manages employee information and all your organisation's HR processes.
All users can update their details, complete tasks, view their payslips, and request holidays.
HR teams maintain accurate employee records and manage organisational processes.
HR can also run reports and oversee compliance activities.
Cintra People Payroll: manages all your pay‑related information and helps payroll teams process pay accurately.
All users can view their payslips, P60s and pay history, as well as request holidays.
Payroll staff can manage pay details, make additions / deductions, and submit payrolls.
Payroll staff can also access and customise a wide variety of useful reports and dashboards.
Depending on your organisation and your user permissions, you may see other tabs, such as Bureau.
HR is the master system: employee records are created and maintained in HR, then sync automatically to Payroll. This ensures your employee information stays consistent across both systems.
