A complete, integrated Payroll/HR Solution

CintraHR is a integrated Human Resources and Payroll solution consisting of a set of base modules offering a wide range of functionality from recruitment to retirement. The key question is, though, will it work for my business? The answer lies, again, in our personal approach. We understand that organisations differ, not only by market sector, but individually, in terms of goals, strategies and, crucially, of resources.

What makes Cintra different is that we take the time to understand your requirements in detail and to talk through with you, before agreeing a sale, exactly how those requirements are to be met. This involves software configuration, of course, but also appropriate training, planning resource allocation, on both sides, and agreeing, in advance, an implementation plan that works. Investment in these systems is often substantial, not only financially, but also in staff time and commitment. The benefits can also be substantial. As your business partner we commit to delivering those benefits.

Flexible Configuration

While the main HR component of CintraHR resides on your server, the Cintra payroll may be run either in-house or using one of our out-sourced options.

Out-sourcing the payroll element is a popular option as it combines all the benefits of a fully integrated HR/payroll solution with the security and ease of use of a bureau service.

Whichever configuration you choose you only need enter data once to see its effect throughout the system and to get the benefits of detailed pay history available as a personnel reporting option

Select from a list of tables to import or export from, then select the fields that you want to export or import and then finally decide the format you are using e.g.CSV or tab delimited. During an import you can also ask the system to set up the tables and history records as you import data.

• As well as designing your own screen and fields you can specify calculations that manipulate data during the reading or writing of information and also validations that check the format and conditions before information is saved.
• Because the system is using a Microsoft SQL database then external stored procedures and triggers can also be introduced.
