Bottom Line: Safe payroll processing in the cloud including other essential processes.

Product Overview

APS Payroll Online is a cloud-based workforce management solution that helps companies with an all-in-one platform, also providing core human resources processes like benefits administration, employee self-service, and time and attendance, among others.

Designed for companies of all sizes, APS Payroll enables automation of manual processes to win companies back the valuable time they need to effectively run their business.

APS is a scalable, centralized system of record that frees up time for managers to more effectively manage their team.

Their tax compliance functionality works to keep payroll taxes paid in full, and in a timely fashion.

Payroll processing is further optimized by combining with core features like time and attendance so that key information is the same, no matter where it is accessed from.

Application integrations are available for hundreds of other systems, including general ledger, point of sale, time and attendance, and more, so that companies only need to use one HR system.

Furthermore, payroll data can be solidified with time and attendance programming. The time and attendance platform is specifically designed to be agile and efficient and interwoven into the key processes of Core HR and payroll. Labor expenses can be simply managed and track, compliance risks minimized, and reports run in an accurate fashion to empower managers to make the most informed decisions.
