These features provide HR teams and managers a single platform to manage their workforce from hire to retire.

Key benefits

Sage Human Capital Management provides the following:

Centralized HR system of record: A single source for employee data and HR operations. This is designed to scale with mid-sized organizations without the complexity of enterprise platforms.
Payroll tightly integrated with HR data: Employee information flows directly into payroll processing, reducing manual entry, minimizing errors, and eliminating duplicate data maintenance.
Time and attendance tracking: Capture hours worked through time clocks, mobile check-in with geolocation, and schedule-based entries, all feeding directly into payroll.
Manager approvals and reporting: Configurable approval workflows provide managers visibility over timesheets, leave requests, and performance reviews from a centralized dashboard.
Scheduling: Build and publish shift schedules, manage open shifts, and give employees real-time visibility into their upcoming work. This can be achieved using Sage HCM's mobile app.
Talent acquisition and referrals: Manage job postings, track candidates through a configurable recruiting pipeline, and administer employee referral plans with automated bonus tracking and payroll integration.
Performance and succession planning: Set goals, conduct structured review cycles, and use the nine-box grid to identity and develop high-potential employees for succession planning.
Learning management: Deliver and track training courses for employees, supporting requirements and ongoing professional development.
Payroll deduction integration: Deductions are maintained in HR and flow automatically into payroll batches, keeping benefit and voluntary deduction data consistent across the platform.
Embedded AI and predictive insights: Surface workforce trends and predictive analytics directly in the platform to support data-driven decisions on staffing, retention, and compensation.
Configurable fields and custom pages: When your workflows require information that does not fit a standard field or page, use Sage HCM's custom fields and page builder. This allows you to extend the platform to match your processes, without losing integration continuity. Data captured through custom configurations flow through to the relevant applications, reports, and connected systems as expected.

How it works

Sage HCM connects every stage of the employee lifecycle in a single, unified platform. When a candidate is hired through the recruiting process, their record is carried forward into HR onboarding automatically, with no duplicate data entry in Sage HCM. In HR, employee information, such as job title, pay rate, deductions, and cost centers, flows directly into payroll processing, so payroll batches are built on current, accurate data.

Time and attendance data captured through physical time clock devices, or the Sage HCM mobile app, or manager-entered schedules fed into payroll at the close of the period. Employees can view and request changes to their schedules, submit leave request, and access pay stubs and HR documents through the Self-Service portal, reducing administrative load on HR teams.

Manager workflows are enabled by role and department. Approval chains for timesheets, leave, expense claims, and performance reviews are routed to the right managers automatically. Notifications are sent through the platform and by email.

Sage HCM integrates with leading ERP systems and project management platforms, including Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP ERP, IFS ERP, Unanet, and Procore. HR and payroll data flows effortlessly across your enterprise. These connections support real-time syncing of time entries, payroll journals, employee profiles, project and task data, and financial dimensions. This provides finance and operation teams accurate, up-to-date visibility without manual exports or reconciliation.
