HAP Recruitment boosts employee satisfaction and drives savings with Sage 50 Payroll
Harris and Porter Recruitment - United Kingdom
HAP Recruitment provides temporary staff for festivals and events. The company had seen steady growth but wanted to increase transparency and make savings.
Growing efficiencies and reducing costs – at scale
HAP has tens of thousands of staff on its books and previously used a third-party payroll provider to process 1,500–3,500 payslips each week. They needed to reduce costs and keep pricing competitive, as well as increase transparency. HAP wanted to integrate internal systems into one; this meant bringing payroll in-house. Their provider had used Sage 50 Payroll, and HAP wanted to do the same.
We wanted something that was low risk and that we could have confidence in. That was Sage.

Extensive Sage functionality pleases HAP and its workforce
With at least 1,500 payslips processed each week, HAP mirrored its Sage Payroll functionality alongside its third-party provider to check for anomalies. During integration, HAP had time with a Sage Payroll expert, so everything went smoothly. Now, HAP enjoys greater transparency and capability, and staff like the new, more detailed payslips. They plan to integrate more systems.
Given the scale of the operation, the Sage Professional Services team played a crucial role in this integration period, ensuring everything worked cohesively.

Sage 50 Payroll: the foundation for systems integration
By using Sage in-house, HAP has saved countless hours for staff by reducing the time taken to conduct payroll queries, produce P45s and onboard staff. And, HAP is already looking to integrate its other systems into Sage. For example, being able to track annual leave via Sage and show it on payslips would aid HAP’s transparency goals.
We have substantially boosted our bottom line and have now taken control of our data enhancing experience with Sage 50 Payroll.
