Sage HR: Frequently asked questions

Sage HR is best suited to small and medium businesses for work on site or on the go. The intuitive design carries over to the Sage HR app so that employees, managers, and HR people can submit and manage time off, expenses, feedback, payslips and more from a desktop or mobile device.

HR applications are used for managing human resources functions like managing time off, expenses, reviews, and payslips. Our core HR mobile application works alongside Sage HR, our web-based solution that helps SMEs manage talent, giving users faster access to key features from their mobile devices.

It's free to use if you have a Sage HR monthly subscription. 

Online HR apps are a great way to take care of HR tasks on the go.

Your employees can:

  • Request time off from absence to holidays
  • View payslips and IRP5 Tax certificates
  • Access the shared calendar to see who’s available in their team
  • Request feedback from other colleagues
  • Claim expenses in multiple currencies

Your managers and HR teams can:

  • Accept or decline time off requests with instant notification
  • Publish and view payslips and IRP5 Tax certificates
  • Access the shared calendar to see who’s available in their team
  • Share feedback with other colleagues
  • Accept or decline expenses in multiple currencies

Yes, Sage HR has a mobile app, which is available for download on both iOS and Android devices. The mobile app allows employees and managers to access key HR information and perform various HR-related tasks on the go, such as checking their work schedule, submitting time off requests, viewing payslips and more.

The Sage HR mobile app is available from Google Play on Android and Apple App Store on iOS. You can also access Sage HR via your web browser in Safari, Chrome or Edge.

Your smartphone will give you more than enough speed to use Sage HR smoothly. Sage HR is designed for high performance even on low internet speeds (around 2Mb). A standard 3G phone connection should suffice for our Android and iPhone apps for accounting.

Sage HR is the ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses, whether you have a handful of employees or up to 250 employees. The software is designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate, even for those with limited HR experience. 

Sage HR is perfect for businesses that want to simplify their HR processes and automate administrative tasks such as self-service, timesheets, leave management, performance management, reporting, benefits administration, and more.

 

Absolutely. If you purchase Sage HR and want to cancel for any reason, you simply click “cancel my subscription” on your dashboard. Then your subscription ends and you will not be billed for the following month. You can also cancel individual add-on features just as easily. 

Sage HR is ideal for companies with fewer than 250 employees whereas Sage People is ideal for growing multinational businesses with 250-5,000 employees.  

Both are designed to be long-lasting systems, and both solutions give you the fundamentals of workforce management: HR statistics, workforce planning, absence management, timesheets, performance reviews, fast reporting, and hiring. 

Our customer support team are committed to providing excellent customer support by sharing the latest HR insights, knowledge and resources. You can get support by phone, email, online chat, and live online Q&As.
