Payroll management is a time-consuming task for human services companies of all sizes. On average, companies spend between 2 and 5 days a month on this task, according to a study carried out by the AFG (The French Financial Management Association). This precious time could be devoted to other strategic aspects of the business. In this article we explain the requirements of payroll and how PROGISAP and Silae solutions can save you time in payroll management.
