The problem

HR is too important to live in spreadsheets and disconnected tools — yet many teams still reconcile people data with finance every month.

  • 01Employee, payroll, and time data are duplicated between HR software, email, and the ERP, creating version drift and manual reconciliation.
  • 02Leave policies, approvals, and accruals are hard to enforce consistently across locations and managers.
  • 03Payroll and finance see different numbers until errors surface during close — costing time, trust, and compliance effort.
  • 04Leadership lacks a single, trustworthy view of headcount, cost, and workforce risk tied to operational reality.
Fragmented HR vs. HR in Business Central

What changes when HR is part of the same platform as finance and operations.

Fragmented HR

  • Multiple systems for employees, time, payroll exports, and documents.
  • Manual hand-offs between HR, payroll, and finance every pay cycle.
  • Limited traceability from a journal line back to the underlying HR event.
  • Reporting that lags and rarely matches the ERP subledger.
  • Higher total cost of ownership for integrations, licences, and upkeep.

HR Complete Extension

  • Employee lifecycle data modelled where transactions already post.
  • Payroll and finance aligned on dimensions, approvals, and audit expectations.
  • Clear lineage from operational HR actions to financial outcomes.
  • Dashboards and lists built on live Business Central data.
  • One partner stack: Business Central core plus specialised HR capability.
Capabilities

A complete HR footprint, delivered as an extension — not a bolt-on SaaS island.

HR Complete Extension expands Business Central into a structured HR hub. Each area below is designed for day-to-day operations, controlled access, and reporting that finance and HR can share with confidence.

Employee management

Central employee records, contracts, positions, and personal data with role-based access.

Payroll management

Payroll runs integrated with finance so postings and controls stay in one governed environment.

Leave & vacation

Balances, policies, approvals, and entitlements tracked with clear audit history.

Attendance & timesheets

Capture and review working time so operations and payroll see the same picture.

Contracts & documents

Store and link employment documents to the employee record for retrieval and compliance.

Performance management

Structure goals, reviews, and follow-ups so performance data supports decisions, not ad-hoc files.

Recruitment & onboarding

Streamline hiring steps and onboarding tasks so new joiners land in BC with consistent data quality.

HR reports & analytics

Real-time lists and dashboards for headcount, cost, absence, and workforce trends.

Where it helps most

Typical scenarios organisations standardise on Business Central HR.

These patterns reflect how mid-market and enterprise teams use HR inside ERP: fewer interfaces, clearer ownership, and faster period-end.

Payroll & finance

Close with fewer payroll surprises.

Align payroll calculation, approvals, and posting with your chart of accounts and dimensions — reducing rework between HR controllers and finance.

Leave & compliance

Policies that behave the same everywhere.

Apply leave types, accruals, and approval chains consistently across departments and entities.

Operations

Time that ties to real work.

Connect attendance and timesheets to projects and cost centres where your organisation already tracks effort.

People leaders

Visibility without exporting.

Give managers approved views of their teams — turnover risk, absence trends, and contract milestones — without spreadsheet packs.

IT & security

Same BC security model.

Leverage Business Central permissions, auditing, and environments instead of duplicating identity rules in another HR product.

Growth

Scale headcount without scaling chaos.

Onboard hires through structured templates so master data stays clean as the organisation grows.

Inside Business Central

HR screens that feel like part of the same product — because they are.
