Everything you need in one place

Real-time absence calculations

Absence data flows directly into payroll, applying your organisation's policies and rules along the way. Keep things accurate and remove manual calculations, while absence-related pay adjustments happen within the same pay period.

Employee self-service

Whether they're at their desk or on the move, employees can manage absences and check entitlements easily through the People First mobile app. This means less stress and more time for things that matter.

Shared absence calendars

Give managers and employees a clear view of who's available when. Shared calendars make it easy to coordinate workloads and cover gaps when people are away.

AI assistance

Ask People First questions without needing to search through modules and reports, connecting your data into one combined answer. This turns your insight into action by providing clear steps, improving every decision.
