While indirect integration has a few advantages above a paper-based solution, it cannot compare to the powerful benefits of direct payroll integration. Direct integration eliminates human error as well as a tremendous reduction in the possibility of fraud. <br \/>The duplicate entry of data into two separate systems can also increase the number of hours required for payroll personnel to insert and maintain data.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-729703f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"729703f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce68734 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce68734\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The more employees a company has, the higher their requirement for standard data administration becomes, direct integration therefore also aims to reduce the hours spent on standard data administration. We\u2019ve seen a reduction in payroll administration hours of 8+ hours down to a single hour or two for a small company, and a tremendous 900+ hour reduction in payroll administration for 7000+ employee clients. Not only does direct integration make your payroll run go more smoothly and accurately, but it also frees up the hands of your HR and payroll administrators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-940b129 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"940b129\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c1ac3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c1ac3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Custom Payroll Integration<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ce7ad1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3ce7ad1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a02317 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a02317\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One step beyond direct integration is custom integration between your time and attendance and payroll solutions.
