resources to make sure you meet deadlines and keep
your customers happy.

accurate records of time off

obtain a license or registration to carry out their job?
For example, HGV licences, gas safety checks, or any
other qualification, licence, registration or professional
memberships.
Sage 50 HR gives you the flexibility to monitor this
and any other unique information that’s relevant to
your business. It even helps you keep up to date with
automatic reminders to prompt you when qualifications
need renewing.
So you know your employees have the skills and
qualifications they need to do their job and can continue
to offer great service to your customers.
