SAP payroll from one of SAP’s most experienced partners

PeopleHub is powered by SAP’s most powerful payroll engine, so your payroll runs on the same engine as your HR - not a separate system stitched alongside it.

For organisations that have invested in SAP, that means payroll and HR share one source of truth, one compliance framework, and one expert partner behind them.

SAP-native by design

This is not payroll connected to SAP - it is payroll built on SAP, by an SAP Gold Partner who works in the platform every day.

Your payroll data, handled to the highest standards 

Payroll is sensitive by nature, so security is built in - not bolted on. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, monitored around the clock by an in-house security team, and hosted in the EU/EEA, including in SAP’s own European data centre. Independent certifications and GDPR-by-design keep you audit-ready.
