Give employees better work-life balance
Strengthen compliance with employment laws
Make the organisation more productive and profitable

Rotageek's platform, integrated with Zellis HCM suite, means it’s now possible to assign the right employee to the right job, at the right time, with confidence in your payroll processing accuracy.

Read the interview with Jason from Rotageek

Integrating our tools with an HCM system delivers more effective workforce management at all levels.

Taking Zellis as our HR and payroll platform of choice allows data to flow seamlessly and securely between both systems in real time. This enables more accurate payroll processing due to employee information being automatically updated.

It also provides realtime visibility into who is working, doing what, and where. This makes it easier to cover empty shifts and reassign oversubscribed ones."
