Overview

What is Access PeopleHR?

Access PeopleHR is a cloud HR platform from The Access Group that brings employee records, absence and leave, recruitment, performance, and reporting into one system. Employees use self-service on web and mobile to book leave and view documents, while HR teams build custom reports and automate tasks with workflows called Ripples. It also links to payroll. HR managers, people teams, and operations leaders at small and midsize businesses use Access PeopleHR.

Integrations

Access PeopleHR integrations

Access PeopleHR connects employee data with payroll, recruiting, identity, and collaboration tools. It links to Access Payroll and offers a payroll loader for moving data to other payroll systems. Recruiting integrations include Indeed for Employers and Greenhouse, and reviewers mention a connection to the Appraisd performance tool. For identity and sign-in, it supports single sign-on with Okta, OneLogin, and Microsoft Azure. Teams can push notifications to Slack, sync time off with Google Calendar, and use Zapier to connect other apps without code. Reports export to Microsoft Excel, and the Ripples feature automates follow-up actions when employee data changes.
