Collect & Transfer Payroll Data
Once set up, simply access the current personnel and payroll data via the monthly change report and transfer them to DATEV with just a few clicks.
Start Payroll & Distribute Documents
Once the data is in DATEV, the payroll process is completed as usual. The resulting payslips are then made available digitally and automatically in each employee's personal HRlab document archive.
