Frequently asked questions
Is it worth switching from Excel?
For most teams, yes. You stop reconciling balances by hand, managers see who else is off before approving, and employees can check their own balance instead of asking HR.
Can I import my spreadsheet data?
Yes. Import your employees from a spreadsheet and set opening balances, and we help you import your data if you need it.
