Employees update their own details and request holiday in the app. That said, moving past your tier headcount costs more than expected and the per person allowance is easy to misread when you are growing.

Great if your payroll is simple
The pension provider connection to NEST just worked, and sharing one audit trail with the accounts made year end simpler. No complaints so far.
Pros
The pension provider connection to NEST just worked.
Cons
It is built for simple payrolls, multiple pay frequencies push its limits.
