What this service does

DeskGo workforce and payroll connects the people record with the monthly salary process. Start with company rules, keep employee information current, and use approval checkpoints before payroll is finalized.

Start with the workflow you need. DeskGo is modular, so a company can enable this service without being required to use every other DeskGo module.

Who it is for
