For many contract cleaning companies in Ireland, payroll will be intricately connected to their time and attendance (T&A) systems. These systems record the hours cleaners on payroll have been in the field delivering cleaning services and fulfilling contracts.



Firms that still rely on paper-based approaches to T&A or that make use of overly complex spreadsheets will often find that they open to potential inaccuracies. Many financial directors and HR managers in cleaning companies are, therefore, looking to replace their legacy systems with an up-to-date digital payroll system that can work with a software-based approach to T&A.
