From Workforce Activity to Financial Impact.
Connected HR operating model
Connect HR and payroll activity to Enterprise Operations, the general ledger, Financial Intelligence and FP&A so workforce decisions use the same governed enterprise context.

- Payroll / cost
- Journal / finance
- Analytics

Organisational context
Entity, branch, department, cost centre and project, with effective-dated assignments that split cost by percentage.
Finance connection
An approved payroll posts one balanced journal to the group chart of accounts, split across departments, cost centres and projects.
Planning connection
Payroll cost, headcount and average salary feed FP&A as forecast drivers.
One workforce truth for HR, finance and management, not separate reconciled copies.

Govern the Workforce Lifecycle.
HR & payroll operations
Support the core workforce and payroll activities required by the operating model, with controlled access, workflow and traceable changes.
People & organisation
Employee records, effective-dated contracts, departments, cost centres, projects and cost-allocation assignments.
Time & availability
Leave by type with entitlements and balances; monthly attendance, absence and overtime.
Payroll
Configurable gross-to-net: allowances, overtime, social insurance, flat or banded tax, loan recovery and end-of-service accrual, paid through bank payment batches.
Control
Maker, checker and approver with four-eyes rules and approval limits by amount, automated checks that payslips recompute and tie to the ledger, period locks and a full event history.
Localisation
Social-insurance rates, tax bands and leave rules configured per entity or nationality, for supported deployments only.
Turn Workforce Data Into Management Intelligence.
Workforce intelligence
Move beyond HR administration with governed workforce analytics that help leaders understand headcount, turnover, cost and where pressure is building.
Headcount & workforce mix
By entity, department, location, nationality and contract type, with the monthly trend.
Joiners, leavers & turnover
Movement into and out of the workforce, and the turnover rate over time.
Workforce cost
Payroll and full workforce cost with employer on-costs, cost per employee, and cost by department, cost centre and project.
Overtime & absence
Overtime hours and cost by department and employee; absence rate and leave days.
Productivity context
Revenue per employee, and workforce cost as a share of revenue and operating expense.
Exceptions & trends
Set thresholds flag overtime and turnover pressure for review, and payroll is tied out to the ledger.
Make Workforce Cost a Planning Variable, Not a Reporting Surprise.
Workforce cost & planning
Connect workforce actuals, headcount drivers and compensation assumptions to finance so management can understand cost pressure and test workforce choices before committing them.
Baseline
Current headcount and workforce cost by entity, department, cost centre and project.
Drivers
Headcount, payroll cost and average salary, taken from approved payroll.
Forecast
An editable driver formula, headcount × average salary × (1 + salary assumption), projects payroll cost in FP&A.
Scenarios
Test headcount and salary assumptions in FP&A scenarios before committing.
Cost optimisation
Overtime pressure, cost by unit and workforce cost against revenue, surfaced for management review; no automatic employment decisions.

Ask Better Workforce Questions. Get Governed Decision Context.
AI-assisted workforce intelligence
Use the CONSOLYX AI dashboard on authorised payroll, employee and journal data to explain trends, compare units and focus management attention.
Explain
What is driving workforce-cost variance?
Compare
Which entities or departments show the largest change in headcount or overtime?
Anticipate
Where is payroll cost heading on the current trend?
Prioritise
Which workforce exceptions or trends require management review?
The AI dashboard is a general finance assistant that reads governed tables within the user’s authorised group; it is not a separate workforce model. Reporting packs can add an AI-written narrative over the Hire-to-Pay figures, labelled as AI-generated. Alerts inside Hire-to-Pay are calculated from set thresholds, not generated.
- Answers point back to governed payroll and journal data and stay separate from approved HR records.
- It reads; it does not change employee, payroll or approval records.
- No inference of feelings, protected characteristics or individual performance scores.
- No hiring, termination, promotion or pay decisions: approvals stay with accountable people.
