Contract terms
Manage different work arrangements with ease
Working arrangements in the charity sector are often far from straightforward. That can make even every-day tasks, such as calculations of entitlements to paid time off, a real headache for busy HR teams.
Cezanne is designed to take employees on multiple contracts or different working time patterns in its stride. From automated calculation of leave or TOIL to routing authorisations to the right people, Cezanne dramatically reduces HR admin overheads, ensures data accuracy and makes HR simpler for employees too.

Training and development
Stay on top of skills and qualifications
Whether you want to proactively encourage employee development or evidence appropriate training and certification, Cezanne makes that easier too. It lets you bring together and report on employees’ skills and qualifications, manage supporting documents, set up development plans, track course completion and much more.
Where certificates or training need to be renewed, automatic reminders ensure everyone knows when critical dates are coming up, whilst Cezanne’s integrated Performance management module supports a focus on continuous development.

Employee engagement
Boost employee loyalty and retention
Where employees are based in different locations, working remotely or perhaps just contributing a few hours a week, creating that all-important sense of community for your charity or not for profit can be challenging. Cezanne acts as your communication hub, making it easy to bring people together.
From company updates and saying thanks to informative HR portals and easy onboarding, Cezanne’s HR software suite helps you promote your charity’s unique culture and values.

Recruitment and onboarding
Reduce the cost of filling vacancies
If you need to take on seasonal staff quickly or ensure a steady stream of new recruits, a fast, efficient and cost-effective recruitment and onboarding process is essential.

Payroll
Simplify payroll processing
Processing payroll can take a lot of time, especially if your charity has staff on multiple contracts or working different hours. That’s why we also offer a Managed Payroll service. All you need to do is ensure your people data is up to date, and we’ll manage the time-consuming payroll processing for you.
Alternatively, you can take advantage of one of the many integrations we have with leading third-party payroll providers. Whatever your approach, you’ll benefit from more connected and easier to manage payroll – and a better service for your people.
