FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers about the ZEP Sage HR integration.
Who is the Sage HR integration with ZEP suitable for?
The integration is suitable for service and consulting companies that use Sage HR for personnel management and ZEP for project time tracking and project controlling. Companies that maintain employee data centrally in Sage HR and want to ensure that ZEP always works with current HR data — without manual duplicate maintenance between both systems — benefit particularly from this.
What is Sage HR and how does it differ from ZEP?
Sage HR is a cloud-based HR system for managing employee data, absences and HR processes. ZEP is a project time tracking and invoicing platform for project service providers. The integration connects both worlds: HR data is maintained centrally in Sage HR and is automatically available in ZEP for time tracking, absence management and project controlling.
Does the Sage HR synchronization work in both directions?
No, the interface transfers data exclusively from Sage HR to ZEP. Sage HR remains the leading system for employee master data and absences. Changes in ZEP are not transferred back to Sage HR. This ensures that Sage HR is maintained as the central HR data source, while ZEP always works with current data.
How does the Sage HR integration help with project time tracking in ZEP?
For employees to be able to record project time in ZEP, their master data and employment periods must be correctly stored in ZEP. The Sage HR integration ensures that this data is automatically kept up to date. New employees are created in ZEP, and absences are immediately available for reporting and resource planning — without any manual follow-up.
What data is synchronized from Sage HR to ZEP?
The integration transfers employee master data such as first name, last name, email, mobile number, employee number and start date from Sage HR to ZEP. In addition, absences including absence reason, start and end date, and whether the absence is full-day or half-day are automatically transferred. Long absence periods are automatically split into appropriate segments.
