“It’s been more cost-effective for us to go to an outsourced model now that it has been implemented. It’s been a great change and that’s not only in the cost that we’re paying on a monthly basis but also in terms of my time and the time that people in the organisation are spending on payroll.”

“Ascender has the flexibility that we need for our payroll and leave management, and it’s great working with their support team.”
