Frequently asked

HR Systems FAQ

What does HR digitalisation actually involve for a Hong Kong SME?

Moving the things that currently live in spreadsheets and email into one system: employee records and contracts, leave and attendance, payroll inputs, and the statutory paperwork — MPF or ORSO contributions and the IR56 series. The work is as much about agreeing how your processes should run as it is about the software.

We run everything on Excel. Where do we start?

With your requirements, not with software. We map how people are hired, paid, and leave today, write down what has to be true for Hong Kong compliance, and only then decide what the system has to do. Cleaning up employee data is usually the step that takes longest, so we start it early.

What happens to our existing employee data?

It is cleaned, mapped and migrated. We agree a cut-off, move historical records across, and run the first cycle alongside your existing process so you can compare the numbers before relying on the system.

How much does it cost?

We scope and quote after a short call, based on headcount, how many modules you need, and the state of your current records. The first consultation is complimentary.

How long does it take?

It depends on headcount, how many modules go live at once, and how tidy your current records are. A small team moving payroll and leave first is a much shorter project than a full roll-out across every module — we give you a timeline after scoping.

Do you help with Hong Kong-specific compliance like MPF, ORSO, and IR56?

Yes — it is the part we care most about. The system has to handle MPF or ORSO contributions, the IR56B / IR56E / IR56F / IR56G filings, statutory holidays and the Employment Ordinance as they actually apply in Hong Kong. The same expertise sits behind our Payroll Outsourcing service.
