Overview

Sage HR (formerly CakeHR) is a cloud-based HR management platform offering leave management, shift scheduling, timesheets, performance reviews, and an employee directory. It is part of the broader Sage ecosystem, which may appeal to Irish businesses already using Sage for accounting or payroll. Sage HR provides EU data hosting for GDPR compliance. Pricing is approximately EUR 5 per employee per month, though businesses should verify current rates directly. It is suited to Irish SMEs with 6 to 50 employees in professional services and tech who need a straightforward HR tool without the complexity of enterprise HRIS platforms.
