Profile
Provides cloud-based human capital management software as a service. Its unified database supports payroll, HR, talent, time-and-labor and related workflows, with employees directly participating in payroll through Beti.
Provides a comprehensive cloud-based human capital management platform delivered as software as a service. Its single-database approach brings payroll, HR, talent, time-and-labor and related employee-management workflows together rather than relying on multiple HCM providers.
Beti lets employees review and complete their own payroll-related work, while GONE automates time-off decisions that flow into scheduling, payroll and time-and-attendance workflows. Ask Here uses company policies, documentation and saved responses to answer employee questions.
Founded in Oklahoma City, the company remains led by founder and CEO Chad Richison. Its product strategy is assigned to a chief automation officer, and the platform's operating premise depends on integrating employee data and HR workflows in one system.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
