Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers for engineering, finance, and operations leaders evaluating CEDX.

How does CEDX People connect with Finance and Project Management?

Because CEDX People (074), CEDX Payroll (052), CEDX Expenses (049), and CEDX Projects (085) share the same database, approved time-off automatically updates project resource capacity, and payroll/expense runs post directly to the CEDX Books general ledger.

Can we use CEDX for both full-time employees and global contractors?

Yes. CEDX People (074) and CEDX Payroll (052) manage W-2/full-time employees while CEDX Contractors (083) handles contractor onboarding, SOWs, milestone approvals, and global payouts.
