It brings people records, leave, documents, performance, reporting and compliance into one place, replacing scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools. What's included Core HR: secure central employee records and documents, holiday and leave requests, sickness and absence tracking, self-service, e-signatures, performance management (goals, feedback, one-to-ones, reviews), reporting and analytics. Optional modules: - e-Learning: training management, UK-specific courses, completion tracking - Health and Safety: risk assessments, incident reports, certifications, compliance evidence - Recruitment: hiring workflows, job ads, candidate tracking - Expenses: claims, receipts, manager approval, spend tracking - Rota, Time and Attendance: shifts, availability, hours, attendance In development: an AI Assistant answering HR and policy questions from company information. Payroll planned for late 2026. Problems solved - Scattered data → one accurate central record - Chasing approvals → self-service, e-signatures, shared workflows - Lean HR teams → start with Core HR, add modules as needs grow Result: less duplicate entry and chasing, clearer visibility, more manager and employee involvement. Who it's for Best fit: UK SMEs with up to 200 employees moving HR off spreadsheets, e.g. start-ups, charities, healthcare, retail, education and professional services, especially with lean or shared HR roles. Evaluate carefully: 200+ employees, or needs for multinational payroll, complex global compliance, extensive custom workflows or enterprise workforce planning. Not a global enterprise HCM suite.

Homebase: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We love this program for scheduling our employees. We set the clock so that they can't clock-in early and it has geo-fencing which lets us know if they're where they need to be. It can be sued as a base for payroll, which is very useful. Cons The schedules can occasionally get confusing, but once you use it often enough, it's not an issue.	Jolt: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It’s easy for employees to know how to complete checklists digitally rather than on paper. Food safety as well. - A very exhaustive and well thought out feature set for businesses that need a lot of customization to make the tool useful. - It even has time tracking etc. for individual workers that can help you manage several gig workers who work on hourly or daily basis. Cons Their pricing is a little high compared to other companies who do the same thing. No major cons except the fact that it takes a while for the workers to get accustomed to technology.
