FAQ

Questions, answered simply.

Who is HRHQ for?

Small and medium businesses that want proper HR tools without enterprise-level complexity: owners, managers and anyone looking after people as part of a bigger job.

Is my business's information kept separate?

Yes. Every business on HRHQ gets its own separate database, so your employee information is never mixed with anyone else's.

Can I bring in my existing staff list?

Yes. You can import employees in bulk from a spreadsheet, along with your departments, job titles and branches.

How does attendance tracking work?

Pick what fits your workplace: staff clock in and out, a manager enters time manually, you import a timesheet, or you connect a biometric device.

How do I get started?

Choose a plan, fill in the short sign-up form and choose your business web address. We'll email you an activation link to finish setting up.
