When Standard is a perfect fit?
The Standard package covers most day-to-day tasks and gives you everything you need to manage your workforce efficiently:
Employee directory & org-chart – directory with all employees within the company and a visual representation of the company structure and reporting lines.
Home page with announcements, news feed and polls to keep everyone in the loop.
Leave management – create leave policies, set their accruals, and allow employees to request and keep track of their time off through the platform.
Onboarding / offboarding workflows to streamline and automate repeatable processes within an organization. Using workflows, you can set tasks, generate documents, send emails or invitations to the system, and much more. The package gives the flexibility to create workflows that can be triggered manually, Once-off, or automatically on the employee's first day, last day, or even at the end of their probation period.
2 HR-forms to automate adding new hires to the system (New Hire Form) and managing a phase between a new hire accepting a job offer and their official start date to request essential information and documents (Pre-boarding Form).
Document & asset management - separate places for document and asset storage and tracking.
Knowledge base - organise all important information for your company in one place.
Reports & analytics – monitor essential workforce metrics.
If you’re looking for core HR features like employee databases, time off tracking, workflows, and reporting, the Standard package covers all your essential needs.
When to upgrade to Professional?
If your team requires advanced automation, broader system functionality and support for more complex HR operations, the Professional package is the way to go. The Professional package includes everything available in the Standard package, plus the following options:
Recurring workflows & additional triggers – in addition to the Standard package triggers, you can create recurring workflows or those that trigger on birthdays, anniversaries, or custom date fields.
