HR paperwork may sound like a small easy job. But multiply that across your team and the time soon adds up.


๏ปฟHere are all of the different ways that HR admin is causing you problems:

PTO tracking: Fielding questions about remaining days, manually calculating accruals, checking who's off when.

Payroll admin: Gathering hours worked, calculating overtime, dealing with queries about pay.

Employee questions: Answering basic questions that they could look up themselves.

Compliance gaps: Employment law changes regularly, and manual tracking means a higher chance of missing updates to minimum wage, overtime rules or local leave requirements.

Growing pains: During busy periods, HR admin becomes the thing that slows down hiring or managing extra staff.

Error costs: Manual processes mean mistakes happen, which can be expensive to fix.


What's a simple hack to reduce HR admin? It's HR software.
