Office and production teams need one employment record
Keep the current role, department, manager, location and agreed working pattern together instead of maintaining a separate staff list for each part of the business.
Training evidence needs to follow the person and the work
Record the evidence, requirement owner and next review date your safety process produces, while competence and safe operation remain with qualified managers and systems.
Shift work makes absence and cover more consequential
Keep holiday and sickness visible to the appropriate manager, with the agreed working pattern behind the record, while live scheduling and fatigue controls stay in operational tools.

Open templateStraight answers to common questions.
Does HollyHR include rotas or clock-in?
No. Use your workforce or production system for live shifts, clock-in, overtime and cover. HollyHR keeps the agreed working pattern, employment record, leave and sickness organised alongside it.
Can we record training and equipment competence evidence?
You can keep documents and dated requirements against the employee where that fits your safety and retention process. HollyHR does not deliver training, assess competence or confirm that a person is safe to use equipment.
Can HollyHR support more than one site or department?
Yes. Locations, departments, reporting lines and roles are part of the core people record. Use them to organise the team and assign appropriate manager access, not as a replacement for site access or safety controls.
Does HollyHR monitor working-time or fatigue limits?
No. HollyHR records agreed working patterns, leave and sickness, but it is not a time-and-attendance or fatigue-risk system. Use actual hours and current HSE and GOV.UK guidance when assessing shift design, night work and working-time compliance.
