What HR software does a 25-person team need?
A 25-person company needs one dependable place for people records, leave, sickness, documents and working patterns, with self-service and permissions but without an enterprise implementation project.
At 25 people, HollyHR adds manager workflows and controlled access without forcing you into a broad talent or workforce suite.
25 active employees cost £50 per month on Standard.
Standard is £2 per active employee each month, so 25 active employees cost £50 per month. Plus will cost £100 per month at this headcount when it launches. Prices are before applicable tax.
Give the first manager layer enough structure to work well.
Responsibility is becoming shared
Managers start making routine decisions, while one person still needs a dependable organisation-wide record.
Working patterns multiply
Part-time hours, starters and role changes make a copied staff list increasingly unreliable.
Access needs more shape
Useful manager context should not quietly become access to confidential pay, health or employee-relations information.

How much is HollyHR for 25 employees?
At the published Standard price of £2 per active employee per month, 25 active employees cost £50 per month before applicable tax.
Can different managers approve leave for a 25-person team?
Yes, where each manager has the relevant role and team scope. HollyHR lets managers review and decide the requests assigned to them without automatically opening the organisation's confidential HR records.
Can employees and managers have their own access?
Yes. Employees can use the self-service available to their role, while managers can receive the team context and actions they need. That does not give either group blanket access to confidential HR records.
Can we export our records if our needs change?
Yes. Authorised administrators can prepare an organisation export with the supported record datasets and eligible uploaded files. Export remains available if the account later becomes read-only.
Can we import an existing staff spreadsheet?
Yes. HollyHR supports CSV import for the core people dataset. Start with a clean source file, check the mapped fields and keep the original until the imported records have been reviewed.
Start free with up to 10 active employees.
Bring your team over from a spreadsheet. There is no card, no sales call and no lock-in. For up to 10 active employees, everyday HR is free.
