What HR software does a 50-person team need?
A 50-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 50 people, HollyHR provides dependable core HR, manager self-service and open data without a suite-sized rollout.
50 active employees cost £100 per month on Standard.
Standard is £2 per active employee each month, so 50 active employees cost £100 per month. Plus will cost £200 per month at this headcount when it launches. Prices are before applicable tax.
People admin is now an operation, even when the product stays simple.
HR now has a weekly operating rhythm
Approvals, sickness, starters and record changes arrive often enough to need visible queues and consistent ownership.
Managers need useful independence
Routine team actions should move without HR becoming a forwarding service for every request.
Hand-offs need repeatable data
Payroll and reporting are easier when they begin with current records and named changes rather than a monthly spreadsheet reconciliation.

How much is HollyHR for 50 employees?
At the published Standard price of £2 per active employee per month, 50 active employees cost £100 per month before applicable tax.
Can HR handle several leave requests together?
Yes. HollyHR supports bulk approval of eligible time-off requests and reports any request that could not be completed. Managers and HR can still review an individual request when it needs more context.
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.
