The work on your desk

Make common HR tasks quick and understandable.

Employee self-service should answer the immediate question without exposing private information or requiring a training manual.
Records, tasks and decisions
Book time off

Self-service has to be obvious

A common task should be clear on the first visit, without training or knowledge of how HR stores the record.

Check your balance

Status matters as much as submission

People need to know whether a request is waiting, approved or declined without sending a follow-up message.

Find your documents

Private still means private

Finding your own information should never make another employee's confidential record visible.

Questions before you switch

Straight answers to common questions.

Check the practical details before deciding whether HollyHR fits your team.
How do I request leave and see its status?

Choose the dates in employee self-service and submit the request to the manager or approver your employer has assigned. HollyHR shows whether the request is pending, approved or declined.

Where can I see my holiday balance?

Your time-off view shows the allowance and balance calculated from the working pattern and leave year recorded by your employer. Ask your employer if either record needs correcting.

Which documents can I open in HollyHR?

You can open employee documents your organisation has made available to you. Access to other records follows your role and permissions, so another employee's private documents are not visible to you.

Can colleagues see why I am off sick?

The shared who's-away view can show that you are unavailable without showing a private sickness reason. More detailed absence information is limited by your employer's access settings and responsibilities.

Who decides whether my leave request is approved?

Your employer decides who can approve or decline requests and remains responsible for the decision. HollyHR records the request, its status and the action taken.

Start free with up to 10 active employees.
