Your business probably started with a flash of inspiration. And after that moment of clarity, nothing will come between you and your goal. That is, until you start employing people to meet the needs of your growing enterprise.
When is the right time to employ HR professionals and get back to devoting all your time to your core business? It’s a tricky question – probably because there isn’t a right answer. But if you’ve got hronline on your side, you’ll be amazed at how much time it frees up as you grow.
As you take on new staff, all you have to do is enter their details on a web-based application (and they can do much of it themselves). The information you hold is exactly what you’ll probably have been doing using an array of spreadsheets, files and paperwork … only it’ll all be in one place and accessible at the click of a mouse or the touch of a screen.
Employees can put in holiday requests themselves, and you’ll only have to take a quick look at the calendar to approve or deny them. Access to personal data is strictly limited to those granted it, so you can be assured that you’re staying on the right side of data protection legislation.
Inevitably, discipline will start to become an issue in a growing business. It’s not much fun, but keeping on top of discipline will ensure that things don’t start getting out of hand and that you’re being even-handed. Sickness, late arrival and disciplinary proceedings can all be logged against individual employees, and reporting will reveal where particular issues are arising.
There are three distinct levels of hronline: Standard, Plus and Premium. Our standard service lets you grow and run your HR and offers reporting, staff self-service, live tracking of presence and absence, downloadable documentation and other services. With Plus and Premium services, you’ll also have access to our employment law experts at times that suit you, a fantastic service that could save you thousands in legal costs.
