HR and payroll in one simple app
Attendance and leave become the payslip, and salaries post to your books when you approve them. Keep every person's records in one place, from hiring to exit.
Free for 5 employees. 14-day trial of everything, no card.
Payroll is on the Professional plan. The free trial includes it.
From first interview to last payslip
Every step works on the same employee record. Start with what you need today, and add the rest when you are ready.
Post a job, move people along, send the offer
Every opening and applicant sits in one place. When someone accepts, they become an employee, and nobody types their details again.
- Your own stages and application questions for each job
- Interviews, scores and feedback on the candidate
- Offers people can sign online
Day one is ready before they walk in
A joining checklist gives each person their own jobs, with dates counted from the first day. Change the list to suit your business.
- Jobs for HR, IT, the manager and the new person
- Letters made from your own templates
- Policies people read and sign off
Clock-ins and leave become the month, by themselves
Each day is worked out from clock-ins, approved leave, holidays and the shift. People ask for leave, managers approve it, and balances follow.
- Late, half days and overtime worked out from the shift
- Limit clock-ins to a place or your office network, if you want
- Forgot to clock out? Ask for a correction and get it approved
- Shift rosters that rotate, and night shifts that cross midnight
Check the draft, approve it, and it's in your books
A pay run starts as a draft you can work out again as often as you need. It tells you what is missing. Once approved, it is frozen and the month's attendance locks.
- Bonus, commission and other one-off amounts as pay lines
- Hold one person's pay without stopping the rest
- A back-dated rise adds the difference to the next run
- Payslips people can download themselves
Goals, reviews and learning, in the same place as everything else
Set goals for the business, a team or a person. Run review rounds with self, manager and peer views. Give people courses and short quizzes, and ask how things are going.
- Review rounds with due dates and ratings
- Courses with quizzes and certificates
- Anonymous surveys that hide small groups
- An HR help desk for staff questions
A clean goodbye, with the sums done
A resignation starts an exit checklist with handover, assets and access. The final settlement brings the last days' pay, unused leave and what is still owed into one run.
- An exit interview and reasons kept with the exit
- The rest of a loan comes off the final pay
- Relieving and experience letters from your templates

Attendance to payslip to the books
One person's month, followed through. You can trace every figure back to where it came from.
An example with sample figures, rounded to whole dollars. In the app, these are your own people, rates and amounts.
Payroll that works with your country's rules
You set up your own pay lines, tax bands and social contributions once. Each month the run works out income tax, employee and employer shares with their limits, unpaid days, overtime, loans and bonuses, then gives you payslips and a file in your bank's own format.
Stop copying people between tools
Many small businesses keep HR in one tool, payroll in another and expenses in a third. Here is what changes when they are together.
Works with the rest of your business
HR runs well alone. If you use other Ellibo apps, these links are ready, on the same sign-in and the same business.

In their pocket, with nothing to download from a store
Staff add Ellibo HR to their home screen from the browser. Workers without a sign-in use a shared kiosk with a PIN.
Clock-ins and leave on every plan. Self-service and kiosks from Standard. Payslips from Professional, and in the free trial.
Private details stay private
People's pay and bank details need more care than the rest of your data. Here is what we do.
Moving from a spreadsheet?
Import your employees from a spreadsheet saved as CSV, then set opening leave balances. See how to move.
Priced per employee, not per sign-in
Everyone can sign in at no extra cost. Enter how many people you have.
Paid plans have a minimum of 10 employees. Prices are before tax.
A year costs the same as 10 months. The free trial already includes Professional and Business. See all plans
Questions people ask
Is there a native phone app?
Ellibo HR installs as a web app, with nothing to download: open it in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen. Staff can clock in, ask for leave and download payslips from there.
Does it use facial recognition?
No. Clock-ins can be limited by location or office network, and a kiosk or a clock-in can take a photo if you turn that on. The photo is only kept with the record. Nothing checks who is in it.
Does it pay salaries from my bank?
No. Ellibo HR does not move money. It makes a file you upload to your own bank, and you then record the payment, so your books stay right. Build the file to match your bank's layout once: columns or fixed width, or the standard SEPA XML and NACHA files.
Does it file my returns?
No. Ellibo HR gives you reports of what was paid and deducted. You or your accountant file whatever your country asks for.
What about tax in other countries?
Enter your country's tax bands and social contributions once, with their limits, and every pay run works them out and puts them on the payslip and in your books. You or your accountant keep the rates current.
What about workers with no email or phone?
They don't need a sign-in. Set up a shared tablet or phone as a kiosk, and each person clocks in and out with a PIN. They are on your employee list like anyone else, and are paid in the same pay run.
Who can see salaries?
Only the Admin and Payroll roles. HR and managers run leave, attendance and reviews without seeing pay, and each person sees only their own payslips. Bank and tax numbers are encrypted.
What does it cost, and what happens after the trial?
Free for up to 5 employees, with records, leave and attendance. Standard is $3 per employee a month before tax, with a minimum of 10 employees, and a year costs the same as 10 months. Professional is $6 and Business is $9. Every new business gets 14 days of everything for up to 50 employees, no card needed. After that you move to the Free plan, and your records stay. Features outside your plan lock until you upgrade.
Do I need Ellibo Accounting too?
No. Starting HR sets up what it needs, and salaries post to the books of your business. If you also use Accounting, you see them there. Other Ellibo apps are optional, and each works without HR.
