Everything your HR team juggles — in one system

Employee records

One profile per person: employment history, pay, documents, emergency contacts, org position and a linked login. An org chart and department view built in.

Leave & absence

Self-service requests with manager approval, live balances, public holidays and a shared team leave calendar so you never double-book cover.

Clocking in & Who's In

Clock in and out by QR code or a shared kiosk. A live Who's In board shows exactly who is on site right now, with hours flowing into timesheets.

Shift planner

Build weekly rotas from reusable shift templates, publish to the team, and handle shift-swap requests without the WhatsApp chaos.

Onboarding & offboarding

Template-driven checklists with owners and due dates. Offboarding tracks exit interviews, IT revocation, asset return and final pay in one place.

Recruitment (ATS)

Post roles to a hosted careers page and receive applications straight into a drag-and-drop pipeline with CVs, ratings and interview dates. Hire in one click — straight into onboarding.

AI recruiting assistant

An AI job-ad writer drafts the posting from a few bullet points, and AI CV review screens each candidate's CV against the job requirements — fit score, strengths, gaps and suggested interview questions.

UK payroll & payslips

Real PAYE: tax codes, NI categories, student loans and pensions. Add overtime, bonuses and night-shift allowances per pay run; hourly staff are paid straight from their clocking records. Issue payslips and export an RTI (FPS) file for HMRC.

Expenses

Staff submit claims with photographed receipts; managers approve; totals feed straight into payroll and reporting. No more spreadsheet chasing.

Reviews & goals

Run performance cycles with custom criteria, ratings, peer feedback and goal tracking so appraisals are consistent and fair across the business.

Skills matrix

A competency grid across the whole team — see who holds which skills and at what level, and spot gaps before they become a resourcing problem.

Recognition & announcements

A peer kudos wall people actually enjoy, plus a company announcements feed to keep everyone aligned.

Documents & asset register

Company handbooks and policies with read-acknowledgement tracking, employee document storage, and an asset register for laptops, phones and PPE.

Payroll

Proper UK payroll — not a spreadsheet with delusions

Give each employee a payroll profile — tax code, NI category, salary or hourly rate, student & postgrad loan plans and pension settings — then run a pay period in a couple of clicks.

OpSemble calculates PAYE income tax, employee and employer National Insurance, pension contributions and loan deductions, generates a payslip for every employee, and produces the RTI Full Payment Submission (FPS) file you send to HMRC. Employees pick up their payslips in the self-service portal.

Hourly staff are paid from what they actually worked: clocked shifts flow from the attendance records into the pay run with industry-standard quarter-hour rounding. Add overtime at ×1.5 or ×2, bonuses and one-off deductions to any line — the tax and NI recalculate instantly — and a configurable night-shift window pays a per-hour allowance for night work automatically, itemised on the payslip.

Recruitment

Hire without a separate ATS subscription

Publish a job to your own hosted careers page — applications land straight in your pipeline — and drag each candidate through Applied → Screening → Interview → Offer → Hired. Store CVs and cover letters, rate candidates, schedule interviews and keep a full activity trail.

AI does the heavy lifting: it drafts the job ad from a few bullet points, then screens each CV against the job requirements with a fit score, strengths, gaps and suggested interview questions. When you make a hire, one click converts the candidate into an employee — with an employee number and their onboarding checklist already started. Recruitment analytics show open roles, time-to-hire and where your best candidates come from.

Self-service

An employee portal that pays for itself in seats

Not everyone needs a full platform login. Employees who only need self-service — payslips, leave requests, balances, personal details and policy acknowledgements — use the lightweight portal without consuming a paid seat. That keeps your HR bill tied to the admins who run the system, not your entire headcount.

One platform. Only the modules you need.

HR is one switch in your OpSemble tenant — turn it on alongside CRM, Projects, Health & Safety, Quality and Training. Training completions flow into HR records automatically; safety inductions and asset issue are linked to the same people.
