Bright also comes with two exclusive free mobile apps. PoP lets you track employee expenses and approve them with a swipe. And Blip makes it easier for you to record your staff’s working hours.

In addition, our extra support services also include 24/7 employment law advice from our UK based, expert health & safety guidance and a confidential employee wellbeing programme.

We Company Scouts suse BrightHR. There are many advanced HR management tools on the BrightHR platform. It has a great range of tools for managing staff, such as a nice holiday planner. On top of that, you can quickly record absences and sick days. Documents, like medical certificates, can be scanned directly into the system, and when team members are ready to come back to work, you will be notified. The BrightHR system also keeps track of different metrics to help you figure out payroll. This saves you time on administrative tasks. This means keeping track of overtime, keeping a full record of paid and unpaid absences, and keeping track of any bonuses or other extra payments you owe your employees. Another great thing about BrightHR is that it has unlimited cloud storage.
