Simple

One system for the HR work you actually do.

HRStuff is a simple app, so there is no feature gating for a more expensive tier. Everyone gets all features — payroll, leave and claims. There's no long rollout or training session needed to get you started either. Anyone with a PC, Mac or smartphone can use it straight away. We like to keep things simple to save you and ourselves time.

Four things HRStuff holds, drawn as cards joined together: an employee record with their photo and details, a leave calendar with days marked, an expense claim listing meals, travel and equipment, and a pay summary with a bank symbol and a bar chart.

Start with the spreadsheet you already use

Upload your staff list and HRStuff shows you what will happen before it changes anything: who will be added, whose details will be updated and which rows need attention. You can check it all before confirming the import.

Staff can find their own answers

Employees see their available leave when they apply and can download their own payslips as PDFs. That means fewer routine questions landing in your HR inbox.

Draft it, check it, publish it

Each payroll month has one clear flow, and nothing reaches anybody until you say so. Staff only see their payslips once you publish them.

Customize it for your business

Choose your leave types, working week, pay day and approval rules inside HRStuff. You can set everything up yourself and make changes whenever you need to, without waiting for an implementation team.

Functional

Enterprise-style flexibility, without the complexity.

Setup automations for payroll, leave or claims. Write, configure and automate recurring payroll line items with rules and actions, in a sentence. Every deduction, contribution, or allowance on a payslip comes from a rule you write yourself: who it applies to, and how the amount is calculated and applied. No code. No formulas. The rule reads like an ordinary sentence, and that sentence is what calculates your payslips.

3 rule sets, processed from the top
YOUR RULES
FROM 1 JAN 2026
Rule Set 1

When Residency is Foreign workerdo nothing.

Rule Set 2

When Age is at most 55 — deduct 8% of basic salary from the employee, and deduct 12% of basic salary from the employer.

Rule Set 3

For everyone: deduct 5% of basic salary from the employee, and deduct 7% of basic salary from the employer.

Any detail can be a condition

Apply a rule by age, residency, country, years of service, or one of many other conditions. Combine conditions with AND or OR operators to include exactly the right people. And then apply a deduction or contribution to people filtered by your rules.

Employee and employer together

One rule can calculate the employee deduction and the employer contribution at the same time, including which amount is rounded first. If written as two separate rules, the total comes out different.

Yearly ceilings, and bands

For everyone: deduct 3.5% of gross pay above $30,000.00 from the employee, but never more than $350.00 in a year.

See where every figure came from

Each payslip amount shows which rule applied and every step in the calculation. If a figure looks wrong, correct the rule instead of typing over the result.

Most payroll software has a country's laws hard coded into it, and anything unusual means a quotation. But HRStuff's custom rule sets mean it can handle many countries' tax and social security policies. Singapore's social security scheme was the first we tested on, and its rules are tested against 8,400 combinations of residency, age, pay and date.

Everything else, also simple and functional.

Automate tedious tasks

Payslips can draft themselves on a selected day and publish themselves on another. For a small company with simple, standardized payslips every month, the payslips take care of themselves. Leave and claims approvals can also be automated if you decide so.

Employee specific standardized payslips

If you don't want to setup payroll rules, every employee has a standardized payslip where you can just key in the numbers once, and forget about it for the rest of the year.

Access control and role separation

A manager approving leave never sees a salary. Access is controlled by each person's role, and the leave approver does not need to know another team member's salary.

We cannot quietly read your payroll

Support access is read-only, requires a written reason and closes automatically after 30 minutes. Every session appears in your activity log, so you can see that it happened, when and why.

Affordable

Why pay for 100 features to use 3?

Every customer gets every feature, whichever way they pay. There are no higher tiers and no essential tools held back for an upgrade. The list below is not a menu to choose from — it is what our price buys.

These are introductory prices, and they hold until the end of 2026. We would rather say that here than have you find it out from a bill.

Leave management

Applying, balances, entitlements and leave types.

Included

Manager approvals

Leave routes to a named manager instead of everything landing on HR.

Included

Public holidays

A holiday calendar that drops out of the leave day count.

Included

Expense claims

Claims with the receipt attached, approved and marked paid.

Included

Payslips and pay rules

Drafting, checking and publishing the month — and the rules that make every figure on it.

Included

Your rules, and every change to them

Write them, and change them the day your law does, as often as you like.

Included
Included on both plans Everything

Minimum of 3 people. Nothing else is metered: not how many payslips you publish, not how many rules you write, not how many leave requests your staff put in.

Straight answers

What we do not do.

We do not file for you

HRStuff works out the figures and produces the payslips. Submitting to your tax authority stays with you. We would rather say so plainly than have you find out when billing comes.

We do not give tax and compliance advice

Payroll rules are settings you control, and you are responsible for making sure the rules you enter are correct and updated. HRStuff applies them consistently and shows you exactly how every amount was calculated.

We do not track time or attendance

There is no clock-in, no timesheets and no shift rosters. Pay comes from the salary on someone's record rather than the hours they worked, so if your people are paid by the hour, HRStuff is the wrong shape for you.

We do not do performance reviews

No appraisal cycles, no goals, no one-to-ones, and no hiring or training records either. HRStuff handles the paperwork of employing people. Managing them is still your job.

Run one month of your own payroll this afternoon.

Create your company, bring your staff list in from a spreadsheet, write your first rules and check a month against your real figures. If it does not come out right you have lost an afternoon, not a procurement cycle.

Figures shown on this page are an example. Statutory rates must be verified against your own authority before your first payroll run.
