Members of staff can log in to their Self Service Portal at anytime, from any location, and on any device. From here they can apply for leave, edit their contact details, check internal job vacancies, read policy documents, look up the staff directory, and view any tasks assigned to them.
Choose from a list of standard reports or create your own interactive tables and charts using our drag and drop tool. Share these online with colleagues, download them to other formats such as CSV, or simply print them out.
Store the key details about each staff member, such as their identity, home address, emergency contacts, and right to work. You can look up the terms of their current job contract, update to reflect a recent pay rise or search through the history of past revisions.
Staff can submit leave requests via the Self Service Portal, and managers can approve online. Choose from Holiday, Sickness, TOIL, Parental, or define your own leave types. We support flexible working patterns for part time and casual staff with leave entitlements calculated on a pro rata basis.
Upload copies of documents, such as passports, contracts, and driving licences. Alternatively, staff can do this themselves from their Self Service Portal. Record expiry dates of documents such as visas, so that HR can be reminded when it is time to renew.
Create a list of tasks that must be completed whenever a member of staff joins or exits the organisation. Set due dates on these tasks, and assign them to the relevant managers. Track progress through the dashboard so you can make sure that everything is finished on time.
These are the next modules that we are working on and we welcome feedback from any organisations interested in influencing their development.
You'll soon be able to integrate your leave requests with Google Calendar. Check upcoming leave without having to log into the system or duplicate information across multiple platforms. Flexible permission levels allow employees to view dates for their own leave, the leave dates within their team, or leave for the entire organisation.
July 2018We are redesigning the Self Service Portal so that it appears much more like a mobile app when viewed on a smartphone. Less information will be displayed on each screen, making it clearer and saving the need for lots of scrolling. By clicking on an item of interest, you will move to another screen that displays more detail.

Robin Tombs
Sponsor
CiviHR is the initiative of Robin Tombs, a successful serial entrepreneur, who has a personal commitment to giving back. He provides all of CiviHR’s funding and he is committed to the long term success of the project. Having been involved in the development of an internal HR system for use at one of his companies, and having experienced the benefits that it brought to both management and staff alike, he was constantly surprised when, in conversations with the CEO’s of non-profits, as to how few were enjoying the benefits of similar systems. Too often the reason given was that HR systems were considered to be unaffordable for non-profits. Robin’s response to this was to launch the development of CiviHR as affordable HR software for non-profits. CiviHR is open-source and is itself built using a number of open source softwares, including Drupal and CiviCRM. Robin is a firm believer that through making software open source, the benefits can be shared with people everywhere. Robin lives in the UK with his wife and three children. His business efforts are currently focused on Yoti, a digital identity app that is revolutionising the way people identify themselves online. He also provides grants to other technology projects that benefit the third sector via Zing, a charitable foundation.
