What is in the Lynxbe HR system

From an employee's first day to the document that expires

Employee records

Personal details, role, department, employment type and start date for every employee. A business moving off spreadsheets imports its staff from an Excel or CSV file with column mapping.

Time-off requests and balances

The employee requests vacation, sick leave, reserve duty or other time off from the app, the manager approves or declines, and the balance updates on approval. Leave policies with accrual are assigned per employee.

Employee documents

Upload documents to the employee file with an expiry date, such as a driving licence or a work permit. Managers are reminded 30 days before, 7 days before and on the day it expires.

Employee onboarding

An onboarding template with document, form, acknowledgement and task items, a due date on each and a record of who completed it. The new hire sees their own list in the app.

Employee notice board

A notice to all staff, a site, a department or chosen employees, with a priority, an expiry date and an optional acknowledgement. The manager sees who read it and who acknowledged.

Digital Form 101

The employee gets a personal link by email, fills in Form 101 on the phone and signs on screen. Tax credit points are calculated and a PDF of the signed form is kept.

Employee directory

Employees can see who else works in the business. The business decides whether phone and email are shown, and each employee can hide their own photo, phone or email.

Why it is different

An HR system that is also the employee portal

Each employee signs in with their own user and sees only what is theirs, in the same app where they get shifts and notices.

An employee portal with no build project

On the phone, the employee sees the notice board, their onboarding list, their time-off requests and the employee directory. There is no separate site to build and maintain.

See it in a demo →

Managing mobile employees

For field staff: clock-in by location, a photo at clock-in, punches that work without signal, and tasks closed with a photo as proof. Attendance itself is handled in the time clock module.

To the time clock →

Digital forms for employees

Form 101 signed on screen, and reporting forms the manager builds from their own questions, with a schedule, a required flag and an option for anonymous answers.

The common ways to run HR are Excel files and paper forms, the payroll system (such as Hilan or Michpal), a dedicated attendance system (such as Synerion or Meckano), and an international HR system (such as Hibob or BambooHR). The comparison is by type of tool, not by a specific tool; where it says "depends on the tool", check with the vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this module

What does the Lynxbe HR system include?+
Employee records, employee import from Excel or CSV, onboarding from a task template, a digital Form 101 with signature, time-off requests with manager approval and balances, employee documents with a reminder before expiry, an employee notice board with read acknowledgement and an employee directory. All in the same system as shifts, the time clock and payroll.
Digital HR forms: which forms can be filled in online?+
Form 101: the employee gets a personal link by email that is valid for 7 days, fills it in on the phone and signs on screen, and a PDF is kept with the tax credit points calculated. The manager can also build reporting forms from their own questions, with a schedule, a required flag and an option for anonymous answers, and an onboarding template can ask for a document, a form or a read acknowledgement.
A digital notice board for employees: how do you know who read it?+
You publish a notice to all staff, a site, a department or chosen employees, with a priority and an expiry date. You can ask for an acknowledgement, and the manager sees in the recipient list who read it and who acknowledged.
Setting up an employee portal: do you need to build a separate one?+
No. Each employee signs in to the Lynxbe app with their own user and sees their notices, onboarding tasks and time-off requests, and the employee directory. There is no portal with its own design or domain to set up.
Managing mobile employees: what does a field employee get?+
An iPhone and Android app where the employee clocks in by location, can take a photo at clock-in, punches even without signal, gets tasks and closes them with a photo, and reads the business's notices. Attendance itself is handled in the time clock module.
Does it work with local payroll systems?+
Yes, by export: monthly attendance data, work days, hours and overtime, goes out as a file in the format of Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit or Oketz, or as a generic Excel file. You can also produce payslips in the Lynxbe payroll module. There is no automatic two-way sync with payroll systems.
Are there performance reviews and an org chart?+
No. There are departments and employees are assigned to them, but there is no visual org chart and no performance review module. Payslips also do not yet open for the employee in the app: they are produced in the payroll module for users with payroll permission.
