4softhr FAQ: what the HR software does and does not do
Short, factual answers about what 4softhr does today.
Frequently asked questions
What does 4softhr do today?
It keeps an employee directory with departments, positions and an org chart. It handles leave requests and approvals, shows time records, runs a manual hiring pipeline, tracks onboarding tasks, registers document records and runs a simple monthly payroll calculation. Everything sits in one web account.
What does it not do?
It has no clock-in screen, no automatic candidate scoring and no connection to any government register. It does not schedule shifts, sign contracts, generate documents or store document files. It has no mobile app, and it has no ready-made connector to other HR tools.
Does it rank or score candidates automatically?
No. Candidates move through the stages applied, screening, interview, offer, hired or rejected, and people make every move. There is no automatic scoring or ranking.
Does 4softhr file anything with a government register?
No. It does not connect to any government register and does not prepare payroll declarations or tax filings. The records kept here do not replace any filing you owe.
How does the payroll run work?
You enter a gross salary per employee, with an optional personal deduction. The calculation applies four rates you set: two employee contributions, income tax and an employer contribution. It shows gross, net and employer cost on screen, and keeps payslips with draft, finalized and paid statuses. It does not take hours or leave into account, and it does not transfer money. Set the rates to your own rules before relying on the figures.
How is leave counted?
Days count Monday to Friday and overlapping requests are refused. Public holidays are not subtracted automatically. Where you have set a balance, approved days are deducted from it for that calendar year. Leave is not accrued or carried over by itself.
Where do clock-in entries come from?
The time view shows entries recorded through MyStaff, the timekeeping product in the same ecosystem, or sent through the API. It estimates hours by pairing clock-in and clock-out entries. 4softhr itself has no clock-in screen.
Can I import my employees?
Yes, from a CSV or XLSX file through the API. It imports name, email, phone, external id and status. Contracts, documents, history and leave balances are not imported. The panel shows the import history, while the upload goes through the API.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with 12 months free, with no card and no yearly commitment. You can add your employees, enter leave and run a test month before the trial ends.
In which currency are prices shown?
In euro. The plans page lists the current plans and what each one includes, so no price is repeated on this page.
Are the other 4b2b products included?
No. MyStaff, 4invoices, 4notify and the other products in the ecosystem are separate products with their own plans. 4softhr does not copy data into them on its own.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Tables can be exported as CSV, XML or PDF, for example to give to an accountant. Import works the other way, from a CSV or XLSX file through the API, for the employee fields listed above.
