FAQ
HR software — frequently asked questions
Answers for entrepreneurs and HR teams: time tracking, leave, Revisal REGES-ONLINE, AI recruiting, performance reviews, org charts and migrating from other HR platforms.
Onboarding and subscriptions
What do I need to get started with 4softhr?
Just your list of employees and current contracts. We import records from an Excel file or directly from BambooHR/Personio, set up time tracking and the org chart, and our team guides you through the entire onboarding.
Do I pay a surcharge for every extra employee?
No. The subscription includes time tracking, leave, Revisal, AI recruiting, reviews and org chart with no per-employee fee — unlike BambooHR, Personio or Factorial, which charge per seat.
Can I upgrade from one plan to another at any time?
Yes, at any time. The remaining value of your current subscription is automatically credited toward the new plan, prorated by days.
Do employees get their own access?
Yes. A self-service portal lets employees clock in, submit leave requests, see their day balance and their own documents. HR and managers approve in one click, with separate roles and full history.
How do I handle multiple companies?
You manage them all from a single centralised account, with separate teams and roles per company. Employee data stays isolated between companies.
What payment methods do you support?
Card (Visa, Mastercard) or bank transfer against a pro-forma invoice. Choose monthly or annual billing (annual gets a discount). Auto-renewal keeps services uninterrupted.
Time tracking, leave and Revisal
How does time tracking work in 4softhr?
Employees clock in from browser or mobile, including check-in/check-out and per-project tracking. The platform computes hours worked, overtime and day balances automatically, ready to export to payroll.
How do I manage leave requests?
The employee submits a request from the portal, the manager approves in one click, and the day balance updates automatically. A shared calendar shows who is on leave so you avoid overlaps in the team.
Does 4softhr submit data to Revisal / REGES-ONLINE?
Yes. Individual employment contracts, addenda and data changes are prepared in-app and transmitted to REGES-ONLINE, kept in sync with each employee’s record.
Can I export time tracking for payroll?
Yes. At month-end, time tracking, overtime and absences export to Excel or directly to accounting/payroll — no manual re-entry of data.
Does payroll data sync with accounting?
Yes. Within the 4b2b ecosystem, payroll costs and time tracking can flow automatically into accounting (4conta) and projects (4myprojects), without moving files between apps.
Can I define different leave types and my own policies?
Yes. Configure holiday, sick, unpaid or custom leave types, with accrual rules, caps and multi-level approval flows tailored to your company policy.
AI recruiting, reviews and org chart
How does AI help with recruiting?
The AI reads and scores CVs against the role’s criteria, ranks candidates by fit and keeps the whole hiring pipeline in one place, from application to hire.
Can I run performance reviews in the platform?
Yes. Set objectives, run periodic reviews and 360° feedback, with full history per employee — no separate forms or spreadsheets.
Does the org chart update automatically?
Yes. The visual org chart reflects team structure and reporting lines and updates automatically when you add, move or deactivate an employee.
Data, security and ecosystem
Where is my employees’ data stored?
Data stays in the European Union, GDPR-compliant, on our own infrastructure (Hetzner, Helsinki datacenter), with role-based access, encryption and a full change history.
How hard is it to migrate from BambooHR, Personio or Excel?
Migration is assisted by our team: we import employees, contracts, leave balances and the org chart from an export or directly from your current platform, with no disruption to your operations.
Is there a referral programme?
Yes. Affiliate programme with a unique referral code. You earn recurring monthly commissions (15% of the invitee’s subscription, for the subscription lifetime) for every new customer who picks 4softhr on your recommendation.
