Your team, paid and looked after

Why Rutba People

HR and payroll fail in the same place: the gap between the record and the pay run. Rutba People closes it — the clock on the wall writes the attendance, attendance and leave feed payroll directly, payslips post to your accounts automatically, and employees check their own balances without a single email. Nothing in that chain is an export, so nothing in it can disagree.

Growing teams outgrowing spreadsheets

Businesses running monthly payroll in-house

Shift employers paying overtime on hours somebody currently types

Any employer handling leave and attendance

What's inside

The apps Rutba People unlocks

One listing, 7 applications — all on the same customer record, catalog and books as the rest of the family. Where an app is at a different stage from the listing, it says so on the card.

HR

The employee master and the org structure around it — records, contracts, departments, teams, matrix reporting, lifecycle events, letters and the asset register.

Employee Self-Service

One person’s own record: leave, attendance, schedule, payslips, expense claims, documents, assets, benefits, training and performance — plus somewhere to raise a grievance or report a safety incident, and a manager’s approval queue that appears only if the org chart says you manage anyone.

Payroll

Pay runs created, previewed, processed and paid — with deduction rules, salary structures, statutory remittances, and the accrual split by cost centre so a department can be asked what its people cost.

Time Clock

The shared wall device: badge or PIN, an offline queue for when the network is not there, and no biometrics and no location tracking by design.

Workforce

Early access

The operational week that line managers run rather than HR: attendance, exceptions and timesheets against the hours the clock actually recorded, with an approval state machine payroll locks when it pays them.

Capture and timesheets have shipped — punches, clock devices, badge credentials, adjustments, the derived attendance and the timesheet approval queue. Scheduling and absence are specified and not built, so a rota is still planned somewhere else and read into this.

Recruit

Requisitions, the candidate pipeline, interviews and offers — and the careers site candidates apply through, which is the group’s only public surface.

Built through M7. This entry said "specified and scaffolded, with no features yet" until 2026-09-03, which stopped being true some milestones ago and is the reason availability labels get checked against the app rather than remembered.

Talent

Early access

After the hire: reviews, goals, 360 feedback and check-ins — with learning, skills and succession to come.

Performance shipped at M9: review templates and their stage sequences, cycles, 360 perspectives, goals that ladder and roll up, check-ins and continuous feedback. Learning, skills and succession are specified and not built, which is why this reads early access rather than available — the half that exists is the half most people buy it for.
