Frequently asked questions

Is Leavely a full HR system?
Leavely covers the core HR functions that small and medium UK businesses need most: leave management, sickness absence tracking, Bradford Factor monitoring, return to work forms, TOIL tracking, employee records, and absence reporting. It is designed to replace spreadsheets and basic tools with a proper HR system, without the complexity of enterprise platforms.
How many employees can HR systems like Leavely support?
Leavely is built for businesses with 5 to 100 employees. The system scales smoothly across that range with no performance issues. The pricing stays at £8 per user per month regardless of team size, so a team of 10 pays £80 per month and a team of 50 pays £400 per month.
Do HR systems handle UK employment law requirements?
The best HR systems for the UK include bank holidays, statutory leave entitlements (5.6 weeks for full time employees), pro rata calculations for part time workers, Bradford Factor scoring for sickness management, and carry over rules. Leavely has all of these built in and calculated automatically.
Can an HR system replace our current spreadsheets?
