People-First Workforce Management
Take an in-depth tour of this FlockWorker module
People-First Workforce Management
Spend less time on paperwork and more time building your organization. HR covers onboarding (with direct-deposit and tax info that pipe straight into Payroll), time-off, scheduling, training, performance reviews built on the survey substrate, benefits enrollment that flows to payroll deductions, the guided final-paycheck workflow for governance-gated terminations, compliance, and document management — all designed for the unique needs of democratic workplaces.
A 40-person ESOP manufacturing firm: Tracks forklift certifications, automates PTO approvals, and runs quarterly performance reviews — replacing three separate spreadsheets with one system.
In-depth product tour for the Human Resources module.
Human Resources is the people layer of FlockWorker — the place where new worker-owners are welcomed, where time-off and training live, and where the long, quiet record of someone's growth in your cooperative gets kept. It's designed for democratic workplaces, where "manager" and "member" are often the same person and process matters as much as outcomes. Onboarding is where it shows up first: instead of a one-size-fits-all checklist, compose per-role workflows from five configurable task types — documents to sign, forms to submit, policies to acknowledge, profile fields to complete, and the manager check-ins no software should try to skip.
From there, HR plugs straight into the rest of FlockWorker. Direct-deposit and W-4 tasks pipe into Payroll on day one, approved timesheets become the next pay run without re-keying, benefits elections flow to payroll deductions, performance reviews ride the Survey substrate, and governance-gated terminations trigger the guided final-paycheck workflow — so the same record that welcomed a member also sees them through every milestone in between.
Build per-role onboarding journeys from five configurable task types — document upload, form submission, policy acknowledgment, profile completion, and manager check-in — with due dates, dependencies, mentor assignment, and orientation scheduling baked in. Direct-deposit setup and W-4 / state withholding tasks pipe straight into Payroll, so a new member's first paycheck comes out right without re-keying.
Upload, categorize, and version HR documents with folder-based access control, policy version history, acknowledgment tracking, and a one-click bulk PDF export of the entire Employee Handbook.
Submit requests, track per-policy leave balances and accruals, run bulk approvals, view a shared time-off calendar, and keep an auditable attendance record managers can trust.
Publish shift schedules, track clock-in/clock-out hours, route timesheets through manager approval, and forward approved hours straight to Payroll without re-keying.
Build multi-section training modules with text lessons, embedded video (YouTube/Vimeo), and scored quizzes. Assign with due dates, track section-level progress with auto-resume, and watch certification expiries with renewal alerts.
Schedule review cycles built directly on the Survey substrate, collect peer and manager feedback, set SMART goals tied to development plans, and keep a longitudinal record of every member's professional growth.
Run recurring pulse, engagement, and eNPS surveys on weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadences, with longitudinal trend analysis to surface workplace climate before it shows up in turnover.
Run structured disciplinary actions, performance improvement plans, and grievance workflows — each with full documentation, acknowledgment receipts, and a defensible audit trail.
Searchable directory of every worker-owner with roles, contact info, mentors, and reporting relationships; a Staff Hub dashboard surfaces the HR work that needs your attention today.
Maintain salary bands tied to governance-voted compensation, manage benefits enrollment with elections that auto-flow into Payroll deductions, and document compensation decisions with the same audit transparency the rest of FlockWorker provides.
When a termination is approved — in HR for at-will roles or via a governance vote for member-owners — the offboarding workflow triggers Payroll's final-paycheck flow with state payday-on-discharge handling, accrued PTO payout, and benefits-deduction settlement.
