PHI HR — simple, secure HR management

Get the people admin out of spreadsheets — and get the contracts signed

PHI HR keeps employee records, documents, training and leave in one secure place, then issues employment contracts your team can sign and countersign with the evidence retained. Built for employers who need to produce evidence on demand — for CQC inspections, Ofsted visits, or an employment tribunal.

Plans from £29 a month →

Trials are set up by our team, not an automated sign-up — we won't ask for card details or create an account until we've spoken to you.

Built for UK employers

UK public holiday calendars, Right to Work and DBS document tracking, and leave rules written around UK working patterns.

Employee data stored in the UK

Your data is held in AWS London. The web tier is served from a global edge network, so we say UK data storage rather than overclaiming.

Your company's data stays yours

Each company's records are separated from every other company's, and delegated administrators cannot reach bank, identity or pay data.

Evidence that survives a challenge

Every signed contract is stored with tamper-evident proof of exactly what was signed and when.

Contracts & e-signature · Essential and above

The bit most HR tools leave to email

Upload your PDF contract, place the signature fields exactly where they belong, and let the employee sign from any device. Your nominated authorised signatory countersigns, and every signed contract is stored with tamper-evident proof of exactly what was signed and when.

  • Full history kept for every correction, renewal or replacement contract.
  • Employees can reject or request a correction, giving a reason
  • A delegated Contracts Officer who cannot see bank or identity data
  • Nobody can administer or sign their own contract
How contracts work

The rest of your HR admin, covered.

Employee records people actually maintain

One permissioned record per person, kept current by the employee through self-service: details, documents, qualifications, training and leave.

See the full feature list

Compliance that chases itself

Required documents per role, review and approval, and automated expiry reminders at 42, 35, 14 and 7 days. Right to Work, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) and identity documents tracked and evidenced.

How compliance works

Leave for workforces that are not simple

Requests, approvals and balances on every plan. Advanced Leave adds FTE (full-time equivalent) entitlement, multi-week patterns, hours-worked accrual and restricted periods.

Advanced Leave detail

Feature status (LIVE / COMING SOON / PLANNED) is shown throughout — see footer.

Your records stay accurate because employees keep them that way

The self-service portal is included on every plan. Staff update their details, upload required documents, book leave, log training and CPD (continuing professional development), and sign contracts — and profile completion scoring shows exactly what is still missing, with reminders that say what type of item is missing — e.g. “a document is overdue” — without exposing the underlying data.

The same product, positioned around the paperwork you cannot afford to get wrong.

Which package is right for you?

Three questions. The answer is worked out from the actual plan limits and entitlements — no email address required, and we will tell you if a cheaper plan does the job.

How many employees do you have?

Plan limits are commercial limits — pick the band you are in today.

Do you need to issue and sign employment contracts in PHI HR?

Uploading your own PDF contract, sending it for signature and countersigning it.

Do you have part-time, bank or casual staff, or busy periods you need to protect?

Multi-week working patterns, FTE entitlement, accrual from hours worked, or blackout dates.

Your recommendation
