Grown-up HR admin without a grown-up HR department
Growing UK businesses usually reach the same point: contracts in a shared drive, leave in a spreadsheet, and one person holding it all together. PHI HR replaces that with employee records, self-service leave and properly signed employment contracts.
Sound familiar?
- Employment contracts signed by print, scan and hope
- Leave tracked in a spreadsheet only one person understands
- No reliable answer to who has signed what, and which version
- Staff details going stale because updating them is somebody else's job
How PHI HR helps
Employment contracts, properly signed
EssentialUpload your PDF contract, place signature fields exactly where they belong, and have the employee sign and your authorised signatory countersign — with SHA-256 evidence retained.
Self-service that actually reduces your inbox
Employees update their own details, upload documents, book leave and log training from the portal.
Leave without the spreadsheet
Requests, approvals, balances, half-days and UK public holidays, with a clear approval queue.
One dashboard for what needs attention
Headcount, who is on leave, pending starts and outstanding actions in the Action Centre.
What it looks like



Where PHI HR stops
So you are not surprised later:
- Contracts are issued from your own PDF. PHI HR does not generate contracts from templates and does not accept DOC or DOCX today.
- PHI HR does not run payroll. You can optionally collect bank details to hand to your payroll provider.
Usual starting point
Essential
Essential covers contracts and e-signature for teams up to 25 — the usual reason SMEs move off spreadsheets.
