HRIQ — UK HR made simple.

Everything a small employer's HR actually needs in one place — employment contracts, payroll prep, holiday & sickness, right-to-work checks and ACAS-compliant grievances. Built for UK employers with 5–50 staff who've outgrown a spreadsheet but don't need (or can't justify) a full HR system.

Everything HRIQ surfaces, in one place.

What needs attention, first

Expiring right-to-work checks, missing written statements, open cases and overdue training — ranked the way an HR adviser or tribunal would look at them.

🛂

Right-to-work, tracked

Record each person's right-to-work check and get warned before a visa or permit expires — an illegal-working penalty runs up to £45,000 per worker.

📄

s.1 written statements

Track who's missing the mandatory written statement of employment particulars the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires from day one.

🌴

Absence & leave, watched

Holiday and sickness tracked against the 5.6-week statutory minimum, with a Bradford Factor watch for persistent short-term absence.

ACAS-compliant cases

Disciplinary and grievance cases structured to the ACAS Code of Practice, staged from raised through to outcome.

Payroll prep & auto-enrolment

New starters, leavers and changes packaged ready for your payroll run, with pension auto-enrolment status tracked per employee.

HR for the employer who is doing it themselves.

No dedicated HR team, no budget for a full HRIS — just the small-business owner or office manager who needs contracts, compliance and casework to stop living in email threads and a filing cabinet.

Items flagged before they become a problem

Right-to-work, missing statements, open cases and expired training surfaced the moment you open the dashboard.

£45k

The cost of missing a right-to-work check

Civil penalties for illegal working run up to £45,000 per worker — HRIQ's alerts exist to stop that ever happening quietly.

5.6wk

Statutory holiday, tracked automatically

Leave and sickness watched against the Working Time Regulations 1998 minimum, per employee.

Structured to the employment-law frameworks a small employer actually faces.

HRIQ lays your HR records out to match the obligations UK employers are held to — a head start on the paperwork, not a substitute for legal advice.

ERA 1996

Written statement, day one

Tracks who's missing the s.1 written statement of employment particulars the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires.

ACAS

Disciplinary & grievance

Cases staged to the ACAS Code of Practice, so the process — not just the outcome — is defensible.

WTR

Working Time Regulations 1998

5.6 weeks' statutory holiday tracked per employee, alongside sickness absence.

GDPR

UK GDPR / DPA 2018

Holds employee personal data — some special-category, e.g. health and sickness — local-first by default, with an optional hosted team layer, roles and an audit trail.

HRIQ structures your HR records to match the Employment Rights Act 1996, the ACAS Code of Practice, the Working Time Regulations 1998, the National Minimum Wage Act 1998, the Pensions Act 2008 (auto-enrolment) and right-to-work / illegal-working rules — we are not a legal or compliance authority; confirm your specific obligations with an employment solicitor or ACAS.
