Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants HeadcountDesk supplies are the published federal payroll tax rates and the overtime multiplier, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
An HR app for employees at a small employer does five things from the phone and keeps the record of each on the employer's side: the handbook acknowledged, the employee's own file visible, the timesheet submitted, PTO requested against the balance, and the onboarding tasks closed. That is the whole specification. The onboarding checklist on this site scopes the tasks free; HeadcountDesk Pro is the app and the record.

The five things
Acknowledge the handbook, see the file, submit the timesheet, request PTO, close the onboarding items. Judge any app on whether the employee can do all five without asking someone.
The record on the other side
Every action is filed against the employee with a timestamp, and the employer sees who has not acted. Pro keeps that record; the documents come from the free tools on this site.
The reminders
To the person who has to act, not to the owner: sign this, submit that, your review is due. That is what turns a form into a system.
