Inside HR
HR brings people, performance, attendance, and payroll under one roof. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and disconnected tools, you get a single system where every record, request, and pay run lives together, accurate, current, and ready when you need it.
Below, we walk through each section of the module: starting with the Dashboard, the live home your team lands on every time.
Your team's live home base.

Why teams switch
Replace the spreadsheets and paper files with one shared HR system.

Every employee, role and record lives in one place your whole team can trust.

Hours and adjustments flow into payroll, so each cycle starts from accurate numbers.

Performance cycles and a clear org structure keep your team growing in the right direction.
Questions
Yes. Employees have My Time and My Timecard screens to log hours, and managers approve timecards before payroll.
Yes. HR includes payroll runs, adjustments, tax forms and payroll reports, built on the approved timecards.
Yes. Set up recurring performance cycles so reviews and ratings happen on a schedule.
Yes. The donefy app for iOS and Android opens the same schedules, time off and timecards as the web.
Start with people and timecards, then add payroll and performance cycles when you are ready.
