People operations, without the sprawl
One place to run your people operations.
Lohat HR brings people management, time tracking, leave, performance, training, equipment and payroll workflows together in one secure workspace — so your team stops re-entering the same information into five different tools.
What it provides
Every part of running a team, in one workspace
Built as one connected system rather than a bundle of separate tools, so information entered once — a new starter, a role change, an approved leave request — is immediately correct everywhere it's used.
People & employee records
One directory for employees and contractors — reporting lines, departments, job titles and contact details, kept accurate as people move teams or change role.
Time clock & monthly timesheets
Clock in and out from a browser or a shared kiosk device, with breaks tracked automatically and a full monthly calendar view for reviewing and correcting entries.
Leave & approval workflows
Employees request time off; managers approve or decline with a clear audit trail — including entitlement tracking, so decisions are made with the full picture.
Payroll & invoicing
Monthly payroll close, contractor invoices and expense claims run through one reconciled workflow, with bank and payment details kept behind restricted access.
Training & development
Assign training plans, track completion and trainer sign-off, and keep a record of what every employee has completed and acknowledged.
Performance management
Scheduled reviews, targets and simple operational analytics give managers a clear read on how their team is doing, without a separate review tool.
Equipment & hardware
A registry of company equipment and who holds it — laptops, devices and kit tracked against the people responsible for them.
Documents & HR records
Contracts, policies and HR documents stored with version history and acknowledgement tracking, visible only to the people who should see them.
Permissions, audit & admin
A clear role hierarchy from employee through to admin, every sensitive action recorded to an audit log, and safeguards on who can act on whose behalf.
How it helps
What changes when it's all in one place
Fewer disconnected spreadsheets. Time, leave, payroll and HR records live in one system instead of scattered files that drift out of sync.
Clear approval workflows. Time and leave requests follow a defined chain, so nothing is approved by accident or left waiting with no owner.
One source of truth. A person's team, manager and role live in exactly one place, so every screen that depends on it agrees.
Better visibility for managers. Team timesheets, leave and performance are visible in one dashboard, not chased over email.
Controlled access to sensitive data. Bank details, payroll and personal records are restricted to the people who genuinely need them.
Easier self-service. Employees can clock in, request leave and check their own records without raising a ticket with HR.
Designed for different roles
The same system, tuned to what each person needs
Employees
Everything you need day to day, without needing to ask.
- Clock in and out, and see your own timesheet as it builds up through the month
- Request leave and track its status through to approval
- View your own payslips, expenses and HR documents
- Complete assigned training and see what's outstanding
Team Leads & Managers
Oversight of your team, scoped to exactly your team.
- Approve or decline time and leave requests for the people you manage
- Review your team's timesheets and correct entries directly when needed
- Schedule and run performance reviews
- See team-level visibility without reaching into records outside your team
HR & Payroll
The workflows that keep the organisation running correctly.
- Run the monthly payroll close and reconcile contractor invoices and expenses
- Manage HR documents, categories and acknowledgement tracking
- Handle onboarding and offboarding from one place
- Access bank and payment details under restricted, audited permissions
Administrators
Full control over the system, with every action accountable.
- Manage roles and permissions across the organisation
- Review the audit log for sensitive actions across the system
- Configure security settings, including multi-factor authentication policy
- Investigate on someone's behalf through safeguarded, logged impersonation
Security
Built with access control at the centre, not bolted on after
Lohat HR is built for organisations handling real payroll and personal data, so permission checks live in the database itself — not only in the screens you happen to see.
Role-based access
A defined hierarchy — employee, team lead, manager, admin — governs what each person can see and change.
Multi-factor authentication
Authenticator-app MFA is available and can be required for sensitive actions and specific roles.
Server-side enforcement
Permission checks run in the database, not just the interface — the same rule applies no matter how a request arrives.
Audit logging
Sensitive actions — role changes, approvals, payroll close — are written to an audit trail administrators can review.
Safeguarded impersonation
When an admin needs to investigate an issue on someone's behalf, it's scoped, logged and never uses a stored password.
