HR for education teams

From First Invite, Keep Every Profile, Workday and Decision Connected.

Bring onboarding, staff profiles, leave, rosters and payroll-ready detail into one hub, so schools, RTOs and growing teams stop entering the same information twice.

Invite up to 100 employees at once

Invite one person or a batch, then see who has replied.

New starter The staff journey

Employment, organisation, documents and history together.

Staff profile The staff journey

Balances, requests and holidays scoped to who they affect.

Leave and holidays The staff journey

Named shifts, rosters, rotations and change requests.

Rosters and rotations The staff journey

Clock-ins, summaries and exports beside the profile.

Staff attendance The staff journey

Classification, bank and tax detail ready for the pay run.

Payroll-ready detail The staff journey

Why HR gets harder

People Operations Break When the Details Drift Apart.

Staff information is never one fact. It is an agreement, an entitlement, a roster and a document with a date on it — each settling somewhere different.

Academyship keeps the people information and the rules in one place.

  • One staff profile the rest of your workflows build on
  • Entitlements that carry forward, renew and recalculate to your rules
  • Rosters, rotations and changes held as real requests
  • Documents, work rights and key dates kept on the person
  • Leave decisions that show who decided and when

The same person is entered more than once

A new starter is typed into one place for HR, another for the roster and a third for pay. The copies stop agreeing quickly.

Joining
Employee directory listing staff with employee ID, name, email, department, designation, joining date and status, above a search box

Entitlements are worked out beside the system

Balances kept on a spreadsheet drift between renewals, and nobody can show how a figure was reached.

Leave
Leave quota panel listing each leave type with its allocated, used and remaining days for the current period

Rosters, attendance and changes disagree

A swap agreed in a message never becomes anything the system holds, so planned and worked hours disagree.

Workday
Shift change request list showing the scheduled shift, the requested shift, the reason given and whether the request is pending, approved or rejected

Documents and key dates surface too late

Work rights, certificates and contract dates sit in a folder nobody opens until something forces it.

Work rights
Employee documents listed by category beside a visa entry showing visa number, issue date, expiry date, permanent status and an attached scan

Where HR connects

One People Record. HR Workflows Stay Connected.

Keep the people record current once, then let onboarding, leave, rosters, documents and payroll work from it.

Comes into HR

  • Invitations and applications
  • Employees added by hand
  • Bulk employee import

  • Leave, holiday and shift settings
  • Payroll classifications

HR holds

  • Staff profiles and history
  • Organisation and reporting lines
  • Leave types and quotas
  • Shifts, rosters and rotations
  • Documents and work rights
  • Increments and recognition

HR connects out to

  • Attendance, for staff capture
  • Timesheets, for approved hours
  • Payroll, for employment detail
  • Recruitment, at the handover
  • Reports managers read
  • Exports to send on

From invite to everyday HR

Bring People In. Keep Every Next Step Moving.

The same staff profile carries someone from the first invitation through every ordinary week after it.

  1. Employee invitations list showing invited names with sent, opened, submitted and expired states, a reviewer column and a shareable onboarding link

    Invite or add

    Send one invitation, or a batch of up to a hundred, with the department, designation and employment type already chosen. Share a single onboarding link where that suits the role better.

    Or create the person directly, or bring a group in from a spreadsheet.

  2. Public onboarding form on the personal details step, with the seven areas listed as progress and fields for title, full name and date of birth

    Collect the details

    The onboarding form walks the applicant through personal details, contact, address, emergency contact, personal information, tax and sign-in details, validating each area before the next opens.

  3. Employee profile showing employment type, joining, probation and contract dates, department, designation and reporting line, with tabs for leaves, attendance, documents and immigration

    Review and commence

    Your team checks what came back and creates or commences the employee through the route that applies. Employment terms, organisation placement and access stay with HR.

    Employment type and the joining, probation, notice and contract dates are set here, and entitlements open against the types that apply.

  4. Shift roster grid with staff names down the side and days across the top, each cell showing an assigned shift name and its short code

    Support and operate

    From there the profile carries leave and balances, rosters and shift changes, holidays, documents and work rights, increments and recognition.

What HR brings together

Bring the Staff Journey Into One Connected Record.

From onboarding and work rights to leave, rosters and recognition.

01
Onboard and organise

Invite one employee or many, import existing records and place everyone in the right department, designation and reporting line. Each staff record is then useful from day one.

  • Invitations, one or in a batch
  • Direct entry or bulk import
  • Departments and designations
  • Reporting lines and categories
02
Profiles and work rights

Keep the dates, documents and obligations of employment in one profile. Contracts, probation, work rights, emergency contacts, bank, tax, super and classification stay together.

  • Probation, notice and contract dates
  • Documents and emergency contacts
  • Visas, passports and work rights
  • Bank, tax, super and classification
03
Leave and holidays

Define leave types and quotas, then handle half-day or multi-day requests with evidence attached. Holidays can be scoped to the people they affect, so balances are easy to explain.

  • Leave types with their own quotas
  • Half-day and multi-day requests
  • Evidence attached to a request
  • Holidays scoped to who they affect
04
Shifts and attendance

Create named shifts, build rosters by employee or day and apply rotation patterns or bulk changes. Planned work, clock-ins, attendance summaries and exports remain connected.

  • Named shifts with their own rules
  • Rosters by member or by day
  • Rotation sequences and bulk changes
  • Staff clock-ins, summaries and exports
05
Career and recognition

Record promotions, increments, projects and contributions as part of the employee’s history. Recognition, tasks, time logs and profile activity show how a person’s role has developed.

  • Increments and promotions
  • Appreciations on the profile
  • Projects, tasks and time logs
  • Profile activity history

Scroll sideways, or use the arrow, Home, End and Page keys, to reach every card.

The employee profile

See the Whole Staff Story in One Place.

The profile is where HR work happens: who someone is, where they sit, and what is still outstanding.

Employee profile showing employment type, joining, probation and contract dates, department, designation and reporting line, with tabs for leaves, attendance, documents and immigration
1 Identity and employment Employee ID, employment type and the joining, probation, notice and contract dates.
2 Where they sit Department, designation and reporting line, drawn from the structure your team maintains.
3 Leave, roster and time Entitlement balances, the assigned shift and this person’s attendance, beside the profile.
4 Documents and contacts Documents by category, emergency contacts, and visa detail with its issue and expiry dates.
5 History and recognition Increments, promotions, appreciations and activity. Tabs follow the modules and access in use.

Fictional institution. Every name, figure and detail shown on this page is invented for demonstration.

Onboarding

Onboard at Scale Without Chasing Paperwork

One invitation or a hundred, a shareable link, and a clear view of who has replied.

A new term brings a group of starters at once. Invite them individually or as a batch, share one onboarding link, and watch each invitation move through its own states. Chase the quiet ones, extend an expiry, or reissue.

Adding people by hand or importing a group stays available where that suits better.

  • Individual and batch invitations
  • A shareable onboarding link
  • Reminders, expiry, revoke and reissue
See the Joining Path

Workday

Plan the Workday, Approve Changes and Keep Time Connected

Leave decided against a live balance, rosters planned, changes raised properly.

A manager approving leave sees the entitlement the request draws on before deciding, and the decision keeps the approver, the time and a reason. Rosters are built from named shifts, or driven by a rotation sequence.

Staff attendance and approved hours carry on into Attendance, Timesheets and Payroll.

  • Leave decided against a live balance
  • Rosters, bulk assignment and rotations
  • Shift changes raised as real requests

What your team can use

Turn HR Records Into Outputs Teams Can Use.

Use current HR data for leave decisions, reporting and clean handoffs.

Leave request list showing employee, leave type, dates, duration, paid status and pending or approved state, with approve and reject actions
Staff attendance list showing clock-in and clock-out times, half-day marking, where the person worked from, and a monthly summary column
Employee profile showing employment type, joining, probation and contract dates, department, designation and reporting line, with tabs for leaves, attendance, documents and immigration

Leave

  • Leave requests and history
  • Leave report by employee — Report
  • Leave quota report — Report and export
  • Leave export — Excel
  • Leave quota report export — Excel
  • Approval and rejection reasons

Workday

  • Attendance summaries — Report
  • Attendance by member — Report and export
  • Attendance export — Excel
  • Shift schedule export — Excel

People

  • Staff profile and history
  • Documents and work rights
  • Increments and promotions
  • Appreciation history
  • Departments and designations

Reports and exports draw from the same HR records shown on screen, reducing spreadsheet reconciliation before information is shared.

Set the rules once

Configure HR Around How Your Team Works.

The rules live in settings, not in whoever happens to pick up the request.

Leave settings listing leave types with monthly or yearly allocation, paid status, probation and notice rules and over-utilisation setting
Shift rotation setup showing an ordered sequence of named shifts and the list of employees the rotation has been attached to
Department hierarchy shown as a nested tree with a parallel designation hierarchy beside it and the reporting line for a selected employee

Institution settings give each request a consistent reference point for the leave, holiday and shift rules your team has configured.

The right access for every role

Control Who Can View, Decide and Change.

HR holds highly sensitive staff information. Role-based module and action permissions help keep profile, leave and roster work with the responsible teams.

Responsibility group

HR administration

Sets the rules and keeps people information right.

  • Add, edit and archive staff profiles
  • Configure leave, shift and holiday rules
  • Maintain departments and designations
What this group also does
Import a group, and act on invitations.

Responsibility group

Managers and coordinators

Given the actions their job needs, and no more.

  • Decide leave under the rule they are given
  • Work with rosters and shift changes
  • See what their access actually allows
How leave decisions differ
A manager may decide, pre-approve, or not decide at all.

Responsibility group

Employees

Their own information, and their own requests.

  • Apply for leave against their balance
  • Attach evidence to a request
  • See their roster and their own profile
Where the boundary sits
Access is granted by module, and can be set per employee.
Leave request list showing employee, leave type, dates, duration, paid status and pending or approved state, with approve and reject actions

A manager decides leave

Leave approval is not a single switch. A manager can be allowed to decide, allowed only to pre-approve so HR still confirms, or not allowed at all.

The decision stores the approver, the time and a reason either way.

Shift change request list showing the scheduled shift, the requested shift, the reason given and whether the request is pending, approved or rejected

A coordinator works the roster

Give coordinators the roster and shift-change permissions their work requires, while keeping unrelated HR actions outside that role.

Permissions are configured by module and action in the current access model.

Leave quota panel listing each leave type with its allocated, used and remaining days for the current period

An employee applies for leave

Staff apply against the balance they hold, choose a half day or a run of dates, and attach evidence where the policy expects it.

Over-utilisation is flagged on the request rather than found at renewal.

Beyond the staff list

Keep the Details Behind Staff Decisions Clear.

See the records behind employment, structure, work rights, leave and recognition.

  • Employee profile showing employment type, joining, probation and contract dates, department, designation and reporting line, with tabs for leaves, attendance, documents and immigration

    Staff profile and lifecycle

    Employment type and the joining, probation, notice and contract dates on one profile, with status and archiving for people who have moved on.

  • Department hierarchy shown as a nested tree with a parallel designation hierarchy beside it and the reporting line for a selected employee

    Organisation structure

    Departments and designations each keep their own hierarchy, so reporting lines match how your institution is arranged.

  • Employee documents listed by category beside a visa entry showing visa number, issue date, expiry date, permanent status and an attached scan

    Documents and work rights

    Documents held by category, emergency contacts, and visa or passport detail with issue and expiry dates and a scanned copy.

  • Holiday list showing each holiday date and occasion with the departments, designations and employment types it has been limited to

    Leave, quotas and holidays

    Quotas per leave type with carry-forward and renewal, recalculation for one person or everyone, and holidays scoped to the staff they cover.

  • Staff attendance list showing clock-in and clock-out times, half-day marking, where the person worked from, and a monthly summary column

    Work context on the profile

    Projects, tasks, tickets and time logs sit with the employee, so a manager sees the work beside the person.

  • Two separate panels: a payroll award classification with its effective date and rates, and an appreciation entry with its type, icon and date

    Classification and recognition

    Keep award classification and its effective date with employment data, while appreciations record recognition on the profile—clear context without mixing two different records.

Questions, answered clearly

What Teams Ask Before Bringing HR Together.

Seven direct answers for schools, RTOs and growing teams bringing people operations into one system.

How do new starters get into the system?

Three ways, and you can mix them. Invite one person or a batch of up to a hundred, share a single onboarding link, or add someone directly. A spreadsheet of starters can be imported.

What do employees fill in themselves, and what stays with HR?

The form collects personal details, contact, address, emergency contact, personal information, tax and sign-in details. Employment terms, organisation placement and access are set by your team during review.

How do leave balances and approvals actually work?

Each leave type carries its own quota, allocated monthly or yearly, with rules for when it becomes available and how probation and notice are treated. Staff apply for a half day or a run of dates and can attach evidence.

How are rosters and shift changes handled?

Shifts are named and carry their own hours and timing rules. Assign them by member or across a group at once, or set a rotation sequence when the pattern repeats. A different shift becomes a change request.

How are documents and work rights kept?

Documents sit on the profile by category, alongside emergency contacts. Visa and passport entries hold the number, issue and expiry dates, permanent status and a scanned copy.
