Citrus HR

Citrus HR

citrus HR provides affordable HR support and time-saving online HR software that helps small, medium, and fast-growing businesses reach their full potential with help from our friendly experts. It can be difficult for small businesses to know when they need to bring in HR. If the past couple of years has shown us anything, it is that no matter how small, every business needs trustworthy HR advice and support. Whether this is for specific HR enquires or guidance for staying on the right side of UK employment law, citrus HR has your back. We provide expert HR advice whenever you need it, and our HR software helps save you time on holiday bookings, payroll, expenses management, time-tracking and more. 

Feel safe in the knowledge that you have every facet of HR covered:

1. Tailor made employment contracts and a staff handbook to keep you legally compliant.

2. HR advice from our qualified consultants and employment lawyers whenever you have a question or issue.

3. Easy-to-use software gives you instant access to all your staff information and saves hours of admin time.

4. Payroll software so easy to use it will take you less than 5 minutes to run each month.  

We also integrate with Xero and QuickBooks Online to make your existing payroll processes more streamlined. And if you need support with increasing admin pressures as your team and business grows, this is how we can help:

• Qualified HR consultants and employment lawyers at the end of the phone if you should ever need help with any payroll enquires, staff grievances, hybrid working support, and any other HR guidelines.

• Access to workplace risk assessments to make transitioning back to office or onsite working easier and within Health and Safety legal guidelines. This includes guidance on hybrid working and flexible working patterns.

• Anonymous staff surveys to find out what your team is comfortable with, including social distancing at work, workplace socialising and activities, and to enquire about wellness and mental health.
