What the HRPlus4 HR Software Features Do
Employee records and employee database
Keep every employee's information in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets and paper files. Store comprehensive employee data, dependents and emergency contacts, and track birthdates so milestones are never missed. A complete employee history keeps the full record of each person from hire forward.
Built-in non-biased discipline points system
The exclusive discipline system gives managers a consistent, documented way to record employee discipline, helping you treat similar situations the same way and keep clear records if questions come up later. For each violation you enter the reason, the violation date and the points, and HRPlus4 totals the accrued points between any two dates.
Automatic EEO data compilation
HRPlus4 compiles Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) data directly from your employee records, saving the manual counting and re-keying that EEO reporting usually requires.
Attendance tracking
The attendance module records employee attendance alongside the rest of each employee's record, so absences and time off are tracked in the same system as everything else.
HR reports
Comprehensive reporting lets you pull the information you need from your employee records for management reviews, audits and day-to-day HR decisions.
Employee benefits module (Advanced)
HRPlus4 Advanced adds a benefits module for tracking employee benefits as part of the same employee record.
256-bit encryption and anti-tamper protection (Advanced)
Advanced upgrades the standard password security with enhanced 256-bit encryption and anti-tamper protection to help keep sensitive employee information safe.
Why Choose HRPlus4 Over Subscription HR Software
Most HR software charges per employee every month and stores your records on someone else's servers. HRPlus4 is different: the Standard edition is free with no upcharges, the Advanced edition is a single one-time $49.00 payment, your data stays stored locally rather than in the cloud, and you do not have to buy a payroll package to use it. See how it stacks up on our HR software comparison page.
System Requirements
HRPlus4 is Windows HR software, tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Because your employee data is stored locally, there is no cloud account to set up and no internet connection is needed to use your records.
