What you gain in practice

The personnel file

All personnel data in one place

Master data, employment (contract type, working hours, probation period, salary), qualifications, and organisational assignment (location, department, position, supervisors).

  • One file per person instead of five separate stores.
Personnel file with master data, contact, address and tax details
GDPR accountability

Ready for the next data protection request

Whether it's an employee's access request, a deletion request after they leave, or evidence for the data protection authority: HaiSoTec People answers the question "who had access to which data, and when?" at the touch of a button.

Art. 15 access requests with deadline, as PDF or JSON
Permission system

Permission system down to the field

The permission system governs who sees and changes what across multiple dimensions: per function, per data field, and per responsibility scope. Enforcement happens server-side at every layer — not just in the interface.

Permission matrix: 70 permissions per role, down to the salary field
Mandatory documents

You see at once where a document is missing

One overview: which person has which mandatory document — and where is one missing?

  • Add missing documents directly from the matrix.
Compliance matrix: complete files and gaps side by side, upload per person
Deadlines

Documents that flag themselves

Upload with category, version, and expiry date.

  • The expiry dashboard warns in three stages (7/30/90 days) before a certificate or attestation becomes invalid.
Expiry dashboard with all three urgency levels
Field history

What applied on 1 March? One click shows it

Versionable master-data fields such as address, bank details or contact data keep a period-based history.

  • One click on the effective date shows what applied back then — still provable months later.
Field history with five periods and reason for change
Four-eyes principle

Sensitive changes need a second person

Changes to approval-required fields land in the approvals workspace and take effect only after they're approved.

Approvals: salary and master-data changes with before/after values
Provable

Every access is on record, not just every change

Every change, every access in the audit log — with a field-level diff and export for audits.

Access log with action, user, target and changed fields
How the company is built

Permissions follow your organisation

Locations, departments with hierarchy, positions and supervisor assignment mirror your structure in the system.

Organisation: three sites, departments per site with headcount
Live overview

Live overview: dashboard & reports

Compliance status, upcoming deadlines, open approvals, and active people — the dashboard shows the state of your personnel files in real time.

Dashboard with deadlines, open approvals and compliance status

Compliance status at a glance

How complete are your files? The dashboard names the missing mandatory documents and the people affected — the compliance matrix shows the same gap per person.

Deadlines you see without looking for them

What expires this week is on the dashboard by name — document, person and urgency, with no list to open and no deadline to keep in your head.

Open approvals and active people at a glance

How many changes are waiting for their four-eyes approval, how many people do you actively manage? Both figures live right on the dashboard — in real time.

What else is included

14 field types (from text and date to IBAN and social security number), configured via the form builder: required, versionable, notification-triggering.

GDPR built in, not bolted on

Access, deletion, retention, and audit log are core functions, not add-on modules from third parties.

Foundation for your time tracking

A single login, one permission system, one place to maintain master data for People and HaiSoTec Times.

Process flow

One system — from onboarding to deletion concept

From the first working day to demonstrable deletion: each step builds on the previous one. Master data, documents, permissions, and evidence stay connected end to end — no isolated stores, no media breaks.

From the binder to the digital file, without an ERP rollout project — custom fields instead of a rigid schema.

    Data migration via CSV import for personnel data, training for the HR team, productive start — with direct support in the first weeks.

Pricing

What HaiSoTec People costs

One fixed price for the whole company — neither per head nor per login. Hosting, maintenance, updates, monitoring and daily backups are part of it. There is no paid onboarding.

  • from €42per month for the whole company — neither per head nor per login
  • €299one-off setup fee
  • 12 monthsminimum term · renews for a year at a time
25 employees
  • HaiSoTec Times€99per month
  • HaiSoTec People€119per month
  • Both together€159per monthinstead of €218

Band “up to 25” — your invoice does not change up to 25 employees. Only above that does the next band apply automatically, with no application and no contract amendment.

More than 200 employees? Then we bill per person per month: €1.80 for Times, €2.15 for People, €2.90 in the bundle.

Monthly fixed prices by company size — HaiSoTec Times, HaiSoTec People and both products together

up to 200€389€459€619instead of €848
from 201€1.80€2.15€2.90per person per month

What counts is the number of actively maintained personnel files, not the number of logins: whether three HR staff or thirty managers sign in makes no difference to the price. Employees who have left stop counting once their file is set to inactive — they remain readable and reportable for as long as retention periods require.

Both together — around a quarter cheaper at every sizePeople holds the contract data — weekly hours, working days, holiday entitlement. Times picks it up and writes approved working times back every day. Setting up both products costs €449 together instead of €598, and one training session covers both. Each also runs on its own: the bundle is a price advantage, not a technical requirement.Take a look at HaiSoTec Times

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about HaiSoTec People. Find quick answers to the most important questions.

Do employees have access to the system?

No, deliberately not. HaiSoTec People is a tool for the HR team and authorised roles. That's exactly what makes access control so clear: there are no self-service accounts that would need to be secured. You answer employees' access requests via an Art. 15 export.

What does HaiSoTec People cost?

One fixed price for the whole company, neither per head nor per login: €42 per month up to 5 employees, €59 up to 10, €119 up to 25, €289 up to 100 — the scale runs to 200, above which it is €2.15 per personnel file per month. Setup is a one-off €299. What counts is the number of actively maintained personnel files; whether three HR staff or thirty managers sign in makes no difference to the price. The monthly price includes hosting in the Frankfurt am Main data centre, your own fully isolated environment, the GDPR tooling, maintenance and updates, daily backups, monitoring and e-mail support. Together with HaiSoTec Times the same company size costs around a quarter less than both systems separately — €159 instead of €218 at 25 employees. The minimum term is 12 months. All prices are net and exclude VAT; our offering is aimed exclusively at businesses within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

Where is our data stored?

In Google Cloud, Frankfurt (EU) region — in an environment created solely for your company. There is no shared database in which your personnel data sits next to another customer's.

What happens with an access request under Art. 15 GDPR?

One click generates a complete, structured PDF export of all data stored about the person; the 30-day period is tracked in the system.

How does deletion under Art. 17 work?

Deletion requests go through a four-eyes approval process. The system deletes or anonymises the data and creates a deletion certificate as evidence. Statutory retention periods and legal holds take precedence and are checked.

Can I control who sees salary data?

Yes, that's the heart of the permission system: confidentiality levels per field, permissions per role, responsibility scope per location and department. Not authorised means: not visible.

Can we create our own data fields?

Yes, via the form builder with 14 field types — including required-field, versioning, and confidentiality settings, without a developer ticket.

How does our existing data get into the system?

Via CSV import for personnel data; you upload documents afterwards through the upload assistant. We support you with the initial setup.

How do HaiSoTec People and HaiSoTec Times relate?

People is the central platform for users, roles, permissions, and licences. Times uses the same master data and the same login — you don't maintain anything twice.

Are there different feature tiers?

Yes, two editions: Basic (basic personnel data, role management, licence management — ideal as a foundation for HaiSoTec Times) and Pro (additionally sensitive data areas, document management, GDPR module, organisational structure, custom fields, audit log, and much more). Details in a conversation.

What do we have to run ourselves?

Nothing. Managed cloud: we handle operation, updates, scaling, and security.

Is the system accessible?

The system is developed following the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines — including keyboard operation, screen reader support, and sufficient contrast. A formal conformance audit is not part of the product.

How quickly are we up and running?

After the assessment and configuration, typically within a few weeks — the test tenant is available considerably sooner.
