Everything you need to manage the people who work for you

Payslips, leave, schedules and attendance โ€” the admin of managing your staff, handled in one calm place.

Payslips with the details that matter

A proper payslip in your staff's hands every payday.

However you pay someone, the payslip lists their earnings, overtime, itemised deductions, UIF and net pay โ€” calculated from their rate and hours, so the figures match the work.

One app, however many places you run

The same calm place to manage the people who work for you โ€” pay, schedules, leave and payslips, all kept straight. Built for South African households, small teams and multi-property owners alike.

For more than one place

Your Airbnbs, rentals or second site

Run every property from one app instead of a WhatsApp group each. Add a place, put the right staff at each one, and every message and clock-in tells you which property it came from โ€” even when you're in another country.

  • Every property in one account
  • The right staff at the right place
  • Messages tagged with where they're from

For small teams

Your cafรฉ, salon, guesthouse or crew

Pay a mixed team โ€” a monthly manager, hourly and per-shift staff โ€” from one place. Payslips, leave and schedules sorted, with tidy records you can pull up whenever your accountant or bank asks. No payroll bureau required.

  • Monthly, hourly & per-shift pay in one team
  • Payslips, leave and shifts together
  • Tidy records, ready when you need them

At home

Your nanny, gardener or helper

The easy way to look after the people who work in your home โ€” a real payslip every payday, leave that tracks itself and UIF worked out for you. A tidier way to handle what you already do by EFT, and everyone gets their own app.

  • A proper payslip every payday
  • Leave and UIF handled for you
  • Each person gets their own login

Two sides, one app

You manage; your staff stay in the loop. Same source of truth, a view built for each.

Run the whole thing from one place

Pay everyone โ€” monthly, hourly, per shift or per contract โ€” approve leave and overtime, and see schedules and payslips in one view. No bookkeeper required.

  • Pay monthly, hourly, per shift or per contract
  • Approve leave and overtime in a tap
  • Schedules, leave and pay in one view

Payslips with the details that matter

Each payday, produce a payslip showing earnings โ€” monthly, hourly, per shift or per contract โ€” plus overtime, itemised deductions, UIF and net pay, all calculated for you.

Leave that keeps its own score

Annual leave accrues automatically and shows a live balance, so you and your staff always know where things stand โ€” no manual tallies.

Schedules & attendance, sorted

Plan shifts, log work days and keep an accurate record of exactly who worked when โ€” the foundation every payslip is built on.

Overtime & changes, with sign-off

Capture overtime and shift changes through a simple approval flow, so what you pay always matches what actually happened.

Pay them the way you pay them

Set each person as monthly, hourly, per shift or contract โ€” Homebird works out every payday from their rate and hours, so the maths matches how you actually pay.

A record you can stand behind

Every payroll-affecting change is logged automatically, so there's a clear history when anyone has a question.

Up and running in an afternoon

No setup project, no consultant. Three steps and you're done.

1

Add the people you employ

Set their pay, work days and leave in a couple of minutes.

2

They get their own login

Staff see their schedule, request leave and collect payslips themselves.

3

Stay in sync, every month

Payslips, leave and attendance keep themselves current. You review and approve.
