Less time managing HR. More time running your business.
When you have 15 employees, managing HR through spreadsheets, emails and disconnected documents can become harder than it needs to be.
You need a simple way to manage employee information, employment contracts, onboarding, leave, workplace policies and important employee milestones, without the cost and complexity of building an internal HR department.
Happy HR brings employee management, recruitment, onboarding, HR documentation and access to qualified HR advisory support together in one platform designed for Australian businesses.
Whether you are employing your first team, replacing manual processes or preparing for growth, Happy HR helps you manage more of your employee lifecycle in one place.
One platform. Less administration. Support when you need it.
What HR software does a 15-person business need?
The right HR software should make everyday people management easier without introducing unnecessary complexity. For a business with 15 employees, look for:
Employment contracts and policies
Leave and employee self-service
Compliance workflows
Payroll connections
You may not need every feature immediately, but choosing a platform that can grow with your business can help avoid another system change later.
Why consider Happy HR for your small business?
Happy HR combines HR technology with access to qualified HR advisory support, giving smaller businesses more than an employee database.
With Happy HR, you can bring together recruitment, onboarding, employee management, compliance documentation, performance, learning and payroll, workforce management capabilities within one platform.
You can also explore supported connections with payroll systems such as Xero and MYOB, subject to your required workflows and configuration.
For a business with 15 employees, the goal is straightforward: reduce repetitive administration, improve consistency and give your team a more organised way to manage HR.
How much does HR software cost for 15 employees?
Happy HR pricing plans start from $8 per user per month plus GST.
At that starting rate, 15 users would cost $120 per month plus GST, or $1,440 per year plus GST, assuming all 15 users are billed at that rate for 12 months.
Your actual cost will depend on the selected plan, included functionality and any applicable setup or configuration fees. Confirm the current pricing and inclusions before signing up.
Happy HR also offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
Will your HR software still work when your business grows?
