How it works

A team in several countries — in three steps

Nothing to set up per country by hand: the country in the card is enough.

Set the country in the card

Country of work and, where days off differ, the region: a German Land, England, Scotland or Northern Ireland, Alsace-Moselle.

Public holidays of a country — as PapaHR counts them

Year

The same calendars PapaHR uses for requests, balances and the timesheet. One-off days (a coronation, a jubilee) and the days of single towns you add yourself.

Countries

What is built in for each country

Choose the country in the employee card — the rest is filled in. A country that is not here works too, with your own days off.

🇺🇸 USA — 11 days 10 working days
🇺🇦 Ukraine — under martial law holidays are working days 24 calendar days
🇬🇧 United Kingdom 3 regions 8 days 28 working days
🌍 Any other countryChoose it in the card and add the days off of that country in the settings — only its people get them. The working week and the leave you set yourself.

The annual leave is a starting value by the statutory minimum, not legal advice: in Poland it is 26 days after 10 years of work, in the UK 28 days may include the bank holidays. Change the days for your company in one place.

Why not a spreadsheet

A spreadsheet per country against PapaHR

📊 Excel and a calendar per office

  • Someone looks up the holidays of each country every year
  • A Bavarian holiday is counted in the leave by mistake
  • Each office keeps its own spreadsheet
  • Nobody sees the whole team on one screen
  • The timesheet is fixed by hand for every country

PapaHR

  • Holidays of 11 countries and their regions are built in
  • Each request skips the holidays of the person's country
  • One company, one list of people, any number of countries
  • One calendar of the team, with country badges
  • Absences go to the timesheet by themselves; Excel in one click
Personal data

GDPR: your data is in Europe

Your company owns the data and decides what to keep; PapaHR processes it on your behalf under the data processing agreement.

🇪🇺Data in Europe

The database and backups are in Frankfurt, Germany; files are kept in Europe.

📄Data processing agreement

PapaHR processes the data only to run the service and on your company's instructions.

🚨72 hours

If a breach affects your data, we notify you no later than 72 hours after we learn of it.

🧾Log of actions

Who viewed salaries, exported data, changed access or deleted — kept for a year and not changed.

🙋Requests of employees

We help you answer requests to access, correct or delete personal data.

🗑Deletion

After the account is deleted, the data is erased within 30 days, from backups — within 90.

🤖AI is off by default

What goes to AI your company decides with switches in the settings.

⏳Candidates' data by a term

Choose 6–36 months: PapaHR warns you a week before and deletes the data of those who were not hired.

Honestly

What PapaHR does not do

PapaHR is the HR platform: people, time off, the timesheet, onboarding, hiring. The money and the law of each country stay with those who do it there.

  • Payroll and taxesYour local payroll provider or accountant: PapaHR gives them the timesheet and absences in Excel.
  • Employer of recordTo hire without your own company in a country you need an EOR service.
  • Legal adviceHolidays and leave minimums are filled in by the law; collective agreements and seniority rules — check with a local lawyer.
  • Holidays of single townsSome towns of Bayern, Saxony and Thuringia have extra days — add them as company days off for Germany.
Free or Pro

What PapaHR costs your company

Leavers and sample employees are not counted. The price is per employee, not per HR user.

Why it is free

We earn when a company grows and needs Pro: more than 25 people, HR users besides the owner, 1:1s, reviews and goals. A small company gets the core of an HR system for free — and stays as long as it likes.

Questions

Can one company have people in Germany, the UK and Poland?

Yes. Set the country of work in each employee card. PapaHR takes the public holidays, the working week and the annual leave of that country; the calendar, requests, balances and the timesheet count each person by their own country.

Which countries are built in?

Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, the USA, Germany (16 Länder), France (with Alsace-Moselle), the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), Poland, the Netherlands and Ireland. Any other country can be chosen too — with your own days off.

What if our country is not on the list?

Choose it in the employee card and add its public holidays in the settings as days off for that country — only its people get them. Set the working week and the days of leave; PapaHR counts the rest. Write to us — we add the calendar of a new country quickly.

Can a country have a different working week?

Yes. In the settings each country of your people has its own working days — for example Monday to Thursday. Requests and the timesheet follow them.

Does PapaHR run payroll in each country?

No. PapaHR keeps the people, absences and the timesheet; payroll and taxes stay with your local provider or accountant. The timesheet and balances download to Excel in one click.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Your company is the controller of the data, PapaHR is the processor under the data processing agreement. The data is stored in Frankfurt, Germany; we notify you of a breach within 72 hours, keep a log of actions for a year and erase the data within 30 days after the account is deleted.

How much does it cost?

Free for up to 25 employees in all countries together, with no time limit and no card. A bigger team is Pro: $1.50 per employee a month paid yearly.
