What CarbonHRM is

CarbonHRM provides HR, payroll, and reporting for churches, ministries, and non-profits. Its core HRM and Payroll tools manage profiles, positions, compensation, benefits, and payroll processing for full-time, part-time, and contract staff. Payroll supports ministry-specific items including housing allowances, 403(b), and Form 4361, along with tax filing, W-2 and 1099 support, direct deposit, and payroll reporting. Optional modules cover timekeeping, leave, reviews, tax reporting, analytics, onboarding, integrations, and AI features. Staff can use the mobile app for pay history, pay stubs, tax documents, time entry, PTO requests, and notifications. Time entry can account for events, multiple jobs, overtime, and geofenced clock-ins at campuses. CarbonHRM is available on Android, iOS, and web. Its custom subscription includes core HRM and Payroll plus the mobile app; other modules are optional. Pricing is quoted after a conversation and depends on staff count, modules, and integration needs. There is no free plan.
