What RootHR is

RootHR is a cloud platform for UK employers that brings together human resources, workforce operations and UKVI compliance. It keeps employee records and supports onboarding, attendance, leave, rota planning, recruitment, performance management and document management. UKVI functions cover Right to Work checks, eVisa monitoring, sponsor licence management, expiry alerts and compliance dashboards. Employees can use the mobile app on Android and iOS to view the directory, attendance information and documents, receive compliance alerts and approve leave. RootHR also provides employee self-service, role-based permissions and an audit log. The service is available through the web as well as its mobile applications. Root HR describes the platform as secure and cloud-based and links to a Cyber Essentials certificate. Business plans include standard support, while Business Plus lists 24/7 priority support and a dedicated account manager. Enterprise is customised for an organisation's workforce and operational requirements, with a dedicated server environment, dedicated mobile application, custom workflows and integrations. Root HR advertises free onboarding, no setup fees and UK-based support. It is designed for UK businesses including healthcare, care homes, hospitality, retail, construction and professional services.
