HR for Education

Schools, universities, and edtech companies need to manage faculty, adjuncts, administrative staff, and student workers — with HR cycles tied to academic calendars, not fiscal years.

Evaluate the product and implementation scope with our team.

Challenges you might be facing

Contract renewals for adjunct and visiting faculty are tracked informally — renewals get missed, creating staffing gaps at semester start

Leave policies differ significantly between tenured faculty (sabbatical eligible), administrative staff (standard PTO), and hourly student workers

Small HR budgets mean educational institutions are priced out of enterprise HR platforms — and the free tools aren't robust enough

Performance evaluation cycles don't align with academic semesters — annual reviews happen mid-semester, disrupting teaching schedules

Tracking grant-funded positions (which employees are paid by which grant, for how long) is done manually in spreadsheets

Professional development and continuing education credit tracking for faculty lacks structure and accountability

How we support your team

Fixed-Term Contract Management

Track contract start dates, end dates, and renewal windows for adjunct faculty, visiting professors, and temporary staff. Automated renewal reminders 90 and 60 days before expiry.

Flexible Leave Policies per Role

Configure entirely different PTO structures for faculty (sabbatical, research leave), administrative staff (annual/sick), and student workers (hourly/no accrual).

Education-Friendly Pricing

Per-employee pricing with education sector discounts. No license minimums, no multi-year commitments. Scale up for fall enrollment, scale down for summer.

Academic Calendar Integration

Holiday schedules and break periods tied to your academic year, not the calendar year. Support for semester-based and trimester-based calendars.

LMS for Professional Development

Track mandatory professional development hours, continuing education credits, and teaching certifications. Faculty can self-enroll in approved courses.

Grant & Funding Source Tracking

Tag employees to specific grants or funding sources. Track how many FTE-equivalents each grant supports, with expiry alerts when grant periods end.
