Welcome to Blankitt HR

Welcome

This guide walks you through everything you need to do to get a brand-new Blankitt HR tenant from zero to your first finalised pay run. Expect to spend 1–2 hours depending on your team size.

What Blankitt HR gives you

A single source of truth for your team:

• People — employees, contracts, documents, org chart, signatures
• Leave — annual, sick, statutory (SMP/SPP/SPL/SAP/SSP/SBP/Carer's/Jury), team calendar, public holidays
• Payroll — UK gross-to-net engine with PAYE, NI, student loans, pension auto-enrolment, salary sacrifice, payslip PDFs, CSV exports to Xero/Sage/BrightPay
• Performance — review cycles (annual / mid-year / probation / 360°), calibration sessions, goals
• Recruitment — jobs, candidates, interviews, offers, atomic hire-to-employee flow
• Learning & Development — training records, mandatory training compliance, budgets
• Employee Relations — case log for disciplinary / grievance / PIP (legal review pending)
