Holiday & Absence

Staff request on their phone. You approve in seconds.

  • 28-day UK entitlement tracked automatically
  • One-tap approve or decline — see clashes before you approve
  • Absence logging with 11 types — sickness triggers SSP check
  • SSP from day one — £123.25/week or 80% of earnings, auto-calculated

Compliance

Right to work. Sponsored visas. All tracked.

If you employ sponsored visa workers, the stakes are high. Mitra HR tracks every visa expiry date, alerts you 180 days before it expires, and flags if a sponsored worker's absence approaches the Home Office reporting threshold.

  • Right to work document upload — encrypted, owner-only access
  • Visa expiry alerts — 180 days, 90 days, and on the day
  • Absence threshold warning at 8 days (HO report due at 10)
  • Salary compliance check against minimum visa threshold

Records & Cases

Every record where you need it. Every case documented.

Handle a disciplinary, grievance, or investigation properly — with a documented timeline you can rely on if it's ever questioned. Store contracts, IDs, and policies in one organised place. Block busy dates from holiday requests before clashes happen.

  • Case management — disciplinaries, grievances, investigations with full timeline
  • Company document library — contracts, IDs, NDAs, policies in organised folders
  • Restricted dates — block busy days from holiday requests automatically
  • Confidential by design — case records visible only to owners and HR

Why Mitra HR

Not another HR platform.
One that fits how you actually work.

Every other HR system was built for big offices. We built this for the reality of running a small business — long hours, a handful of staff, sponsored workers, and no time for admin.

Works on any phone
Staff clock in, request holiday, and check their rota from any smartphone. No app to download. Just a web page that works.
Alerts that reach you
Visa expiries, absence warnings, and pending holiday requests surface the moment you log in — so nothing important slips past you.
Sponsored visa specialists
If you employ Skilled Worker visa holders, we track every date, every threshold, and every reporting obligation — automatically.
Payroll without the payroll software
We calculate gross pay, income tax, NIC, and net pay per employee. Export a CSV for HMRC Basic PAYE Tools or Xero. No RTI engine to worry about.
Set up in one afternoon
Add your staff, invite them by email, set the rota. We help you get started — no consultants, no training days, no implementation fee.
Your data is safe
All data encrypted at rest and in transit. UK GDPR compliant. Right to work documents stored in a private encrypted vault — owner-only access.
