For German operators with distributed workforces
The system of record for workforces that don't sit in one office
German groups run service crews across dozens of sites, construction teams that rotate, and resorts abroad staffed from three continents. HumanR was built inside a distributed, expat-heavy operation — the shape of workforce a desk-bound HR suite never quite fits.
Made for how Germany operations actually run
- Multi-site operations as the default
- Multi-currency payroll (EUR + USD/local)
- Approval chains you define
- Document & permit expiry alerts
- Attendance across sites and crews
- Component-based statutory deductions
Payroll in Germany
EUR — Euro
EUR payroll with USD or local-currency package lines for international sites and expat roles — one run, all settled.
How HumanR fits Germany
Ordnung for distributed teams
Sites, departments, approval chains and per-location reporting are core architecture. Every hire, transfer and termination follows a defined flow with an audit trail — the way your processes are actually written.
Honest about German payroll
Lohnabrechnung and statutory filings are your Steuerberater's or payroll bureau's territory — we don't pretend to replace them. HumanR is the operational system of record: packages, components, attendance and gross lines, plus full payroll for international sites where that model fits.
International sites, one system
The resort in the Indian Ocean and the crew in Frankfurt live in the same system, with per-site currencies, local components and consolidated headcount — built inside an operation that ran exactly this split.

We didn't set out to build software — we set out to survive month-end. Once the workbook was in the system and payday became a button, we realised we'd built the product we could never buy.
Questions we hear from Germany operators
Does HumanR run German statutory payroll (Lohnabrechnung)?
No — and we say so up front. German statutory payroll and filings stay with your tax advisor or payroll bureau. HumanR is the system of record for people, contracts, attendance, approvals and multi-site operations, and runs full payroll for your international sites where that fits.
Where is our data hosted?
Each customer runs as an isolated tenant, and hosting location is part of the implementation conversation — ask us about the current options for EU-based deployment.
Can approval flows match our internal policies?
Yes — approval chains are configurable per process, so leave, hires and changes route through exactly the people your policy names, with a full audit trail.
