An automated leaver process, and a catalogue that says where and in which language

Departing employees keep access to their own documents, and the training catalogue shows session location and language before anyone requests to join.

  • Automated leaver processconfigure a dedicated leaver role so a departing employee keeps access to their personal documents. That makes it straightforward to meet obligations requiring documents to stay available for up to five years after termination, with no manual work for HR. As part of the same process, a password reset email goes to the employee's personal address, so they can reach the application on their own after they leave.

  • Session location in the cataloguethe location shows in the overview, including the full address when one is configured, so employees see where a training takes place without opening the session details.

Core HR What is coming 5

Popay HR started with Popay Learn for training management and Popay Docs for secure, automated document distribution, which 70,000+ users rely on every day. Managing people goes further than learning and documents: it starts the moment someone joins and continues through every change and every departure.

We are building that full lifecycle into one connected platform, with compliance as the constant thread. Compliance as a built-in guarantee: every action traceable, every obligation met, every process audit-ready by design.

  • Workforce Managementone source of truth for employee data, contracts, salary records, organisational structure and employment history. Every other module builds on it.
  • Employee Lifecyclea configurable, automatic chain of tasks, notifications and system actions for a new hire, a role change or a departure. HR defines what happens per event and per population, and every step is logged.
  • Request Managementa structured way for every stakeholder to submit, track and act on any request, from an address change to a new laptop, each with its own form, approval flow and actors. Approved requests trigger the right follow-up actions.
  • Payroll Huba transparency layer between your HR system and your payroll partner. Changes are validated before submission, errors are classified as blocking or informational with guidance, and a delta report shows exactly what changed against the previous cycle.
  • Asset Managementa connected view of every laptop, phone, badge and company car, from assignment to return, retirement or disposal. Assignment can come from a lifecycle event or an approved request, and when someone leaves their assets are flagged for recovery automatically.
