HR software built around
South African businesses.
Local businesses shouldn't need expensive international HR software or outdated systems to manage their people properly.
South African leave structures
Annual, sick and family responsibility leave set up the way local businesses actually use them.
Rand-based pricing
One monthly price in rands. No foreign currency, no exchange-rate surprises.
Local support
Support from people in the same time zone who understand how local businesses run.
POPIA-conscious data management
Employee information is handled with South African privacy expectations in mind.
Local HR workflows
Probation, warnings and documentation built around familiar local HR practice.
Payroll integration ready
Designed to sit alongside the payroll software your business already uses.
Shiftly is designed with South African HR requirements in mind. It does not provide legal advice, and it remains each business's responsibility to meet its own obligations.
Keep the payroll system
you already use.
Changing HR software shouldn't mean rebuilding your entire payroll process. Shiftly is designed to work alongside the payroll tools your business already relies on.
Integrations coming soon.
Shiftly keeps HR moving.
Get important reminders before small HR tasks become big problems.
