What does your HR admin actually cost you?

Seven questions, and the same model we use to build a business case for a finance director. With our price in it, rather than left out.

Where it comes from

Every line named, and every one of them cut back

Nothing here is a headline figure. Each saving starts at a published UK benchmark, gets discounted, and is listed so you can take any single line out and still see what is left.

Where the benchmarks come fromCIPD Health and Wellbeing at Work 2025 puts UK sickness absence at 9.4 days a head. IRIS 2026 finds HR teams lose 3.4 hours a week to disconnected systems, and that one in four UK employees has had an incorrect payslip. ONS ASHE puts median full time pay at £39,039.

The small printPrices exclude VAT and assume an annual agreement. Private training is £400 a session, optional on Elite and required on Enterprise. Overtime and hours are modelled where pay is driven by hours worked, and left out where it is not. Indicative only: a real business case uses your own figures.

Jobs you do by hand

The admin nobody has handed to a system yet

Tick a job and it joins the total above. Every figure behind it is on this page and you can change any of them. We count 60 per cent of the time, then take off whatever is already counted elsewhere, so no hour appears twice.

What we have cut

The figures are deliberately smaller than they could be

A business case that nobody believes is worth nothing. Every lever below is held well under what the benchmark would allow.

  • 60 per cent of the lost HR hours, not all of them, and 60 per cent of the payroll time you told us about.
  • 0.3 of a sickness day a head, against a national average of 9.4 days.
  • Half your agency placements brought in house, not all of them.
  • Half the time spent totalling hours and working out overtime.
  • One percentage point off turnover, counted at cover and ramp up only.
  • Nothing counted twice, and nothing counted before you are live.
