Employee records, time off & reviews
The people side of the same system that creates their accounts: an employee file, time off with manager approval, goals and review cycles, training courses, policy signing, anonymous surveys, people reports and a hand-off file for whoever runs your payroll. Not payroll itself, and not benefits.
One record per person, kept private by design.
The file HR works in every day. Sensitive parts are encrypted, shown only to the people allowed to see them, and every look at pay or a document leaves a trace.
The employee file
Employment details, job history and emergency contacts for each person, on every plan. People keep their own personal details up to date, and a manager sees the files of their own reporting line.
Pay history
A dated record of what each person is paid — nothing is calculated or paid from it. Amounts are encrypted, never shown in a list, and revealed one at a time; every reveal is written to the audit log.
Document vault
Contracts and letters kept on the person’s file, encrypted at rest. Each document carries its own visibility level, so HR decides whether the employee or their manager can see it. Every download is audited.
Date reminders
HR is told when a probation end, a contract end or a right-to-work expiry is coming up, and the person’s manager is told about probation and contract dates. No reminder is sent twice.
When someone leaves
A departure record is written automatically when offboarding removes their access, so turnover can be reported even if nobody fills anything in. HR adds the type, a reason from a fixed list, and whether they could be rehired.
Retention for leavers
Off by default. Set a number of months, and the sensitive parts of a former employee’s file are removed once they have been gone that long. Their job history and departure record are kept.
The employee file itself comes with every plan. Pay history, the document vault and everything else on this page are included from Team.
Ask, approve, and see who’s out.
People request time off themselves, their manager decides, and the balance keeps itself.
- HR defines the leave types: how many days a year, granted upfront or accrued monthly, and how many may carry over at year end.
- The request form shows what a range costs in working days before it is sent, half days included. Weekends and your holiday calendars are not counted.
- The manager approves or declines; a decline needs a reason. The person can cancel a request.
- A who’s-out calendar shows approved and waiting time off side by side.
- HR can adjust a balance by hand, and the adjustment stays on the person’s leave record.

The yearly rhythm, without a second tool.
Small tools that share the reporting line you already keep in the org chart, so the right manager sees the right people without any set-up.
Goals
People keep their own goals and mark them on track, at risk, done or dropped. Anyone above them in the reporting line can see them, set goals for them and update progress. Reusable goal templates save the retyping.
Review cycles
HR writes the questions and launches a cycle. Each person writes a self review; their manager writes theirs, with an optional 1–5 rating, and chooses when to share it. Colleague feedback and a calibration step, where HR compares ratings before release, are optional per cycle.
Anonymous surveys
Answers are stored with no name and no timestamp, so nobody — HR included — can tie one to a person. Results appear only once the survey is closed and at least five people have answered, with no per-department split.
Review impact check
For a finished cycle, compare how different groups were rated using the four-fifths screen regulators start with. Groups too small to mean anything are not shown. It is a screen, not a finding, and exports as CSV or a signed PDF.
Renewals and trends
Training that has to be redone is assigned again when it expires, with a reminder a week before it is due and once when it is overdue. Run a survey again with the same questions and the answers line up as a trend.
Courses to take, policies to sign, one list per person.
Training is delivered inside Zonitix: people read, watch and answer in the app, and HR sees who is done. Policy signing works the same way and lands on the same list.
Courses people take in the app
HR writes a course as sections of text and can add a video. People read and watch it inside Zonitix, so there is no second sign-in and nothing to chase in another tool.
Knowledge checks
A short quiz at the end of a course, with a pass mark. Passing it is what completes the course, and the score and number of tries are kept on the record. HR can limit the tries per day.
Learning paths
Put courses in order. When someone finishes one, the next is assigned by itself, and a course they have already done is skipped. A path can be given to new joiners automatically. HR sees how far along each person is.
Assigning, reminders and the roster
Assign a course with a date to finish by. People are reminded a week before it is due, on the day and after it is missed; once it is a week late their manager is told too. HR sees who has and who has not finished, and a finished course comes with a certificate.
A starter course library
Thirteen ready-made courses, among them security awareness, data protection, code of conduct and working remotely. Each has text, a video of about a minute and a knowledge check. They are starting points: add one, then edit it to match your own rules.
Phishing simulation
Send a practice phishing email to your own staff from six built-in templates. A second person has to approve it first. The link opens a page that says at once it was a practice and shows what gave it away. You see who clicked and who reported it. The template text is fixed, and opens are not tracked.
Policy signing
Start from a library of policy templates and make each one yours; a policy is a draft until a second person approves it. People confirm each section and sign with their typed name, then receive a signed copy. Signing comes round again every year, and HR sees who has and who has not signed.
My to-do
Each person has one list: the training they still have to do and the policies they still have to sign. It is where they open a course, sign a policy, and report an email they think is suspicious.
Training, phishing simulation and policy signing are included from Team. Counting them as audit evidence against a framework is part of the Compliance Hub, on Advanced.
Numbers for you, a file for payroll.
What leaves the HR module, and where it stops.
People reports
Headcount, joiners and leavers, turnover and tenure. Counts and averages only, never a list of names — and a group of fewer than three is folded into “Other”, so a report cannot point at one person.
Payroll hand-off file
For any period, one CSV with what a payroll run needs to hear: who joined, who left, whose pay changed, and the approved time off taken. It has its own permission, and every build is audited.
Alongside your HR system
Keep the HR system you have and choose, field by field, which system owns each piece of data. Today BambooHR is the one HR system Zonitix reads from automatically; from any other, HR enters the data by hand.
What it is not
Not payroll: nothing is calculated, taxed or paid, and there is no bank connection. Not benefits administration. Not a course marketplace: Training delivers the courses you write and a small starter library, not a catalogue of third-party content. Your payroll and benefits provider stays where it is.
