Time lives in one tool. The person lives in another.
Payroll waits on a CSV. The manager approved the hours in a chat thread. The personnel file is a folder named Final_v3.
HRIS for growing US teams
Peerroll is people-ops software for growing US employers: employee files, a light hiring board (openings and an applicant pipeline — not a recruiting suite), invite email when mail is configured, an org chart from reporting lines, time punches with location and IP, PTO, a shared calendar of approved leave, light benefits admin (plans and enrollments on the file — not a carrier platform), a payroll hours handoff, custom reports you can save and run (optional schedule — not a BI tool), mobile self-service on a phone — including an installable web app on the home screen — e-sign onboarding packets, a document library on the employee e-file, onboarding task workflows with reminders, offboarding checklists (not a full IT suite), manager tools, manager digests (daily or weekly — email when mail is configured), and light performance (goals and simple reviews on the file — not a talent or calibration platform). Built for HIPAA-minded teams who need access controls they can explain.
Pre-launch. No customer counts. No awards. Pricing is illustrative until we publish a quote.

The problem
Growing teams do not fail because they lack another dashboard. They fail because the person, the punch, and the policy do not share a record. Peerroll is that record.
Payroll waits on a CSV. The manager approved the hours in a chat thread. The personnel file is a folder named Final_v3.
Who applied for Dallas field tech sits in a folder named APPLICANTS_FINAL. A light hiring board is the opening and the pipeline — not a recruiting suite.
If someone clocked in from a parking lot two cities over, you find out after a wage complaint. Location and IP should sit on the punch, not in a later investigation.
Balances drift. Accruals are tribal knowledge. Who is out Thursday lives in twelve chats — not a shared calendar of approved leave.
Who is on the family medical plan should sit on the employee file. Light benefits admin is the plan list and the enrollment — not a carrier platform or a broker marketplace.
Laptop, accounts, and a first-week plan hide in email. A hire needs a checklist with owners and a reminder when work is due — not a second automation suite.
Accounts stay open. The laptop walks. The file is a hope. Exit needs a task list with owners — not a full IT offboarding suite.
Managers closed hours in one place. Finance retypes them into another. Approved hours and approved PTO should leave as a file or an API payload.
You added Jordan to the roster. The set-password link lives in a text you sent from your phone. When mail is configured, the invite goes to the work email. When it is not, you copy the link on purpose.
The offer went out as an attachment. The handbook is a hope. When someone asks who signed, you reconstruct a thread instead of opening the file.
Medical notes, SSNs, and offer letters sit next to the birthday list. HIPAA-minded employers need roles you can explain, not a hope that nobody forwards the sheet.
Two punch exceptions and a leave request sat since Monday. A daily or weekly digest should land when mail is configured — not a chat thread pretending to be the queue.
What Jordan is working toward should sit on his file. Light performance is a goal and a simple review — not a talent platform or a calibration session.
Product pillars
Job, site, manager, documents, and status in a single file. The e-file is folders and uploads on that person — not a drive named HR_SHARE. The directory is the system, not a report you export on Fridays.
Clock in and out with device, IP, and location on the punch. Exceptions stay visible to the manager who has to sign them.
PTO requests hit the right person. Balances follow the policy you set. Approved leave lands on a shared team calendar so coverage is a grid, not a thread.
Roles for operators, managers, and employees. Built for HIPAA-minded US employers: encryption, backups, and a trail of who opened what.
Employee time tracking
Peerroll records where the clock-in happened and which IP it came from. Field teams, warehouses, and hybrid offices get the same rule: the punch is incomplete without the trail.
Time and attendanceTime clock

On-site match. Punch stored with device, IP, and coordinates.

Payroll hours handoffCustom reports
Operators save a cut of roster, hours, or leave they already run. Run it again next Monday. Optionally put it on a schedule. Not a warehouse or a dashboard studio.

A goal you set. A simple review from the manager of record. Not calibration or a talent suite.
Feature grid
Name, job, site, manager, documents, and status sit on a single file. The directory is how you find someone — not a Friday export from payroll.
Operators post a role. Applicants sit on that opening. You move them through a simple pipeline. That is a light ATS: openings and a board. Not sourcing, not a career site, not a full recruiting product.
Operators invite from the roster. When mail is configured, Peerroll sends the set-password link to the work email on the file. When mail is off, you copy the link and hand it over. This is invite and system mail — not a marketing list.
The tree is built from the manager on each employee file. Search a name, expand or collapse a branch, switch to a list on a phone, and click through to the record.
Clock in and out with device, source IP, and location on the punch. Exceptions stay visible to the manager who has to sign them.
Accrual rules, request workflows, and balances live on the person. Managers approve what they can see. Operators set a policy once.
Approved vacation and sick time land on a team calendar. Managers and operators see coverage for the week. Pending requests stay off the grid until someone signs them. Plan names and enrollments live on benefits.
Operators name the plans the company already offers. Enrollment sits on the employee record. That is light benefits admin — not shopping, not a carrier file, not open enrollment as a broker.

Operators save a cut of roster, hours, or leave they already run. Run it again next Monday. Optionally put it on a schedule. This is not a BI tool.
Offer letters, handbooks, I-9 packets, and signed acknowledgements attach to the employee. Access follows the same roles as the rest of the product.
The employee e-file is folders on the person: hire packet, I-9, policies, later uploads. Signed packets land there. That is the library. Not a company-wide document management suite.
People ops builds an onboarding packet from templates — offer letter, handbook, I-9 acknowledgement. The employee signs in Peerroll. The file shows sent, signed, or still open, with a trail.
Day-one access, equipment, tax forms, and a first-week plan should not depend on whoever remembered the wiki. Offboarding is the same problem in reverse.
Hire checklists assign work. Reminders fire when a task is due or late. That is the workflow: a list, an owner, a nudge. Not a full automation suite.
Last day writes a checklist. Collect the badge, cut the accounts, keep the file. Owners by role. Remaining work stays visible. This is a task list on exit — not a full IT offboarding product.

Employees can install Peerroll as a web app on the phone they already carry. The icon opens Clock, Time off, and Me. This is not a store listing — it is the product they already use, pinned.

Managers set a goal on the employee file. A simple review sits next to it. That is light performance — not calibration, not a nine-box, not a talent suite.
People ops sometimes needs a note that is not for the manager and not for the employee. Peerroll keeps that space on the file — behind a role.
Employees need to know how to punch and request leave. Managers need to know how to close a week. Peerroll puts a short tutorial and contextual help in the app.
Operators, managers, and employees do not share a login. Sensitive fields sit behind roles you can explain to counsel — and to the person whose file it is.

Help in the product
Employees punch and request leave. Managers close a week. The help they need should sit on that screen. Replay the tutorial when someone new starts.
How it works
01
Add employees or import a roster. Set sites, managers, and employment type first so everything else has a home. Invite from the file — email when mail is configured, copy-link when it is not.
02
PTO rules, who can see pay data, who can edit a punch. Operators keep the keys. Managers get the work they actually do.
03
Clock in. Request leave. Sign the onboarding packet on Me — from a phone if that is where they work. The record updates without a chase email from HR.
04
Managers close time and leave. Approved hours and PTO can export to the payroll system you already run. You can show counsel who changed a punch, from which IP, and when.
Who it is for
Peerroll is for growing US employers who need one place for people, time, and leave. It is not a payroll engine, not a recruiting suite, not a talent platform, not a carrier platform, not a clinic chart, and not a promise that we already run ten thousand global seats.
Dozens to a few hundred people. Enough complexity that a sheet fails, not so much that you want a two-year implementation.
An office, a yard, a warehouse, and remote roles. The clock has to work where the work is — with a trail.
One or two operators covering hiring, leave, and files. They need a record they can hand to the next person who sits down.
Approve hours, see who is out, get a daily or weekly digest when mail is configured, and a private birthday note. They should not need a second career as an administrator.
