Setting up Officium HR for your business

Officium HR guide · Updated

Officium HR isn’t a blank system you have to configure yourself. You tell us how your business works, we set it up to match, and we check it with you before anyone else sees it.

1. Choose your version and add-ons

Pick Core, Enhanced or Ultimate and any add-ons in the quote builder. You can try each combination first in the demo: the version buttons and the Add-ons button in its top bar switch them on and off.

2. Fill in the setup questionnaire

Once you accept the quote, we email you a link to a short questionnaire. It also appears under Things to do in your client portal. It asks about:

  • your business name, logo and colours, and the web address you want
  • your holiday year, allowances and whether bank holidays come out of them
  • your sickness policy and return-to-work steps
  • your leave types and who approves what
  • the sections your staff should see
  • your checklists, forms, letter templates and who signs letters
  • a welcome message for everyone’s home page

Your answers save as you go, so you can stop and come back. You can upload your handbook, policies and letter templates in the same place.

3. We build it

We build your system from your answers. It has its own data store in the EU and nightly backups from day one.

4. Check it with us

We walk you through it and change anything that isn’t right. Then your staff records go in and your team is invited.

5. After you go live

Use the Suggest a change page in the system to ask for changes. We reply within 2 working days. Small changes are included every month (30 minutes on Core, 1 hour on Enhanced and Ultimate); anything bigger is priced first, and you decide.
