Mobile-first for venue and frontline teams

Give casual staff, new starters, and venue managers a simple mobile experience for onboarding, document uploads, e-signatures, policy acknowledgements, and HR tasks. No inbox chasing, no paper forms, and no need for staff to be at a desk.

Built for fast hiring and shift readiness

Automate onboarding flows by role, venue, brand, or employment type so casual, part-time, full-time, and seasonal staff complete the right forms, contracts, payroll details, policies, and certificates before their first shift. Managers can see what is missing, and who is ready to roster.

Hospitality compliance without the admin chaos

Keep contracts, policies, licences, RSA or food safety certificates, right-to-work documents, and other employee records organised in one place. Automated reminders and venue-level reporting help head office and managers spot gaps before they become operational headaches.

  • What employee records can be stored in Worknice?

    This is configurable, so any employee record can be stored with multiple views such as tables, employee profiles and directories. Worknice can centralise employee information, contracts, signed policies, licences, certificates, payroll details, emergency contacts, right-to-work documents, and other HR records. This gives HR, payroll, and venue managers a single source of truth instead of scattered spreadsheets and files.
