Otto HR for Small Business
HR without an HR department.
Otto HR replaces the spreadsheet-and-inbox stack with one simple tool: employee records, time off, payroll, and a portal that answers questions before they reach you.

Why small businesses
One tool instead of ten tabs.
01
No HR department required
Otto HR is simple enough for the owner or office manager to run, with no admin training and no consultants.
02
Everything in one place
Employee records, documents, time off and payroll live together, not across spreadsheets and inbox threads.
03
Fewer questions to answer
Employees check their own leave balances and the company policies in the portal, so the questions stop arriving by email.
What's inside
Simple where it should be.
A clean employee file
Positions, documents, and history for every employee, the single source your spreadsheet was trying to be.

Small business questions
Small teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't have a dedicated HR department. One person can run hiring, time off and payroll alongside their actual job.
Plans are per employee. Paid tiers pick up as the team grows, and current plans and limits are on the pricing page.
Yes. Employee records, documents and leave balances live in Otto HR, so the spreadsheet can be retired rather than maintained in parallel.
No. The portal is plain self-service: request leave, read the company policies, raise a request. Anything left over, Ask Otto answers from your own HR data.
