HR software for IT companies
Timesheets against real projects, leave requests with balances and a planner, onboarding documents generated and signed, and every company laptop on the record it belongs to.
Where Growee fits, and where it does not
Growee is general HR software, not an HR-IT-payroll platform. It does not run payroll or file employment tax, and it does not manage devices: laptops live in an asset register with a status, a purchase value and the person holding each one, but there is no MDM and no remote wipe. Rippling covers payroll and device management, and Personio is the large European suite (as of August 2026). Growee holds the office record: hours per project, leave requests and balances, documents with expiration dates, and e-signature.
Three things this actually replaces
Usually a billable-hours spreadsheet, leave requests in chat threads, and an onboarding checklist that lives in someone's head.
Hours land against the client project, not a blank timesheet
A timesheet week is one row per project or task, hours per day, with day and week views and a per-employee switch for whoever fills it in. Managers approve the week.
- Reports by week, month, quarter or year, and by project, task or team
- Project budgets read the same logged hours: budget versus actuals, margin, and forecast
- Invoices generate from the tracked time
Project budgets and invoicing are on the paid plan; time tracking, approvals and time reports are not. See time tracking →
Leave requests stop living in chat threads
Requests go in with dates and type, the requester sees the days left after this one, and the answer stays on the record. Public holidays for 99 countries come from the dataset behind our national holidays pages: check United States, Germany or Canada for 2026.
- Request, approve, reject or cancel, with every state in one list
- Balances by year and leave type
- A planner with national holidays, weekends and personal leave, and presence sheets from the same records
Onboarding paperwork generates itself, then gets signed
A new hire's file is a contract, an NDA, a GDPR agreement, and the addenda that follow every rate change. In Growee each is a document type you define, filed on the person with an expiration date.
- Templates fill in employee data and can auto-generate the moment a new employee is added
- Expiration alerts by email before the date passes, with tags and filters on the list
- E-signature by link, no account for the signer, and the signed file stays on the record with a fingerprint tied to its contents
E-signature is on the paid plan; documents and expiration alerts are not. See document management →

Rippling statements come from rippling.com/solutions/industries/technology and rippling.com/pricing; Personio statements from personio.com/industries/technology/ and personio.com/pricing/ — all read as of August 2026. The onboarding and productivity figures in the Rippling and Personio columns are those vendors' own marketing claims, reproduced as claims rather than as verified results. “Not stated” means those vendor pages do not mention the item — not that the product lacks it; check each vendor's own pages before you decide. Growee figures reflect our live plans.

What is the best HR software for IT companies?
It depends on whether you want HR, IT and payroll from one vendor. Rippling is built for that: payroll, employment tax registration and device management in one system. It publishes no price, so plan for a quote (as of August 2026). Personio publishes a starting price of €7.60 per employee per month on its Core plan and is aimed at European tech companies (as of August 2026). Growee is the pick when the daily problem is hours against projects, leave approvals and balances, onboarding documents and who has which laptop: €2 per person per month, free for up to 3 people. Growee does not run payroll and does not manage devices.
Can Growee track company laptops and equipment?
Yes, as an asset register: each laptop or monitor is a record with a name, a status (available, in use, maintenance, decommissioned or lost), a purchase value and the employee holding it, so offboarding starts from a list rather than a memory. Be clear on the limit though: this is not device management. Growee does not enrol, configure or remotely wipe machines; if you need MDM, keep your MDM. See asset management.
How much does HR software for an IT company cost?
Growee is free for up to 3 people, then €2 per person per month or €20 per person per year. Personio publishes a Core plan starting from €7.60 per employee per month, with higher tiers quoted (as of August 2026). Rippling publishes no figure at all — its pricing page asks which services you need and returns a custom quote (as of August 2026). Any per-user price you see for Rippling on a review site did not come from Rippling.
