HR, time and project work in one place.
People & Work keeps every employee record, leave request, timesheet and project on the same system — so approvals, cover, capacity and invoices all start from the same facts.
- Built for Indian companies
- Two-step sign-in
- Tamper-evident audit log
One record
Change it once. Every module sees it.
Most companies keep HR in one tool, timesheets in another and projects in a spreadsheet. Here they read the same person.
- Leave knows about projects. Approvers see who else is away and who can cover, ranked by free time on those exact days.
- Bookings know about leave. Capacity drops on approved leave and holidays, so plans stop promising hours nobody has.
- Invoices know about time. Approved hours lock, and invoice lines come from them at each person's rate card.

Security
Built so you can show your auditor.
Who did what is recorded in a chain no one can quietly edit. Who can see what is decided by role, reporting line and unit.
Two-step sign-in
Authenticator codes, and a company rule to require them.
Tamper-evident audit log
Each entry carries the hash of the one before.
Encrypted files
Documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage.
Scoped access
Seven roles, per-person grants, and private fields only HR sees.
Private test
Try it with a demo company, then tell us what's missing.
We're inviting a small group of HR people — especially anyone who has used another HR system. You get a role in Northstar Studio, a demo company full of sample people and projects, and you can set up your own empty company too.
