SofterHR — radically simple, automated, open‑formula HR

Automation‑first

Onboarding, access, payroll, compliance: event‑driven workers do the work so humans don’t have to.

Open by design

Compensation logic, access policies, and workflows live in plain text, versioned and auditable.

Privacy‑minimal

Store only what’s needed (tax ID, bank). Health/benefits and sensitive data stay with trusted partners.

How SofterHR works

Text‑first policies

YAML/Markdown drive the system: roles, access, compensation, and workflows. Employees can recompute pay locally.

/policies/compensation/levels.yaml
/policies/workflows/onboarding.yaml
/policies/access/roles.yaml
/employees/emp_abc/profile.yaml

Two data stores

Policy Store — public logic, append‑only history
PII Vault — minimal regulated fields, field‑level encryption, audit logs

Identity via Azure AD (SCIM/JIT). Least‑privilege by default.

Open‑formula compensation (with equations)

Skill‑based pay

TotalPay = Base(role_level) + Σ skill_bonus(level)
subject to: Σ skill_bonus ≤ cap_pct × Base

Skill premiums are public; verification via peers/credentials/LMS. Caps keep things predictable.

Impact bonus (forecast‑aware)

PerfBonus = (α·ForecastAcc + (1−α)·ImpactRatio) × CoFactor  
ForecastAcc ∈ [0,1]; ImpactRatio = Actual ÷ Estimated;  
CoFactor = clamp(1 + RevGrowthYoY, 0.8, 1.2)

Teams maintain goal files with estimated impact; the system compares with actuals to reward reliable execution and foresight.

Goal files (lightweight, auditable)

team: Growth
quarter: Q4 2025
goals:
  - name: Launch referral program
    owner: emp_123
    est_revenue_impact: 200000 # EUR
    est_confidence: 0.7
  - name: Improve onboarding funnel
    owner: emp_124
    est_revenue_impact: 100000
    est_confidence: 0.6

At period close, SofterHR pulls finance/BI, computes forecast accuracy & impact ratio, then applies the open bonus formula.

FAQ

Is this really “no human in the loop”?

Yes for onboarding/offboarding/pay computations. People remain accountable for hiring, performance reviews, and exceptions.
