Features
The people-ops pieces operators run every week.
Directory, a light hiring board (openings and an applicant pipeline — not a recruiting suite), invite email, org chart, time with punch evidence, PTO, a shared calendar of approved leave, light benefits admin (plans and enrollments on the file — not a carrier platform), payroll hours handoff, custom reports you can save and run (optional schedule — not a BI tool), mobile employee self-service, an installable web app on the home screen, e-sign onboarding packets, a document library on the employee e-file, documents, onboarding task workflows with reminders, offboarding checklists (not a full IT suite), manager tools, manager digests (daily or weekly — email when mail is configured), light performance (goals and simple reviews — not a talent platform), HR-only notes, in-app help, and roles. Looking for one of those? Ask Peer Roll — site search in the corner — answers or opens the real page. This is the product — not a poster of a roadmap.

The time clock is included with Peer Roll. Teams can switch from BambooHR.
People directory
One employee record. Searchable. Owned.
Name, job, site, manager, documents, and status sit on a single file. The directory is how you find someone — not a Friday export from payroll.
Hiring board
Job openings and a pipeline — not a recruiting suite.
Operators post a role. Applicants sit on that opening. You move them through a simple pipeline. That is a light ATS: openings and a board. Not sourcing, not a career site, not a full recruiting product.
Invite email
A set-password link to the work email — or copy it when mail is off.
Operators invite from the roster. When mail is configured, Peer Roll sends the set-password link to the work email on the file. When mail is off, you copy the link and hand it over. This is invite and system mail — not a marketing list.
Org chart
Reporting lines you can see, not a slide from last quarter.
The tree is built from the manager on each employee file. Search a name, expand or collapse a branch, switch to a list on a phone, and click through to the record.
Time and attendance
A punch should carry evidence.
Clock in and out with device, source IP, and location on the punch. Exceptions stay visible to the manager who has to sign them.
PTO and time off
Leave that follows a policy, not a memory.
Accrual rules, request workflows, and balances live on the person. Managers approve what they can see. Operators set a policy once.
PTO calendar
Who is out, on a shared calendar of approved leave.
Approved vacation and sick time land on a team calendar. Managers and operators see coverage for the week. Pending requests stay off the grid until someone signs them. Plan names and enrollments live on benefits.
Benefits admin
Plans and enrollments on the file — not a carrier platform.
Operators name the plans the company already offers. Enrollment sits on the employee record. That is light benefits admin — not shopping, not a carrier file, not open enrollment as a broker.
Payroll hours handoff
Approved hours leave as a file, not a Friday reconstruction.
Managers close the week. Operators export approved hours and approved PTO to the payroll system the employer already uses, as a CSV. Peer Roll does not run payroll.
Custom reports
Save an ops report. Run it. Schedule it if you want.
Operators save a cut of roster, hours, or leave they already run. Run it again next Monday. Optionally put it on a schedule. This is not a BI tool.
Documents
Files on the record, not in a drive named HR_SHARE.
Offer letters, handbooks, I-9 packets, and signed acknowledgements attach to the employee. Access follows the same roles as the rest of the product.
Document library
Folders and uploads on the e-file — not a second drive.
The employee e-file is folders on the person: hire packet, I-9, policies, later uploads. Signed packets land there. That is the library. Not a company-wide document management suite.
E-sign packets
A packet you send. A signature in the app. Status on the file.
People ops builds an onboarding packet from templates — offer letter, handbook, I-9 acknowledgement. The employee signs in Peer Roll. The file shows sent, signed, or still open.
Onboarding and offboarding
Checklists that close because the work closed.
Day-one access, equipment, tax forms, and a first-week plan should not depend on whoever remembered the wiki. Offboarding is the same problem in reverse.
Onboarding workflows
Task checklists and reminders — not a second project tool.
Hire checklists assign work. Reminders fire when a task is due or late. That is the workflow: a list, an owner, a nudge. Not a full automation suite.
Offboarding checklists
A last-day list with owners — not an IT offboarding suite.
Last day writes a checklist. Collect the badge, cut the accounts, keep the file. Owners by role. Remaining work stays visible. This is a task list on exit — not a full IT offboarding product.
Mobile employee self-service
Clock, Time off, and Me — on a phone they will actually use.
Employees and managers get a phone bottom bar: Clock, Time off, and Me. Large punch controls, stacked PTO, and document or onboarding cards. Same record as the desk.
Installable app
Add it to the home screen. Clock, Time off, and Me from an icon.
Employees can install Peer Roll as a web app on the phone they already carry. The icon opens Clock, Time off, and Me. This is not a store listing — it is the product they already use, pinned.
Manager tools
Approvals, coverage, and birthday emails that stay private.
Managers get the queue they already run: time exceptions, leave requests, and who is out. Birthday dates stay on the file — not a company-wide calendar.
Manager digests
A daily or weekly summary of what still needs you — when mail is on.
Managers get a digest of pending approvals and open tasks. Daily or weekly. The email goes out when mail is configured. This is team attention mail — not a chat product, not a campaign.
Goals and reviews
Set a goal. Write a simple review — not a talent platform.
Managers set a goal on the employee file. A simple review sits next to it. That is light performance — not calibration, not a nine-box, not a talent suite.
HR-only notes
Private context that does not leak to the team view.
People ops sometimes needs a note that is not for the manager and not for the employee. Peer Roll keeps that space on the file — behind a role.
Help and tutorial
Guidance in the product, not a PDF nobody opens.
Employees need to know how to punch and request leave. Managers need to know how to close a week. Peer Roll puts a short tutorial and contextual help in the app.
Roles and access
Who can open a file is a product decision.
Operators, managers, and employees do not share a login. Sensitive fields sit behind roles you can explain to counsel — and to the person whose file it is.
People directory
One record per person. Searchable. Owned.
Name, legal data, job, site, manager, employment type, and status sit on a single employee file. The directory is how you find someone, not a weekly export from payroll.
- Reporting lines so approvals — and the org chart — know where to go.
- Sites and remote flags for time and PTO rules.
- Status that reflects hire, leave, and termination, not a cell color.

Hiring board
Job openings and a pipeline — not a recruiting suite.
Operators post a role. Applicants sit on that opening. You move them through a simple pipeline. That is a light ATS — openings and a board. Not sourcing, not a career site, not a full recruiting product.
- Openings you name — title, site, open or filled.
- Applicants on that opening. Stages you already run.
- Hired writes the employee file. Not a sourcing engine or career-site CMS.

Invite email
A set-password link to the work email — or copy it when mail is off.
Operators invite from the roster. When mail is configured, Peer Roll sends the set-password link to the work email on the file. When mail is off, you copy the link and hand it over. Invite and system mail — not a marketing product.
- Invite from the employee file, to the work email on that record.
- Mail on: Peer Roll sends the set-password link.
- Mail off: copy the same link. We do not claim every workspace already sends.

Org chart
Reporting lines you can see, not a slide from last quarter.
The tree is built from the manager on each employee file. Search a name, expand or collapse a branch, and click through to the record. On a phone, the same reporting lines are a list.
- Auto tree from reporting lines — no second roster.
- Search, expand/collapse, and chart or list views.
- Built for teams around a hundred people, not a global matrix.
Employee time tracking
Clock in with location and IP on the punch.
Peer Roll treats attendance as evidence. The time clock is included. Each punch stores time, device, source IP, and location when the browser or device can provide it. That matters for multi-site teams, field techs, and anyone who has sat through a wage-hour review with a half-complete log.
- In and out punches, breaks, and manager exceptions.
- Timesheets that close against the employee record.
- Site match when you define a yard, floor, or warehouse.
- On a phone, the same punch is a large Clock control in mobile self-service.

PTO management
Leave that follows a policy, not a memory.
Accrual rules, request workflows, and balances live on the person. Managers approve what they can see. Operators adjust a policy once, not in twelve calendars. Switching from BambooHR? The time clock is included alongside PTO.
- Vacation, sick, and unpaid codes you define.
- Pending hours that do not double-count against a close.
- History that stays after the manager changes.
- Stacked PTO on the phone Time off tab.
- Approved leave also paints the shared team calendar.
PTO calendar
Who is out, on a shared calendar of approved leave.
Approved vacation and sick time land on a team calendar. Managers and operators see coverage for the week. Pending requests stay off the grid until someone signs them. Plan names and enrollments live on benefits.
- Approved leave only — pending stays in the queue.
- Filter by team, site, or the people you manage.
- No birthdays, medical notes, or plan elections on the grid.

Benefits admin
Plans and enrollments on the file — not a carrier platform.
Operators name the plans the company already offers. Enrollment sits on the employee record. That is light benefits admin — not shopping, not a carrier file, not open enrollment as a broker.
- Company plans you name — medical, dental, vision, retirement, or your codes.
- Enrollment on the file: enrolled, waived, employee-only, or family.
- Not a carrier platform: no plan shopping, no broker marketplace, no EDI file.
Payroll hours handoff
Approved hours leave as a file, not a Friday reconstruction.
Managers close the week. Operators export approved hours and approved PTO to the payroll system you already use, as a CSV. Peer Roll does not calculate tax, run deposits, or replace that system.
- Approved hours after the manager closes the week.
- Approved PTO in the same CSV. Pending time stays out.
- A CSV for the payroll system you already use.
- Saved hours or leave reports you run again live on custom reports.

Custom reports
Save an ops report. Run it. Schedule it if you want.
Operators save a cut of roster, hours, or leave they already run. Run it again next Monday. Optionally put it on a schedule. This is not a BI tool — no warehouse, no dashboard studio, no ad-hoc query language.
- Save the cut. Run it without rebuilding the export.
- Optional schedule — weekly hours, Monday coverage.
- Same records as time, PTO, and the hours handoff. Not a second analytics product.
Documents
Files on the record, not in a drive named HR_SHARE.
Offer letters, handbooks, I-9 packets, and signed acknowledgements attach to the employee. Access follows the same roles as the rest of the product. We do not treat a shared folder as document control.
- Templates for new-hire packets.
- Acknowledgement tracking so you know who signed.
- Separation from the public birthday list and the all-hands chat.
- Employees open their own files from the Me tab on a phone.
- Folders, later uploads, and where signed packets sit live on the document library.

- Folders you name on the employee file.
- Uploads to the person, not a shared drive named HR_SHARE.
- Signed packets sit in the same folders. Not a DMS, retention engine, or version tree.

E-sign packets
A packet you send. A signature in the app. Status on the file.
People ops builds an onboarding packet from templates — offer letter, handbook, I-9 acknowledgement. The employee types a name or draws a signature on Me. Status sits on the same record: sent, signed, or still open.
- Create and send from Packets. Employees sign under Me.
- Typed name or canvas signature — in the product.
- Status on the file: sent, signed, or still open.

Onboarding and offboarding
Checklists that close because the work closed.
Day-one access, equipment, tax forms, and a first-week plan should not depend on whoever remembered the wiki. Offboarding is the same problem in reverse: collect the laptop, cut the accounts, keep the file.
- Task owners by role: manager, IT, people ops, the employee.
- Due dates that follow the start date or last day.
- A remaining-work view so nothing hides in email.
- Remaining onboarding cards on the phone Me tab.
- The opening they were hired from lives on hiring.
- Reminders when a task is due or late live on onboarding workflows.
- The last-day list itself lives on offboarding — a checklist, not an IT suite.
Onboarding workflows
Task checklists and reminders — not a second project tool.
Hire checklists assign work. Reminders fire when a task is due or late. That is the workflow: a list, an owner, a nudge. Not a full automation suite — no branching builder, no integration marketplace.
- Owners by role: manager, IT, people ops, the employee.
- Reminders when work is coming due or already late.
- Remaining-work view on the same employee file.

Offboarding checklists
A last-day list with owners — not an IT offboarding suite.
Last day writes a checklist. Collect the badge, cut the accounts, keep the file. Owners by role. Remaining work stays visible. This is a task list on exit — not identity-provider deprovisioning, a device wipe, or an asset inventory.
- Separation checklist on the same employee file as hire.
- Owners by role. Due dates that follow last day.
- Remaining-work view so collection and access cuts stay visible.
Mobile employee self-service
Clock, Time off, and Me on a phone.
Employees and managers share a phone bottom bar. Clock is a large punch control with the same location and IP trail. Time off stacks balances. Me holds document and onboarding cards on their file.
- Bottom bar: Clock, Time off, Me — not a squeezed desktop layout.
- Stacked PTO so a thumb can request leave.
- Same employee record as the directory. Approvals stay in the manager queue.

Installable app
Add it to the home screen. Clock, Time off, and Me from an icon.
Employees install Peer Roll as a web app from the browser they already use. The icon opens Clock, Time off, and Me. Not a store listing. Not a second native app to keep updated.
- Add to Home Screen from the signed-in browser.
- Same three tabs as mobile self-service. Same employee record.
- Same punch trail: device, source IP, and location.
Manager tools
Approvals, coverage, and birthday emails that stay private.
Managers get the queue they already run: time exceptions, leave requests, and who is out. Peer Roll also sends a birthday digest to the manager of record. Dates stay on the employee file — not a company-wide calendar. The daily or weekly summary of approvals and open tasks lives on manager digests. Goals and simple reviews live on performance.

Manager digests
A daily or weekly summary of what still needs you — when mail is on.
Managers get a digest of pending approvals and open tasks. Daily or weekly. When mail is configured, that summary goes to the manager of record. When mail is off, they still work the queue in the product. Team attention mail — not a chat tool, not a campaign.
- Pending time exceptions, leave requests, and open tasks — same queue.
- Email when mail is configured. We do not claim every workspace already sends.
- HR-only notes stay off the digest. Approvals happen in the product.
Goals and reviews
Set a goal. Write a simple review — not a talent platform.
Managers set a goal on the employee file. A simple review sits next to it. That is light performance — not calibration, not a nine-box, not a talent suite.
- Goals on the file — a title, an owner, a due date.
- A written check-in from the manager of record. Dated. On the same record.
- Not a talent platform: no calibration, no nine-box, no stack rank.

HR-only notes
Private context that does not leak to the team view.
People ops sometimes needs a note that is not for the manager and not for the employee. Peer Roll keeps that space on the file, behind a role. A simple review is not this note. Reviews live on performance.
- Visible to operators you grant — not the default manager view.
- Invisible in the employee’s own profile.
- Separate from manager digests and public coverage lists.
- A simple review is not an HR-only note — reviews live on performance.

Help

Clock

Help and tutorial
Guidance in the product, not a PDF nobody opens.
A short tutorial on first login. Contextual help on punch, leave, documents, and approvals. Replay it when a new supervisor starts. People ops should not re-teach the clock every Monday. That help lives in the product. For this marketing site, use Ask Peer Roll — site search that answers or opens a page. It does not draft or send email.
Roles and access
Who can open a file is a product decision.
Operators, managers, and employees do not share a login. Sensitive fields (compensation, medical notes, government IDs) sit behind roles. See roles and access for the day-to-day split, and Security for encryption, access, and backups.
- Least-privilege defaults. Extra access is granted, not assumed.
- Sensitive actions like pay changes, terminations and sign-in tokens are recorded with who and when.
- Each person gets their own login.
