People
HRIS and employee records
Autessa Homebase is a human resources information system (HRIS) that keeps one record per person, with a directory and org chart everyone can use and private details only HR sees.
Employee records and profiles
Autessa Homebase keeps one employee record per person, showing colleagues the directory side and keeping personal details, pay and reviews private.
Custom fields with field-level privacy
Autessa Homebase lets HR add custom fields to people records and choose who can see each field, and the server never returns a value a viewer may not see.
Employee directory
Autessa Homebase includes a company directory everyone can search and filter, with shareable filtered links and cards on phones.
Interactive org chart
Autessa Homebase draws a live org chart by manager or by department, shows open roles, and lets HR drag someone to a new manager with an effective date.
Effective-dated job changes
Autessa Homebase records every job change with the date it takes effect; future-dated changes apply themselves on the day, and everything lands in job history.
Add and import people
Autessa Homebase adds people one at a time with a guided page that also starts onboarding, or many at once from a CSV with a preview before anything is saved.

Autessa Homebase models departments, teams, locations, job levels and open positions, so the org chart, holidays and promotions all follow the same structure.

PTO and leave management
Autessa Homebase handles PTO and leave management end to end: policies that accrue, requests that count working days, approvals, a who’s-out calendar and calendar sync.
PTO policies, accruals and balances
Autessa Homebase supports annual grants, monthly accrual and unlimited PTO, with carryover, caps, an append-only ledger and balances recalculated every night.

Autessa Homebase counts the working days in every time-off request, shows the balance after, and routes it to the manager or HR with who else is out.

Autessa Homebase shows a who’s-out calendar for the whole company or one team, with dates for everyone, the type only where allowed, and never the reason.
Company and location holidays
Autessa Homebase keeps company and location holiday calendars that every time-off request respects, with a one-click year of US federal holidays.
Google Calendar and Outlook sync
Autessa Homebase puts a blocking out-of-office event on your own calendar and a non-blocking invite on your team’s, from your own Google or Outlook account.
Performance
Performance management
Autessa Homebase runs performance reviews, calibration, OKRs, 1:1s and feedback in one place, so every review has the goals and feedback behind it.
Performance review cycles

Pay
Promotions, pay and benefits
Autessa Homebase manages promotions, compensation bands and benefits with pay kept private by default: dashboards show counts, never amounts.
Promotion management
Autessa Homebase writes every promotion case against the job ladder, routes it through an approval chain, and tells the person only when HR applies it.
