HR without the excess.
HR software for small UK teams
Not an enterprise suite — the HR essentials, one flat price
Time off, hours, documents, and pay calculations for a small team. A flat monthly fee plus a price per user. No hidden fees.
3-day free trial, every feature, no credit card. Cancel anytime.
This replaces a spreadsheet for time off, hours, and who's in.
The jobs small UK teams actually do
These are jobs, not module names. Use them to replace spreadsheets and stop losing hours to HR admin.
One place for the team, instead of a spreadsheet
Org charts and employee profiles, so the team is not kept in a spreadsheet.
Holiday tracking that runs itself
Handles accruals, carryovers, and regional holidays.
Time tracking for hybrid teams, feeding payroll
Track attendance and hours with location awareness, including people who are not all in one office.
See pay before you run it, from hours already tracked
Salary and hourly calculations from hours already tracked. Mark a run paid when the numbers look right. This does not file PAYE, RTI, or pensions with HMRC.
HR documents in one place
Version history and an audit trail on the files you store.
The right people see the right records
Permissions per feature, so managers, admins, and employees only open the records they should.
Designed for a small UK team
Time off, hours, and people records where you expect them. No enterprise suite, and no extra modules you will not use.

Why we built Kei HR
Harry Thorpe
Director, Keiko Labs
I am Harry Thorpe. I direct Keiko Labs, the London company behind Kei HR. We incorporated in 2024 to build software for small teams, and Kei HR is the product.
Startups were the reason. A team of ten does not need an enterprise suite, a price you only get on the phone, or months of setup. They need time off, hours, documents, and pay calculations, at one flat price, instead of a spreadsheet.
