What is employee management software?

Employee management software gives a small business one place to run its team - adding people, tracking salaries and payroll, managing leave, and assigning work - instead of scattering it across spreadsheets, chat, and paper forms.

TechoStop builds team management into the same platform you already use for clients and projects. You invite an employee by email, set their salary, currency, payout date, and leave rules, and they get their own dashboard for tasks, payslips, meetings, and leave requests. On your side, payroll and time off are handled from a single view.

For a growing freelancer or a small agency, it means you can bring on help and stay organized and professional without paying for a dedicated HR or payroll product.

Why employee management matters for agencies and growing teams

Your whole team in one place

People, roles, salaries, tasks, and leave all live next to your clients and projects - no separate HR tool to pay for.

Payroll without the spreadsheet

Track each person's salary, deductions, and payment status in one view, so paydays are accurate.

Pay a distributed team

Set each employee's salary in their own currency (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, or AUD) - ideal for remote or international teams.

Handle leave in a click

Employees request time off from their dashboard and you approve or reject it in one tap, with clear rules per leave type.

Give your team a real home

Each employee gets their own dashboard for tasks, payslips, meetings, and leave, so new hires feel looked after.

Role-based, private access

Employees see only their own tasks, payslips, and leave, while you keep full control of the business.

How to manage your team in TechoStop

  1. Open Employee Management and add a team member. Go to Employees in your dashboard - your hub for the whole team, with quick links to Payroll and Leave Requests. You'll see active employees and pending invitations. Click Add Employee to bring on someone new.
  2. Set their salary, currency, and leave rules. Enter the employee's name and email, their monthly salary and currency, the payout date, and how much leave they get per type. TechoStop uses these to drive payroll and time-off automatically.
  3. They accept and get their own dashboard. The employee receives an email invitation to accept. Once they join, they log into their own dashboard to see assigned tasks, payslips, meetings, and to request leave - seeing only what's relevant to them.
  4. Run payroll. The Payroll view shows every employee's salary, deductions, and net pay, with a clear paid or pending status. Track who's been paid each month so payday is organized and accurate.
  5. Approve leave requests. When an employee requests time off, it appears in Leave Requests with the type and dates. Approve or reject in one tap, and everyone stays on the same page about who's off and when.
