Question 1

What is Sahaj HR?

Accepted Answer

Sahaj HR is a modern, all-in-one HR platform that brings your people processes into a single connected system — employee records, attendance and leave, documents, payroll, onboarding, performance, assets and workforce analytics. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and disconnected tools, you manage the whole employee journey, from hire to retire, in one place. It’s built for growing businesses that want less admin and more time for their people.

Question 2

Is Sahaj-HR suitable for companies of all sizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sahaj HR is designed for small and medium-sized businesses, growing companies, enterprises and staffing agencies alike — particularly those with real-world complexity such as multiple branches, shift-based teams, or compliance-heavy operations. Our plans scale with you, so you get the right capabilities whether you’re a lean team of ten or a multi-branch organisation of hundreds. We support businesses across the UK, UAE and India.

Question 3

Why choose Sahaj HR?

Accepted Answer

Because Sahaj HR brings your entire HR operation into one calm, connected system rather than a patchwork of tools. It’s tailored to how your business actually works, quick to set up with support included, secure and compliant by design, and backed by a team that stays with you as you grow. Teams choose Sahaj HR to spend less time on admin and more time on their people — with reliable data they can trust for payroll, staffing, attendance and performance.

Question 4

What can Sahaj HR do?

Accepted Answer

Sahaj HR covers the full range of everyday HR work through a set of connected modules: HR and people management (employee records, org structure, documents), attendance and leave (digital check-in, shift management, approvals), payroll processing, document management with expiry alerts, performance and reviews, asset and PPE management, events and announcements, and real-time analytics and dashboards. Everything shares the same data, so you enter information once and it flows through the system.

Question 5

Does Sahaj HR handle payroll?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sahaj HR includes payroll processing designed to work across the UK and UAE, with automated calculations, salary slips and compliance-ready reports. Because payroll draws on the same attendance and employee data as the rest of the platform, you reduce the double-entry and manual checks that cause most payroll errors.

Question 6

Can Sahaj HR manage documents and expiry dates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and it’s one of our most valued features. Sahaj HR stores contracts, certifications and identity documents centrally, and sends automatic alerts before key documents such as visas and certifications expire, so you never miss a renewal. It also keeps a full audit trail for compliance.

Question 7

Does Sahaj HR have an AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sahaj HR includes an AI assistant that can answer everyday policy and how-to questions, flag documents that are about to expire, and help surface workforce insights — reducing routine questions to your HR team while keeping humans in charge of decisions that matter.

Question 8

Can Sahaj HR handle multiple branches and locations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sahaj HR is built for multi-location teams — our live deployment manages hundreds of employees across multiple UK branches. You can track attendance, shifts, holidays, documents and assets across all your sites while keeping each location’s context clear.

Question 9

How customisable is Sahaj HR?

Accepted Answer

Sahaj HR is bespoke by design. Rather than forcing your business into a fixed template, we configure the platform around your structure — your branches, departments, job titles, cost centres, shift patterns, approval chains and compliance rules. This tailoring is part of setup and is a key reason teams adopt it so readily.

Question 10

How much does Sahaj HR cost?

Accepted Answer

Sahaj HR is priced per employee per month, so you pay for the team you have today and the cost scales naturally as you grow. We offer plans to suit different team sizes — from lean HR teams moving off spreadsheets, to growing teams needing deeper automation, to enterprises with custom requirements. For an exact quote tailored to your team size and needs, book a free demo or contact our team.

Question 11

What kind of support does Sahaj HR offer to help with setup and onboarding?

Accepted Answer

Setup support is included with every plan. Rather than handing you a login and leaving you to it, we guide you through a structured rollout: a discovery session to understand your needs, configuration of the platform around your structure, secure migration of your existing data, training for your team, and close support around go-live. Enterprise customers also receive dedicated migration planning and an account manager.

Question 12

How long does it take to set up Sahaj HR?

Accepted Answer

Most growing businesses are up and running within about four weeks. Teams coming off spreadsheets with straightforward needs can often go live faster — sometimes in under two weeks — while larger, multi-branch organisations with complex compliance needs may take a little longer. We agree a clear timeline with you during discovery.

Question 13

Do we have to migrate our own data?

Accepted Answer

No. Our team handles the migration for you. You provide your existing files — employee lists, documents and records in whatever format you have them — and we take care of mapping, cleaning, importing and verifying, so you start with accurate, reliable data.

Question 14

How does Sahaj-HR help with compliance and data tracking?

Accepted Answer

Sahaj HR is built to make compliance easier and more reliable. It records documents and expiry dates centrally, sends automatic renewal alerts before deadlines, enforces role-based permissions, and keeps a full audit trail of documents, renewals and approvals. This means you can stay ahead of visa and certification expiries, control who sees sensitive data, and demonstrate compliance quickly if a regulator, client or auditor asks.

Question 15

How is my data secured?

Accepted Answer

Security is built into the platform from the ground up. Sahaj HR is GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 aligned and SSL secured, with encryption and role-based access controls so sensitive information is only visible to the people who genuinely need it. We treat the privacy of your people’s data as a core responsibility, not an afterthought.

Question 16

How do we get help if we have a problem?

Accepted Answer

You can reach our in-house support team by email at info@altswitch.ae or by phone on +971 4 341 4704. Employees with account or personal-data questions should start with their own organisation’s HR or admin team, while HR administrators can contact Sahaj HR support directly. See our Login Help page for quick answers to common sign-in issues.

Question 17

Can we cancel our subscription, and what happens to our data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel in line with the terms of your plan; your account stays active until the end of your current billing period, and if you cancel during your free trial you won’t be charged. Your data belongs to you — if you choose to leave, we’ll help you export your records so you keep everything you need, in line with our terms and applicable data-protection law.
