Hire, pay and grow your people, all in one place.
From the first job post to the last payslip, Islework HR runs your people, their time and their pay, in your brand and on every phone. Here is everything it does.

Everybody, where they fit, and everything on their record.
Dashboard and briefing
A morning briefing that tells each person what needs them today.
- A greeting and the day at a glance: policies to sign, courses in progress, documents shared
- A briefing card for what needs you, what was submitted today, what is coming up and who is celebrating
- Birthdays and work anniversaries, for the people who chose to share them
People and records
One record per person: details, papers, pay, kit and history.
- Profile, contact, emergency contact and birthday, with the person keeping their own up to date
- Custom profile fields such as NIS and tax numbers, licences or uniform sizes
- Tabs for documents, policies, training, time off, hours and check-in, pay, equipment and history
Org chart and directory
The org chart draws itself, and the directory finds anybody.
- Departments with their heads, inside subsidiaries if the group has several companies
- Locations with addresses, phones and a check-in fence on the map
- Pages, documents, courses and events assigned to any department, subsidiary or location
From the clock on the wall to the payslip on their phone.
Time off
Requests, balances, approvals and public holidays, done properly.
- Only the leave types each person is entitled to, with their balance shown before they send
- Weekends and public holidays are never counted
- Types that need no approval are booked straight away
Clock-in, kiosks and rosters
Wall tablets with PIN and badge, phone clock-in, rosters and hours.
- Check-in tablets paired with a QR code and installed as an app, with large text, high contrast and sound
- A personal PIN or a printed badge held up to the camera, with a photo taken at each punch
- Tablets keep taking punches when the internet drops and send them when it is back
Payroll and payslips
Pay runs from the clock, NIS and PAYE, and payslips on their phone.
- Salaried and hourly staff, with their hours and overtime eligibility
- Company rules for NIS, PAYE and overtime that every calculation uses
- Standing allowances on a person's pay that go on every run until ended
Contractors
Engagements, timesheets, milestones, invoices and payments.
- Rates by the hour, day, fixed fee or milestone, in Barbados or US dollars
- Budgets with alerts at 75, 90 and 100 percent
- Agreements from templates, signed by both sides in the portal
Find good people, bring them in well, and help them grow.
Recruitment and careers site
Post jobs, run the pipeline, and shortlist with AI.
- Job postings with department, location, type, salary and questions for applicants
- A pipeline from new to hired, with counts at every stage and time to hire
- AI assessment of each application with strengths and concerns
Onboarding, checklists and forms
Checklists for the first weeks, and forms that fill the record.
- Steps in order, assigned to people or departments, with progress saved as they go
- Watch who has finished and who is part way, and export it
- Reuse a checklist for every new starter, or for leavers and role changes
Training and courses
Courses with video, quizzes, due dates and certificates.
- Lessons with content, a video link or upload, and photos
- Quizzes with a pass mark and as many tries as people need
- Drip: lessons unlock in order
Performance, goals and reviews
Review cycles, probation reviews, goals and one-to-ones.
- Review cycles with your own questions, opened and closed on dates you set
- Self-reviews first, then the department head's review, rating and summary
- Reviews shared with the person, who reads, comments and acknowledges
The handbook, the policies, the news and the kit, in one place.
Policies, documents and e-signatures
Publish, share, sign and prove it, with every open recorded.
- Write in the editor or draft with AI, and mark it as one staff must acknowledge
- Acknowledgements recorded with the time, and asked for again when the policy changes
- A report of who has signed and who has not, with reminders in one click
Equipment and devices
The register of who holds what, signed for and returned.
- Every item with its tag, category, condition, cost and holder
- Issue from the list, from the item or as you add it
- Due-back dates, returns and condition recorded each time
Company pages, calendar and surveys
The handbook, events, news, wellness and anonymous surveys.
- Company pages with banners, video and photo galleries
- Pages for everybody, or a department, location or subsidiary
- Resources: the links and files people come back to
Your brand, your rules, AI that helps, and security that holds.
AI assistant
Ask anything about your records, and write with AI.
- Whose leave is waiting for me? Who has not signed the code of conduct?
- Answers from the person's own records and the areas they manage, never anybody else's
- How do I add a new starter? Step by step, from the help
Reports and audit
Reports to export, and a log of who changed what.
- Policy acknowledgements, training, checklists, leave, equipment and hours
- NIS schedule, PAYE remittance and year-end pay summary
- Sort any column, filter by department, and export
Caribbean country rules
Leave, notice, probation, hours and holidays from the law.
- Country presets that say what they are based on and when they were last reviewed
- Annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave and the notice ladder by length of service
- Probation, the standard week and overtime rates
Your brand and security
Your logo, your address, two-step sign-in and private records.
- Your logo, sign-in photo and accent colour across the portal and emails
- Your own address, or your own domain for the portal and the emails it sends
- Installs on phones as an app carrying your company's name
