Greenshades Human Resources
Keep accurate record of every worker
Onboard new hires and catch expired certifications, stale addresses, and missing documents before they cause payroll errors, tax corrections, or audit findings.
The platform
Less chasing, less checking, less re-entering
-
Onboarding
Get new hires ready, faster
Move new hires through forms, withholding, direct deposit, I-9, E-Verify, and other required steps in one digital onboarding flow. Configure workflows by position so each employee gets the right process. -
Workforce management
Understand your workforce
Understand your workforce without piecing together information from multiple systems. Because HR and payroll share the same underlying data, you're working from the same employee record across the platform. -
Employee self-service
Empower your employees
Give employees easy access to their pay records, tax forms, personal information, HR documents, and direct deposit from any device. You decide which changes happen automatically and which require approval.
-
Admin rights
Equip your managers
Give managers full view of their direct reports and put approvals closer to the people making day-to-day decisions. Configure and set user access controls for multi-level oversight.
-
Certifications
Track certifications easily
Track employee certifications, store compliance records, and manage renewal requirements in the same system as the rest of your employee data, without relying on a separate spreadsheet.
-
Document storage
Centralize HR documents
Centralize employee documents instead of tracking down files across inboxes, folders, and disconnected systems. Store unlimited HR documents, including fillable forms, alongside the employee record. -
Integrated systems
Connect HR and payroll
Update employee information once, and it's done everywhere. Approved HR changes flow directly into payroll and across the platform so information stays accurate throughout your workflows.
-
Communication
Reach your employees
Send company-wide communications through email and the employee portal, giving administrators another way to get important information in front of employees.
Built to fit in
Workforce management that fits your stack
Our integrations cover the major ERPs, ATS, time & attendance tools, and more. If your setup is more particular, our open API lets your team connect anything else. Adding Greenshades never means replacing the systems you depend on.
The record everything reads
HR data doesn't stay in HR
A wrong address becomes a wrong withholding. A missed status change becomes a wrong paycheck. An expired certification becomes someone on a shift they shouldn't be on. Greenshades keeps the record in the same system that acts on it.
Payroll
Run complex, multi-state payroll in-house, with hours, deductions, and new-hire details already in the run so every check is right the first time.
- Direct deposit and printed checks
- Blended overtime and shift differentials
- Garnishments managed right in the pay run
Time & attendance
Track hours across locations, shifts, and schedules, with overtime and differentials calculated automatically and approved time ready for every pay run.
- Clock in by web, kiosk, or mobile app
- PTO requests, approvals, and accruals
- Location-specific overtime and break rules
Benefits
Employees enroll and update coverage through self-service, and every election carries through to deductions and ACA reporting without re-entry.
- Open enrollment and life-event changes
- Real-time access to benefit options
- ACA dashboard tracks eligibility all year
Tax & compliance
Federal, state, and local taxes are calculated, filed, and deposited in every jurisdiction your people work in, with alerts before each deadline.
- 941, SUTA, and local quarterly returns
- Reciprocity applied across state lines
- Withholding applied automatically by work location
Year-end forms
W-2s, 1099s, and 1095-Cs are generated from the data you ran all year and verified before filing, so January isn't a rebuild.
- Print, mail, and e-file in one workflow
- Employees get forms on web or mobile
- E-file yourself or have us submit for you
Don't take our word for it

Questions we get about HR
Greenshades HR includes employee onboarding, employee self-service, manager tools and delegation, certifications management, administrator reporting, and company communications — all connected to payroll and benefits in a single platform. Changes made in HR propagate automatically across the system without manual re-entry.
Yes. Greenshades onboarding workflows can be completed from any location before an employee's first day. The process includes I-9 documentation, optional E-Verify, federal and state withholding form completion, and direct deposit setup. Workflows are configurable per position, and basic information can be imported from supported applicant tracking systems.
Yes. Greenshades includes employee self-service that allows employees to update their profile, address, contact information, and direct deposit details without contacting HR. Updates can be configured for automatic acceptance or routed to a manager or administrator for review before taking effect. Approved changes propagate instantly through payroll, benefits, and reporting.
Greenshades HR and payroll share the same underlying data. When an employee change is approved — an address update, a direct deposit change, a new benefit election — it flows automatically through the entire platform, including payroll calculations, manager dashboards, org charts, and reporting. No duplicate entry or reconciliation between systems required.
Yes. Greenshades certifications management allows organizations to track, manage, and renew employee certifications and compliance records. The system is configurable to industry-specific requirements, employees can update their own records, and administrators have full visibility into certification status across the workforce.
Yes. Managers have a 360-degree view of their direct reports, including the ability to review and approve requests, edit employee information, and delegate management responsibilities to other employees. Delegation supports assistant managers, leave coverage, and multi-level oversight structures.
Greenshades imports basic employee information from supported applicant tracking systems during onboarding, cutting manual data entry at the point of hire. For a current list of supported ATS integrations, contact the Greenshades team.
