DART is our innovative HR product designed to support managers with extensive tools to record and manage staff.
Within DART we cater for all parts of HR management.
……to name but a few!
We have highlighted some of the features in DART, take a look and view how they may benefit you and your business. If you require further information then email us at support@cirrusit.com to arrange for an online overview of our HR software.
DART drives payroll which negates the need for the duplication of data entry.
As well as holding all the basic HR details you would expect in a HR product, such as Address details, Contact information and Personal details, we can store data that your payroll function may require, items such as P45 information and Pay details. Then, when the time is right, the DART extract process can take the information, extract it into a file in the correct format to feed a SAGE ® or STAR ® payroll system then mark and store the data in history.
There are strict rules on who you can employ at your workplace & for how long. Within DART we take you through the steps required to ensure you follow the correct legislation that resides within the UK, for your new starters, as well as your existing staff.
For each new starter you place into DART, you will be prompted for you to check their eligibility to work at your organisation. We can accommodate all the information and evidence you have (like scanned copies of their passport) to ensure you have a legitimate ‘excuse!’ in employing them should you be investigated by the UK Borders agency.
Any employee’s with a limited right to work in the UK will be flagged for re-checking before the anniversary of the re check. This is a real benefit to having HR Software automate reminders to keep you compliant.
Verify that your staff are eligible to work for you. Re-check alerts all built into DART.

The dashboard is a self-service style module that allows you to manage your holiday booking process as well as your team. It is a great feature for line managers who process holiday requests for their team. You can view your team’s calendar, authorise holiday requests and see any activities (whether planned or unplanned) for your staff you can also see any broadcasted messages that have been sent.
You can also see company defined messages that are broadcast by the DART administrators – this could be items such as a reminder of a company meeting, cut off date for Payroll or the date of the Christmas party.
You can define a time period for each message too!

You can also help you request any further holiday that you may wish to book. Hopefully, making the process quick and easy for everybody.
If you are a manager/team leader and you look after a team, it will show you your team’s holiday summary, including leave that is taken, booked and any unauthorised holiday requests that could exist.

To enable you to make the judgement call about authorising the holiday we have created an function within the dashboard that loads a calendar view of your team. Using the powerful list all function it produces a calendar of ‘Your team’
