The difference

Why education teams use CubeHR for multi-company management

No more separate HR systems for each subsidiary. Manage everything from one dashboard with appropriate access controls per company.
Consolidated headcount, absence rates, and compliance status across the group. Board-level reporting that includes every entity.
Each subsidiary keeps its own policies, leave rules, and settings. Group management doesn't mean forced standardisation.

In practice

How education businesses actually use it

Illustrative examples of how it gets used, not customer case studies.

A franchise operator running 5 restaurant brands under one holding company was using different HR systems for each brand.
After acquiring a competitor, a company needed to integrate 60 new employees into their HR processes while keeping the acquired entity's policies during the transition.

The problem

Education HR problems that multi-company management solves

Term-time contracts
Leave entitlements for term-time-only staff require specific calculations that most HR systems can't handle.
Safeguarding compliance
DBS checks, safeguarding training, and Keeping Children Safe in Education requirements must be current for every staff member.
Multi-academy trusts
MATs need centralised HR across multiple schools while maintaining each school's autonomy.
Cover and supply management
Tracking staff absence and arranging cover is a daily challenge that affects teaching quality.

Questions

Multi-company Management FAQ

How many companies can we manage?

There's no limit. Whether you have 2 subsidiaries or 50, CubeHR scales with your group structure.

Can employees belong to multiple companies?

An employee belongs to one company at a time, but cross-company transfers preserve their full history. If someone works across more than one company, they can have separate profiles linked together.

Is multi-company an extra cost?

Multi-company management is included on Business and Enterprise plans. Pricing is based on total employees across the group, not per-company.
