CubeHR

HR software for retail

HR for the shop floor and the back office

Retail HR means managing shift workers, part-timers, seasonal staff, and multiple stores, often with no HR department. CubeHR gives retail businesses the tools to manage rotas, track attendance, handle holiday requests, and stay compliant across every location. All from mobile, because your managers are on the floor, not at a desk.

The reality

What makes HR hard in retail

The problems that come up in retail more than anywhere else.
  • Multi-store management

    Different stores, different teams, different schedules, all needing consistent HR processes and reporting.

  • Seasonal workforce scaling

    Christmas, summer sales, and promotional periods require rapid scaling up and down. Onboarding speed matters.

  • Part-time leave calculations

    Complex mix of full-time, part-time, and zero-hours contracts means leave entitlements vary widely and are easy to get wrong.

  • Floor-based workforce

    Shop floor staff don't sit at computers. HR tools need to work on mobile or shared tablets.

The answer

How CubeHR handles it

Each of these is a module included in the platform, not a bespoke build.
  1. Multi-location Management

    Manage multiple stores from one platform. Each store has its own team, schedules, and settings. Group reporting gives you the big picture.

  2. Shift Scheduling

    Build rotas per store with drag-and-drop. Template weekly patterns for consistency. Publish to staff phones instantly.

  3. Leave Management

    Automatic pro-rata calculations for part-time staff. Holiday requests from mobile. Managers approve in seconds.

  4. Onboarding

    Fast onboarding for seasonal hires. Pre-start document collection and induction checklists get new starters productive on day one.

  5. Kiosk Clock-in

    Tablet-based clock-in at the back of the store. QR scan or PIN entry. No personal devices needed on the shop floor.

Questions

Retail HR, answered

Can we manage zero-hours contracts?

Yes. CubeHR supports zero-hours, part-time, and full-time contracts. Leave entitlements are calculated correctly for each contract type.

How do we handle Christmas casual staff?

Use CubeHR's fast onboarding to get seasonal staff set up quickly. When the season ends, offboarding checklists ensure a clean exit. Rehire the same people next year with their records preserved.
