Wola for HR

A staff loan scheme HR can stand behind

HR knows who works for the organisation and who does not. Wola puts that knowledge where the rules can use it, and keeps HR's step in each loan short and on the record.

What HR see first

“Is my people-data healthy, and what is waiting at my stage?”

Keep the staff list honest

Who may borrow, and how much, depends on the records behind it. Wola helps HR keep them healthy.

  • Import employees from a CSV. The import checks every row first and changes nothing if any row is wrong. Importing again updates people by employee number.
  • One table to fill in pay, probation status and work emails, for everyone, with the empty ones highlighted.
  • A list of what is missing or needs a decision: no pay on file, a temporary employee number, no work email, a line manager that matches nobody. Each has a link to fix it.
  • Every change is recorded with who made it and the old and new value.

Probation and warnings decide who can borrow

The facts HR holds are the facts the rules read.

  • Probation and final-warning status are on each record, and your loan rules can block on them.
  • Nobody can borrow until their pay is entered and they are marked past probation. Everyone starts as on probation, the safe default.

Your step in the approval chain

HR confirms what only HR knows, then passes the request on.

  • Loans waiting for HR to vouch for employment are listed in your own queue.
  • A line manager sees only their own team's requests, so HR's step is not duplicated by guesswork.
  • Every decision is recorded with who made it and when.

Leavers, without forgotten balances

  • Marking someone as a leaver records the exit date.
  • That month's deductions file asks for the whole balance, or your organisation handles it by hand: you choose the exit policy.
  • Finance and HR are both told when someone leaves owing money.

Getting everyone in

  • Invite people in bulk from the staff list. People who have left are held back.
  • Each person chooses their own password from a link in their invitation. Nobody is sent a password.
  • Two-step sign-in can be required for the roles you choose.
  • Everyone accepts the organisation's privacy notice before using Wola, recorded per person and version.
