JanalixHR document workflows
Governed HR workflow and compliance

The governed layer for employee document approvals, sign-off, and retrieval.

Janalix gives HR teams one controlled workspace for employee document workflow, approvals, signatures, and retrieval, with authenticator-backed access and verified sign-off for sensitive actions. Use it alongside your core HRIS when employee data already lives elsewhere but document workflow, evidence, and retrieval still need a clearer home. Start free with up to 10 employees, then expand when the workflow becomes real enough to justify a broader rollout. Later, add bounded AI document analysis that stays advisory, reviewable, and tied to document text.

Why teams switch

Built for teams that already have an HRIS or employee system of record but still need a calmer, more defensible document workflow around it.

For small HR teams

Start with a workflow serious enough to survive buyer scrutiny.

Use the free workspace to prove out approvals, sign-off, retrieval, and access control instead of stitching together folders, inboxes, reminders, or lighter HRIS document handling.

For growing operations

Upgrade when scale or governance needs actually justify it.

Move into paid plans when you need more capacity, more workspaces, or stronger controls rather than buying an enterprise setup too early.

Why buyers trust the workflow

Built for sensitive HR records, even when a team starts on the free plan.

Start with one governed workspace instead of a throwaway trial. Janalix keeps approvals, signatures, archived records, and retrieval tied together so teams can prove the workflow before they need a larger rollout.

Operational proof

Buyers usually trust Janalix when they can see how access, verification, history, and retrieval stay connected instead of being split across tools.

Proof 01

Start without sales friction

Create one free workspace and begin with a meaningful employee limit instead of a bare demo shell.

Proof 02

Role-based access

Keep employee records scoped by organization and responsibility from the first workspace onward.

Proof 03

Authenticator-backed verification

Protect account access with an authenticator app and require a fresh verification step before final sign-off.

Proof 04

Audit-ready history

Preserve approvals, signatures, and key workflow actions with context that stays attached to the record.

Proof 05

Governed retrieval

Retrieve archived records with the operational history buyers and auditors actually ask for.

How it works

One clear path from first workspace to retrieval-ready evidence

Janalix helps buyers picture the full operating model instead of treating approvals, sign-off, storage, retrieval, HRIS context, and future growth as separate tools.

Workflow story

Start small, stay governed, and keep the record story intact as the workflow grows.

A serious buyer should be able to picture how a document moves, who acts on it next, what gets verified, when the record locks, and when the team naturally outgrows the first workspace without losing context.

Each step should answer a practical question: who owns the next action, what changes in the record, what can be proven later, and when does a paid plan become worth it instead of premature.
01

Create a workspace

Start with one free workspace and set up employee cabinets, workflow rules, and document control in one place.

02

Add employees

Manage up to 10 employees on the free plan so the workflow can be tested with real HR activity.

03

Run approvals and signatures

Move documents through clear ownership, approval, and sign-off states, then require authenticator verification before sensitive finalization.

04

Archive completed records

Lock completed records into governed storage with workflow history still attached.

05

Upgrade when needed

Move to a paid plan when you outgrow the employee cap, need another owned workspace, or want more advanced controls.

Why teams choose Janalix

A first workspace that still feels serious enough for sensitive HR records

Janalix is designed to make HR document work easier to run, easier to explain later, and easier to govern from the first workspace onward, especially when a traditional HRIS is not strong enough on the document side of the job.

Why the free plan matters

Start with a workflow worth adopting, not a tiny trial that cannot prove the operating model.

  • Start with one free workspace and enough capacity to prove the process.
  • Run approvals, signatures, and retrieval in one governed flow.
  • Upgrade when growth makes the limit real, not before.

Low-friction first step

Start with a real operating model instead of a stripped-down trial that cannot prove the workflow.

  • One free workspace to get moving quickly
  • Enough employee capacity for a meaningful pilot
  • Clear upgrade path when the team grows

Operational clarity

Give HR and approvers one place to see ownership, status, and record history from draft to retrieval.

  • Fewer handoffs lost in inboxes
  • Cleaner routing from document creation to archive
  • A calmer view of what needs action next

Enterprise-ready trust

Keep the workflow serious enough for sensitive employee records from the first workspace onward.

  • Role and organization-scoped access
  • Authenticator-backed login and sign-off
  • Traceable approval and signature history
  • Governed retrieval for archived records
  • A future path into bounded AI document analysis

When teams upgrade

Your employee count outgrows the free workspace

Move up when the free plan cap becomes a real operational blocker, not before.

You need another owned workspace

Use the paid plan when one team or one operating model is no longer enough.

You want a broader rollout path

Paid plans fit teams that need more scale, more coordination, or a more guided commercial process.

Practical reassurance

Free should feel usable. Paid should feel justified.

Janalix is priced so a team can start with a real workflow, then move up only when growth, extra workspaces, or broader operational needs make the upgrade worthwhile.

Existing records stay accessible if you hit a limit
Invitations into other workspaces can still work on free

Security and compliance

Sensitive HR records need explicit control, verified sign-off, and traceable evidence

Janalix is designed for workflows where document access, authenticator-backed verification, approvals, signatures, and archive retrieval need clear accountability from the first workspace onward, whether Janalix is the primary document system, the compliance layer beside a broader HRIS, or part of a more controlled enterprise operating boundary.

Explicit permissions

Keep document access scoped by role, organization, and workflow responsibility.

Authenticator verification

Support authenticator-app verification for sign-in and require a fresh check before sensitive signature completion.

Traceable actions

Record approvals, signatures, archive actions, and other sensitive events with history context.

Governed storage

Treat signed, archived, and exported records as controlled artifacts instead of loose files.

Evidence support

Retrieve the activity and record context needed for audits and internal reviews.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the free plan?+

The free plan includes one owned workspace, up to 10 employees, and the core workflow needed to organize employee records, approvals, signatures, and retrieval.

Is Janalix an HRIS?+

No. Janalix is not a traditional HRIS for payroll, attendance, or broad core HR administration. It gives HR teams a governed workflow and compliance layer for employee documents, approvals, acknowledgements, signatures, and archive-ready record handling.

Do I need a credit card to start?+

No. Janalix is designed so teams can start with the free workspace first and move into a paid plan only when the limits become real.

Does Janalix support two-factor authentication?+

Yes. Janalix supports authenticator-app verification for login and can require an additional authenticator check before signature completion.

Can I join another workspace while using the free plan?+

Yes. The free-plan limit is about how many workspaces your account owns, not whether you can be invited into another organization.

What happens when I reach 10 employees?+

You keep access to the workspace and the records already in it, but adding another employee is blocked until the workspace is upgraded.

When do teams usually upgrade?+

The main upgrade triggers are needing more than 10 employees, wanting another owned workspace, or needing more advanced controls as the operation grows.

Can Janalix work alongside our HRIS?+

Yes. Teams can use Janalix as the workflow and compliance layer around employee documents when their HRIS remains the system of record for broader HR administration.

What happens if someone loses their authenticator device?+

Users can fall back to one-time recovery codes. Teams can also reset access through their controlled account-management process if recovery codes are no longer available.

Is the free plan still built for sensitive HR records?+

Yes. Janalix keeps the same trust posture around permissions, authenticator-backed verification, audit history, and governed retrieval even when a team starts on the free plan.

Next step

Start free, then upgrade when your HR operation outgrows the first workspace.

Begin with one governed workspace, up to 10 employees, and a clearer workflow for records, approvals, verified sign-off, and retrieval.

Start with the right path

Start with the free workspace if you are ready to try Janalix, or move into pricing if you want to compare the next step more carefully.
