Open-source Connecteam alternatives

Horilla is a free and open-source human resource management system built with Python and Django. The README describes it as comprehensive and designed to streamline HR operations. It combines employee records with the common HR workflows into one application, so small and mid-sized organizations can manage staff without stitching separate tools together.

Core modules include employee management with LDAP integration, recruitment from job posting to onboarding, onboarding and offboarding workflows, attendance and time tracking with biometric integration, leave management with policy enforcement and approvals, payroll with salary processing and tax calculations, performance management with goals and reviews, asset management and a helpdesk for HR requests.

The project explains its branch layout: the 2.0 branch is the default for running or deploying Horilla, dev/v2.0 is where contributions should go, and version 1 is deprioritized with fixes considered case by case. It uses htmx and JavaScript on the front end and is licensed under LGPL-2.1. The project website is horilla.com.

Staffjoy Suite, also called Staffjoy V1, is a workforce management and scheduling application designed for hundreds of workers. Its creators open-sourced it when Staffjoy shut down, after modifying it so existing customers could keep using it. It was originally intended for on-demand companies and call centers.

The suite covers time off requests, compliance management and clock-in, and workers can clock in and claim shifts. It supports managing both employees and contractors, and an API is documented on staffjoy-suite.readme.io. Smaller businesses that only need basic scheduling with text message support are pointed to Staffjoy V2.

It is written in Python and needs MySQL and Redis, with configuration set through environment variables such as the environment mode, base URL, Mandrill API key and sender address. Anyone using it commercially should also review the Highcharts licensing requirements. The repository license is listed as Other, and git history was squashed for security.
