Migrate your WebHR data
Cloud HRMS built for small-to-mid businesses covering the full hire-to-retire lifecycle at per-employee pricing. WebHR competes on affordability and all-in-one consolidation rather than enterprise depth.
In its favor
Why people choose WebHR
The signal that keeps WebHR on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Low per-employee pricing starting at $2/month makes WebHR accessible for SMBs that cannot afford BambooHR or Rippling, with a free 5-employee evaluation tier that requires no credit card upfront.
All-in-one consolidation from hire to retire covers core HR, payroll, recruitment, performance, and benefits in a single subscription without needing separate vendor integrations.
User-friendly interface praised across G2 reviews for easy navigation and fast onboarding, with 24/7 support and cloud-only deployment requiring no on-premise IT overhead.
Social HR and communication tools embedded within the platform appeal to organizations wanting internal collaboration features rather than separate Slack or Teams integrations.
Annual pre-pay discounts exceeding 30% reduce the effective monthly cost significantly for budget-conscious small businesses planning ahead.
Frequent slowdowns and lags reported in G2 reviews frustrate users during peak times like payroll runs, with some noting the platform becomes unusable during high-activity windows.
Reporting and analytics are described as limited and shallow compared to competitors, making it difficult to generate the detailed HR reports that growing companies require.
Support responsiveness is inconsistent according to some reviewers, with critical issues taking too long to resolve during urgent payroll or compliance situations.
The platform lacks the advanced automation, AI features, and compliance depth that companies scaling beyond 200 employees typically need from enterprise HRMS vendors.

What gets migrated
WebHR object support
Object-by-object support for WebHR migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Fully supportedCore employee record in WebHR contains all standard HR fields (name, contact, job title, department, hire date, salary, status). We read these via GET /v3 with module=Organization and map them 1:1 to the destination Employee object. Effective-date changes on compensation are preserved as separate history rows.
Companies (Organization)
Fully supportedWebHR's CompaniesList endpoint exposes the parent organization record. For multi-entity deployments, we extract each company as a separate org unit in the destination system.
Leaves and PTO
Fully supportedLeave records include leave type, start/end dates, status, and balance consumed. We migrate the full leave history including approved, pending, and denied records. Balance forward is calculated and written as an opening balance on the destination system.
Recruitment Candidates
Mapping requiredCandidates are created via the ATS module and include application stage, screening data, and attachments. The application pipeline stage names vary by customer configuration, so we map them to the destination's equivalent pipeline stages and flag any custom stages that have no clear equivalent.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredPerformance module stores review records linked to employees with ratings, goals, and feedback text. Custom review templates and rating scales differ across accounts, requiring field-level mapping to the destination's review object schema.
Payroll Records
Mapping requiredPayroll is a paid add-on module at $2/employee/month. Historical payslips and payroll runs are exported via API where the payroll module is active. Year-to-date earnings and deductions are computed from historical runs and written as opening balances at migration cut-off.
Time & Attendance
Mapping requiredClock-in/clock-out timestamps and timesheet data are available from the Time & Attendance module. We migrate approved timesheet records and flag any unprocessed or pending entries that require manual review at cut-over.
Documents and Files
Mapping requiredWebHR's Files module stores employee documents (contracts, IDs, certifications) as binary blobs. We enumerate all file metadata and download the blobs for re-upload to the destination HRMS, preserving original filenames and content types.
Benefits
Mapping requiredBenefit enrollment records are stored under the Benefits module. We extract the benefit type, coverage level, and enrollment dates. Dependent and beneficiary details are mapped as sub-records where the destination schema supports them.
eSignature Records
Mapping requiredSigned documents from the eSignature module are tracked with status and timestamp. We migrate the record of the signed document and its audit trail, noting the original signatory and signing date.
Custom Forms
Mapping requiredCustom forms created by the customer in the Forms module contain field data tied to specific employees. We export the form response records and field values, mapping them to the destination's custom field or employee property structure.
Scheduler and Shifts
Mapping requiredScheduler module stores shift assignments, rosters, and shift swap records. We extract active shift patterns and map them to the destination's scheduling or workforce management object, flagging recurring shift templates that may require translation.
