Clarus HR
The HR Engine That Runs Itself
Clarus HR absorbs the routine half of an HR professional's day and surfaces the operational debt the rest of the organization never sees. A single audited engine handles policy rollouts, acknowledgment campaigns, payroll exceptions, case work, probation decisions, compensation drift, contractor classification risk, and multi-state compliance, turning a thousand small events into nine deliberate decisions.
Onboarding intelligence powered by Clarus CLM.

Most HRIS Stores Records. Clarus HR Acts on Them.
Traditional HR systems collect data and wait for someone to do something with it. Clarus HR turns each event into a structured next step, queues it in the Action Inbox, and learns from what you approve.
Traditional HRIS
- • Stores employee records and waits
- • Manual policy distribution by email
- • Compliance deadlines tracked in spreadsheets
- • Ad-hoc case management in shared inboxes
- • Policy interpretation lives in one person's head
- • Multi-state nexus discovered after the fact
You spend the day reacting. The system spends the day waiting.

Ten Engines, One Outcome: A Quieter Inbox, A Healthier Workforce
Each engine watches a different signal: workflow exceptions, policy changes, lifecycle events, compliance drift, and the operational debt that quietly accrues while everyone is busy. Together they cover the operational surface of HR.
Action Inbox + AI Command Layer
Every workflow that produces human work surfaces as a structured card with a recommended action and one-click handlers. The Command Layer turns natural-language requests into a typed plan with dry-run preview.
Policy Library With Executable Policies
Policies are objects, not documents. When a policy changes, the system computes the operational consequences and produces a rollout plan with audiences, acknowledgments, manager briefings, and exceptions.
Multi-State Compliance Engine
Federal, all 50 states, DC, and major city overlays seeded. Add a remote worker and the jurisdiction engine recomputes their training, postings, and tax registrations in seconds.
Onboarding And Lifecycle Orchestration
Templated lifecycles for hire, transfer, leave, return, and termination. Checklists are typed objects with state machines, idempotent transitions, and audit trails on every step.
Benefits + Payroll Exception Routing
Carrier feeds, ACA filings, retirement vesting, payroll anomalies, and tax registrations all surface as inbox items with auto-prepared actions, not raw error logs.
Case Management And Investigations
Employee Relations cases with witnesses, interviews, locked notes, and draft findings memos. SLA clocks pause and resume with status changes; breaches surface as urgent escalations.
Onboarding Intelligence Powered By Clarus CLM
Offer letters, employment agreements, and handbooks flow through the same clause-extraction engine that powers Clarus CLM. Risky terms and policy mismatches surface before signature.
Probation Windows + Forced Decisions
Every active hire with a start date gets a probation window automatically. Seven days before it closes, a decision-due card lands in the Action Inbox. Pass, extend, or end the engagement; the call is recorded, the audit log is written, and the window stops drifting past.
Compensation Anomaly Detection
Salaries outside the configured band for an employee's level and location surface here. The page never displays the salary itself, only the gap and the band that was compared against; acknowledgement is per-anomaly and silences only that one.
Contractor Classification Risk
Engagement signals that look more employee than contractor: sole-employer status, long engagement window, fixed schedule, equipment provided, embedded-in-team. Weighted scores surface borderline cases with a CRITICAL inbox card. A risk surface, not a determination.
