HR apps that keep New York notices, leave and records in order.

Codeeo delivers HR management app development New York employers use to manage the paperwork the state and the city attach to every hire: pay notices, electronic monitoring acknowledgments, sick and family leave, harassment prevention training and the employee file itself. We build a mobile app for staff, approval tools for managers and a console for HR, so each obligation has a date, an owner and a signed record behind it. For employers with people in all five boroughs and across the river, that structure replaces folders, inboxes and memory.

Codeeo does not have a New York office. Our 80+ people are based in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and we work with New York clients remotely, holding discovery, reviews and user testing over video call. Ownership of the code, store listings and data sits with you.

Capabilities

What a New York HR app needs to do well.

Hiring someone in Manhattan or Brooklyn triggers more written steps than in most of the country. The state expects a pay notice at hire in English and, where a template exists, the employee's primary language. It expects acknowledgment of electronic monitoring. Leave entitlements stack: state paid sick leave, the city's earned safe and sick time law, Paid Family Leave and paid prenatal leave. Many employers also have staff who live in New Jersey or Connecticut and commute in, or who work part of the week from home, which raises questions about whose rules apply. We build the app so each of these steps is a tracked item tied to the employee record, with documents stored against the exact version the person signed. Clocking hours, running payroll and recruiting are covered on our other pages; here the focus is the record and the duties around it.

Explain your project
  • Pay notice at hire

    New York Labor Law requires a written notice of pay rate, payday and employer details at hire. The app generates the notice from the employee record, offers the version in the employee's primary language where the state provides one, collects a signed acknowledgment and stores it for the required period.

    Every hire has a signed, retrievable pay notice.

  • Monitoring acknowledgment

    Employers that monitor phone, email or internet use must give new hires written notice and get an acknowledgment, and post the notice where staff can see it. The app adds this to onboarding, records the signature, and keeps the posted notice in the employee portal so it is always available.

    Monitoring notice handled on day one.

  • Layered leave balances

    State paid sick leave scales with employer size, New York City adds its own safe and sick time rules, and paid prenatal leave sits on top as its own bank. The app keeps each entitlement as a separate balance with its own accrual and usage rules, so employees and payroll see the same numbers.

    No confusion between overlapping leave banks.

  • Paid Family Leave cases

    New York Paid Family Leave covers bonding, family care and certain military situations, and is funded through insurance. The app records the request, the documents sent to the carrier, approved dates and job protection status, and reminds HR when the employee is due back.

    Family leave tracked without spreadsheets.

  • Annual harassment training

    New York State requires interactive sexual harassment prevention training for all employees every year, and New York City sets its own training rules for larger employers. The app assigns the course, records completion and the policy acknowledgment, and shows HR who is overdue by department or location.

    Training proof ready for any review.

  • Pay range records

    New York State and New York City both require a good faith pay range in advertisements for jobs, promotions and transfers when the employer has four or more employees. The app stores the approved range per role and keeps the history of ranges, which the state law asks employers to retain.

    A clear history of every published range.

  • I-9 with remote review

    Employers enrolled in E-Verify and in good standing can examine I-9 documents remotely under the federal alternative procedure. The app supports both routes: a live video document review with the required retention of copies, or an in-person review at your office, with the method recorded on each form.

    I-9 completed correctly for remote and office hires.

  • Protected personal data

    Social Security numbers, bank details and ID images are private information under the New York SHIELD Act, which expects reasonable safeguards. We encrypt those fields, restrict them to named roles, log every access and give you an incident response record if anything goes wrong.

    Sensitive data protected and accounted for.

  • Commuter and hybrid staff

    Each employee record holds a primary work location and any regular remote location. HR can see who works from New Jersey, Connecticut or upstate New York, and the app flags where a leave or notice rule may differ for that person, so policy decisions are made deliberately.

    A clear view of where people actually work.

  • Manager self-service

    Managers in Midtown, the Financial District or a Queens warehouse approve leave, view their team's documents and complete performance check-ins from their phones. Access is limited to their own reports, and HR can see every action taken.

    Less HR time spent relaying requests.

Who this is for

New York employers we build HR apps for.

Plenty of small New York businesses run well on an HR module from their payroll provider, and we will tell you if that is the sensible route. Custom HR management app development in New York tends to pay off when several entities share staff, when the workforce is spread between offices, sites and homes in different states, or when your clients and auditors ask for controls a packaged tool cannot show.

01

Financial and professional services

Firms in Midtown and Lower Manhattan face client audits and regulator questions about who has access to what. They need precise permission models, records of policy attestations, and evidence that personal data is protected. We build role based access, signed attestation records and a full audit log, hosted in the firm's own cloud account so its security team can review it. Attestations for codes of conduct and personal trading policies can be scheduled each year and chased automatically.

Controls built for audit and client review.

02

Hospitality and restaurant groups

Hotels and restaurant groups across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens hire often, with staff who read Spanish, Chinese or another language first. Pay notices, monitoring acknowledgments and training have to happen fast and in the right language. We make onboarding phone first, short and multilingual, with each location seeing only its own team. Seasonal rehires keep their earlier documents, so returning staff confirm what changed instead of filling everything in again.

Fast, multilingual onboarding at volume.

03

Nonprofits and social services

Organizations funded by city and state contracts often have reporting duties tied to their staff, along with grant rules on who can be paid from which program. We tie each employee to programs and funders in the record, track required training and background check status, and produce staffing reports a program officer can read. Staff who move between programs keep one record, with the split of their time noted for each funder.

Staff records linked to programs and funders.

04

Healthcare employers

Clinics, home care agencies and practice groups in the city track licenses, health screenings and required training with strict limits on who sees medical details. We keep that information apart from the general file, add renewal reminders to every credential and give schedulers a simple valid or expired view. Home care aides who rarely visit the office can upload renewed certificates from their phones.

Credentials tracked with privacy intact.

Our build process

  1. 01Understand your obligationsWe review your entities, locations and current HR tools over video, and list the state, city and federal duties your team handles by hand today.
  2. 02Agree the data modelThe employee record, document types, leave banks and permission roles are written up and approved by your HR lead before design begins.
  3. 03Design and test screensStaff, manager and HR screens are prototyped and tested with a sample of your employees, including those who use the app in a second language.
  4. 04Build in sprintsWorking features land on a test build every cycle, and each notice, leave rule and training rule is checked by your team before release.
  5. 05Migrate and reconcileSigned documents, balances and history from your current system are imported, matched and checked, with every gap listed for HR to settle before the old system is switched off.
  6. 06Release and supportWe publish the apps under your accounts, train HR and managers by video, and keep rules current under an agreed support plan.

Technology

What we build this with.

We usually build the employee app in React Native or Flutter, the HR console as a web application, and the back end in your own cloud account. Payroll, benefits, Paid Family Leave carriers, e-signature, learning and identity systems are connected through APIs or secure file exchange. The HR management app developers New York clients work with are the same people who build and support the system.

FAQ for New York employers

We estimate only after discovery, because scope sets the cost.

Cost rises with the number of entities and work locations, the leave and notice rules to automate, the languages you support, the integrations with payroll, carriers and identity systems, and the size of the data migration. We break the work into phases and estimate each one, so you can start with the steps that take most of your HR team's time today and add the rest when ready. Hosting and support after launch are priced as their own line, so the running cost is visible before you commit.
