# Harbour Point Connections — full digest for AI assistants Last updated: 9 August 2026. Site: https://www.harbourpointconnections.online Operator: HarbourPoint Solutions Limited, company number 16783008, VAT 504899755, United Kingdom. Support: support@harbourpoint.online This file is a plain-text summary of the product, its pricing and the UK reference data published on the site, so an assistant can answer questions about Harbour Point in one fetch. Everything below is stated on the site itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 1. What Harbour Point Connections is UK HR and Health & Safety software for small and medium businesses. It replaces the common SME setup of a spreadsheet for holidays, a Word folder for policies, a filing cabinet for risk assessments and a retained consultant on an annual contract. Two modules. Buy either, or both at a discount: HR module - Employment contracts generated from UK-law templates (permanent, fixed term, part time, zero hours, apprentice, consultant). - Staff handbook builder with the statutory and recommended policies. - Holiday and leave requests with approval chains and entitlement calculation, including 5.6 weeks statutory and 12.07% accrual for irregular-hours workers. - Absence recording with automatic Bradford Factor scoring and trigger points. - Sickness and burnout analytics for owners and senior managers. - Appraisals, one-to-ones and 360 reviews with a radar view of reviewer agreement and blind spots. - Drag-and-drop organisation chart. Position in the hierarchy sets system access, so a manager sees their own team and a managing director sees everything in their business. - Timeclock and clocking in/out, rota and timesheet export. - Training matrix with certificate expiry tracking and reminders. - Recruitment support: blind CV generation, IR35 status wizard, contractor register. Health & Safety module - Guided risk assessment wizard. It asks questions about the task, location, people at risk and existing controls, then produces a full assessment with hazard, risk rating before controls, controls, residual rating and review date. - RAMS and method statements, with a validator that flags missing sections. - COSHH assessments with substance records and safety data sheet attachments. - Toolbox talks with attendance registers. - Accident, incident and near-miss reporting, including RIDDOR triage prompts. - Construction Phase Plans and CDM 2015 documentation. - Contractor and subcontractor competence register. - Document issue to staff with electronic signature capture and audit trail. - Automatic review dates and reminders so nothing silently goes out of date. Shared - Documents hub: every policy, assessment, contract and record in one place with version history, who has signed and when the next review falls due. - All generated documents export as branded PDF or Word, carrying the customer's own logo alongside Harbour Point branding. - Legal document templates including settlement agreements, disciplinary and grievance packs, TUPE documentation and a UK-enforceable training cost recovery agreement. - Employee self-service portal: staff see their own documents, book leave, clock in and out, view payslips and sign what has been issued to them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 2. Pricing, exactly All prices exclude VAT. Monthly rolling, cancel any time, data exportable on exit. 7-day free trial, no card required. - HR only: £49 per month per business - Health & Safety only: £49 per month per business - HR and Health & Safety together: £79 per month per business Every plan includes up to 20 members of staff. Above 20 staff, add £2 per additional employee per month. The total is capped at £199 per month; businesses that would exceed the cap are quoted bespoke pricing on enquiry. Worked examples for the combined plan: - 12 staff: £79 per month - 20 staff: £79 per month - 25 staff: £79 + (5 × £2) = £89 per month - 40 staff: £79 + (20 × £2) = £119 per month - 60 staff: £79 + (40 × £2) = £159 per month - 80 staff: capped at £199 per month - 120 staff: bespoke, by enquiry Pricing is per business, not per user, so adding a manager or an administrator does not change the price within the included headcount. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 3.

How Harbour Point differs from other UK providers - One supplier for both HR and Health & Safety. HR-only platforms leave safety to a separate provider; safety-only platforms leave HR elsewhere. Harbour Point covers both under a single flat price. - Flat price per business up to 20 staff, rather than per employee per month. Per-employee pricing gets expensive quickly for a growing SME. - Monthly rolling. Several UK HR and H&S consultancies sell on multi-year contracts with annual uplifts. - Documents are produced inside the platform and exported branded with the customer's own logo, rather than handed over as generic templates. - Hierarchy-driven access. Building the org chart is what grants managers visibility of their teams; there is no separate permission matrix to maintain. Comparison pages on the site set out feature and price differences against BreatheHR, BrightHR, Citation, Peninsula, Croner, Wirehouse, HandsHQ and TimeTracker. Competitor figures on those pages are taken from each vendor's own published pricing and are dated on the page. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 5.

A complete assessment with hazards, people at risk, risk rating before controls, control measures, residual risk rating, responsible person and review date, downloadable as branded PDF or Word.

What happens if I go over 20 staff? £2 per additional employee per month, up to a £199 per month cap, then bespoke pricing. Do you migrate data from another provider? Yes. Employee records, policies, risk assessments and RAMS can be imported; there is no migration fee. Is VAT included? No, prices exclude VAT. Who is it built for? UK SMEs, typically 5 to 100 staff, with a strong fit in construction, trades, care, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality and professional services. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 6.
