Tools that do not talk to each other
Schedules in one app, timecards in another, messages in a third — context never lives where the work happens.
Yrka for Work
One operations workspace for the team running the day.
Scheduling, timekeeping, employee records, communications, resources, training, tasks, integrations, and payroll-prep handoff — without the project-management bloat, without the HRIS sprawl, without the compliance promises Yrka shouldn’t make.
30-day trial. Card required. Cancel anytime from the Stripe portal.

Built for these realities
The pain we hear from operators
Each pain point reflects real conversations with SMB operators evaluating workforce tools today. Yrka is shaped around these realities, not generic feature checklists.
Payroll prep that hides its trail
Edits, breaks, and exceptions live in spreadsheets and texts, so payroll handoff becomes a forensic exercise every cycle.
AI features without guardrails
Black-box automations make changes without review, which is the opposite of what SMB operators can defend to staff or auditors.
How teams use it
Use cases we ship for today
These are the moments this surface is built around. They map to shipped product behavior and the launch scope for this area.
Daily ops home
Admin and employee dashboards, tasks, imports, and reports share one product frame so the workday has a single front door.
Pilot rollout
Controlled trial activation and managed onboarding move a single location from spreadsheets to Yrka in days, not quarters.
Multi-team operations
Permissioned admin and employee surfaces scope what each role can see and do across schedules, records, and reports.
Why Yrka here
What makes this different
Differentiators map to shipped product behavior. They are the reasons buyers pick this surface after comparing alternatives.
Review-first AI by default
Every agent action previews the change, checks permissions, and waits for human confirmation before writing.
Honest product scope
Trust, AI, integration, and package language maps to shipped capabilities and clear customer responsibilities — no SOC 2, payroll filing, or compliance claims at launch.
Built for mobile reality
Responsive PWA with scoped offline reads and queued writes so frontline employees can act on shifts and time even with bad connectivity.
How Yrka compares
Honest positioning against the tools buyers usually evaluate alongside Yrka. Comparisons reflect launch scope, not aspirational claims.
vs Connecteam
Deeper AI review, payroll-prep evidence, and PWA offline reliability instead of just a broader feature checklist.
vs Homebase / Deputy
AI workspace plus payroll-prep auditability bundled with scheduling and timekeeping, not bolted on.
vs Rippling / Gusto
SMB-friendly simplicity with operations-first surfaces, not enterprise HRIS pricing or scope.
Grounded on the Jami Studio OSS framework

Time entry, clock flows, leave, drive time, and payroll-prep exports on one review path.

ExploreHow Yrka fits
A rhythm that mirrors how operations teams actually work
The product doesn't ask you to learn a new methodology. It picks up the shape of your day and gives every step a place to land.
- 01
Bring operations in under Yrka for Work
Import schedules, employee records, paystubs, resources, and time data. Stage everything for review before it lands.
- 02
Run the day
Schedule, clock, message, train, and assign — one workspace, permissioned the same way across admin and employee.
- 03
Hand off cleanly
Payroll-prep exports, audit-ready records, and provider handoff files. No silent automations, no surprise integrations.
AI built on permissions, not promises
A review-first admin agent and Resources chat that respects your data
Yrka’s AI assists where it actually helps — admin previews, source-cited answers, and contextual prompts — without making decisions for you. Provider keys stay server-side, drafts never reach chat, and every preview waits for human confirmation.
Admin agent that previews everything
Permission-scoped answers, dry-run previews, and human confirmation before any write. Allowlisted tools, audited tool calls, refusal states.
Resources chat over approved sources
Access-scoped retrieval with citations. Lexical by default, optional vector retrieval that falls back to lexical when needed.
Server-side keys, clear disabled states
Provider keys stay on the server. Disabled or unavailable providers return clear refusal copy.
Permissions and RLS by default
Named admin permissions, organization-scoped row level security on every read, and audit events for sensitive admin and billing actions.
Private documents, signed URLs
Employee documents live in a private bucket with permissioned short-lived signed URLs. Service-role usage is server-only.
Operations runbooks documented
Deployment, migration, backup, restore-drill, and incident response runbooks — written before launch, not after.
Trust posture
Real controls. Honest scope. Customer in charge.
Yrka maps every public claim to a product source of truth. We describe what’s shipped, name the boundaries plainly, and leave legal, payroll, tax, and HR decisions with the customer — where they belong.
Pricing and rollout
One product. Four packages. Help when you need it.
Starter for small teams, Team and Ops as you grow, and Managed when you want operators in the room during rollout. All plans include the entire core product.

Common questions
The answers buyers actually want before they trial
Trial, mobile, payroll, support, export, and trust scope — in plain language. If a question isn’t here, ask us.
How does the trial work?
Start with a 30-day card-required trial. Cancel anytime from the Stripe customer portal. Workspaces stay available for export or reactivation for 30 days after paid access ends.
Does Yrka process payroll or file taxes?
No. Yrka covers time tracking, scheduling, payroll-prep exports, and provider handoff. Customers stay in charge of payroll processing, tax filing, legal, and HR decisions.
What does mobile look like?
Responsive web and an installable PWA cover employee time entry, scheduling, resources, tasks, messages, and profile review. Employees see scoped offline read context plus queued supported writes with clear sync states.
Can we export our data?
Yes. Payroll-prep exports, schedule and time reports, and employee data exports are part of the core product. Customer data remains exportable for 30 days after paid access ends unless an earlier deletion is requested.
