Frequently asked questions
What is August HR?
August HR (augusthr.com) is all-in-one HR software for seasonal employers such as pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted attractions, farms, festivals and other attractions. It combines applicant tracking (August ATS), mobile onboarding with e-signatures, employee scheduling, a time clock, team messaging and background checks in one platform.
How much does August cost?
August costs $400 per year for the platform, plus $3 per month for each active employee or August ATS hire above the 15 included every month. An employee is active in a month if they clock in or out, are on a published schedule for a day that has passed, or sign a document. Each active employee counts once per month, no matter how many of these they do. Each new hire you make through August ATS also counts toward that month's usage. The platform fee includes 15,000 SMS credits.
