Editions
Two Editions. One System of Record for Workforce Accountability.
GABE HRIS is designed for organizations operating under regulatory scrutiny, legal exposure, and audit requirements. Both editions share the same governance-first foundation. The Federal Contractor Edition adds contract accounting, DCAA-compliant timekeeping, and federal compliance automation.
Why there are two editions
Commercial organizations and federal contractors operate under fundamentally different accountability models. GABE HRIS delivers a single governance-aligned platform, while enabling additional compliance, contract, and security controls required in federal environments. This avoids bloated configurations while preserving audit-grade integrity where it is required.
-
One shared platform Same system of record, same governance architecture, same core modules.
-
Edition-specific controls Federal-only capabilities appear only where contract and audit requirements demand them.
-
Better buyer fit Commercial teams avoid federal overhead. Federal teams avoid compliance gaps.

Common questions
Can I start with Commercial and upgrade to Federal later?
Yes. The platform foundation is shared. Moving to Federal typically means enabling contract accounting, DCAA-grade timekeeping controls, and federal reporting packs that align to your contract and audit environment.
Do I need the Federal edition if I only do a small amount of government work?
If you bill labor to contracts, operate under DCAA expectations, or have contract-driven workforce rules, the Federal edition is usually the right fit. If not, Commercial typically covers regulated HR needs without added overhead.
