Avantages

It has a lot of features that can offer complete customization for the needs of the business. I specifically like the modular pricing structure; allowing a business to choose what features and functions they need and not requiring that business to have to pay for what they don't. I also appreciate that they offer a non-profit discount, which is really the only reason we can afford to use the service. I've also found their customer service very responsive.

Inconvénients

I wish they had a dedicated app to make it easier for employees to access their time off and time sheets. I also wish they had some additional customization for schedules of each person to allow a better sync between time off and time sheets.

Avantages

It's relatively easy to use, and it has some functionality that we wanted when we were looking for an HR program. The auto-reminder function for birthdays and anniversaries is helpful

Inconvénients

It's a bit clunky. We originally wanted to use the performance management section for our lawyers and legal assistants. Unfortunately, we were never able to get it to work for our lawyers (because we have to solicit feedback from more than 10 partners. We also stopped using it for assistants, this year, because the process seemed a bit difficult to manage. If 3 people were reviewing one person's performance, the first or second would inevitably choose "FINALIZE" which then required an admin to go back and re-open the process before others could add their input.

Avantages

I like that you can code different time off types with colors, then look at the calendar to see who is off/why. This really helps with planning! I also like being able to set up all the different time off categories, and length of service plans.

Inconvénients

The reporting is a little 'cumbersome' to me. I would like to see a report that concisely lists the name, and then how much of each time off type left at end of year, without a different line listing each one.

Avantages

Love the time-off function in general - great overall tracking of accruals, time off policies, and reports are easy to pull and so helpful!

Inconvénients

The timesheet function would better suit our company with a more streamlined interface. We don't need project/scope specific work logging, instead just capturing the hours and the site address is what we need. Too detailed in my opinion, but still works!

Pourquoi passer à PurelyHR

Avantages

Simple to use, never IT issues. I manage 30 staff members over 2 offices and remote workers. Easy to add/remove employees

Inconvénients

It all works well. Flexibility to change policies works in our favor.

Avantages

Ease of use, employees like the transparency and being able to submit their own requests. Keeps us organized as a team and helps us manage time off requests.
We like the option of being able to limit number of employees off during certain times of the year to make sure we have adequate staffing.

Inconvénients

Multi-Day requests can be a bit tricky especially if it is around a holiday.

Avantages

Feature packed and easy user interface. This is a great product for a small business to get many of the features in much larger HR software packages.

Inconvénients

Just getting the initial invoice paid was the worst part and that didn't take long :)

Avantages

It is fairly easy to use. We can easily upload to our calendar from the approval email.

Inconvénients

It doesn't work well with Carryover Days. We will be doing lots of manual work in order for it to work properly.

Avantages

I thought the navigation was easy and the user interface clear. It was not a product where I needed a ton of support to navigate.

Inconvénients

As an admin, pulling vacation balances for the team members always took a little bit of reviewing. It wasn't as clear as other platforms I have used in the past.

Avantages

Most of the set-up is easy and managing the time off for employees is simple.

Inconvénients

I do not like that carry over time and the way it shows an employees current vacation. It is confusing and is hard to figure out. Some of the placement of the settings once you are up and running and need adjustments is also hard to locate.

Avantages

Reasonable Price
Stable product (not a lot of downtime)
Easy PTO management

Inconvénients

Performance module could use some additional options, and it can be difficult for new managers to use.

Uploading user files has to be done one at a time.

Avantages

It is easy to set up and easy to manage.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way to make a time off policy automatically added to all new users by default.

Avantages

Customer service is phenomenal. They are very easy to work with.

Inconvénients

The lack of a stand alone app makes it harder to use on the go.

Avantages

I like the easy of use of the organizational tool. I can quickly input PTO information while also track my employees time-off visually through a simple but effective calendar view.

Inconvénients

I haven’t been able to have it easily connect to our current HR software (Gusto) as a supplemental 3rd party software.

Avantages

I like the way we can customize the solutions according to the different labor law we have on the different offices the company has around the globe.

Inconvénients

Sometimes customizing may be a bit hard to do, but the support team is always really helpful

Avantages

This is a great tool and easy to use for our small office to track PTO.

Inconvénients

Don't have any cons. Good value for our needs.

Avantages

Excellent telephone support. I am not a computer expert so when ive had a problem i get great help.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it is not obvious how to perform certain tasks

Avantages

The ease of using it from management to staff members. The look for the brand. Easy use of the reports and breakdown of what we are needing and searching for.

Inconvénients

Really haven’t run into something I don’t like.

Avantages

I enjoy that I can have a quick snapshot all in one calendar!

Inconvénients

Ensuring that rollover days are done correctly can be difficult and if something is wrong it is a very manual process to correct

Avantages

User-friendly interface
Its modules for time-off tracking, employee data management, and performance reviews are streamlined

Inconvénients

The reporting features could be more flexible.

Avantages

PurelyHR is simple to operate and easily to learn. I didn't have expert to train me to use it, but I did it myself.

Inconvénients

PurelyHR, doesn't provide past year's record of leave taken by staff. I would appreciate if it could display previous records.

Avantages

It was easy to use for submitting time off requests.

Inconvénients

It did not have as many options as other programs.

Avantages

The ease with which we can customize our (sometimes) unorthodox time-off requests is unparalleled. Our staff love the ability to see the entire calendar, and our managers love the ability to approve via email and get live updates on current balances.

Inconvénients

We considered using the Timesheet app in conjunction with the Time-Off app, but found the different views to be either not detailed enough, or too detailed for our employees to use. We would strongly consider adding the Timesheet app on to our account if it was able to be a bit more dynamic. For example, we have several employees who are grant-funded (and need to be able to track their time to specific grants); currently, we are using google sheets to do this because it allows employees to simply enter in their time in the corresponding cells with ease. It would be great to see PurelyHR develop a "simple" view that has customizable rows for different "Projects" (or, grants).
