Onboarding gave me a week back per hire

Headcount and turnover reporting comes out of the box. Our board asked for twelve month attrition by department and I had it in about four minutes rather than the day it used to take.

Flat rate pricing is expensive below twenty five employees

Employees find their own documents now

The mobile app is genuinely used by our field staff, which I did not expect. They request time off from their phones and approvals happen the same day.

Time off arguments simply ended

Employees look up their own time off balance, their own documents and their own handbook instead of emailing me. I reckon that removed thirty or forty interruptions a month, and each one used to break whatever I was doing.

Time off accruals and carryover rules that match real policy

Turnover reporting our board asked for

We had failed at two HR systems before this. The difference is that we actually finished implementing this one. It was live in about three weeks with our own team, no consultant, and people used it without a mandate.

Onboarding gave me a week back per hire

Accrual and carryover rules match our policy exactly, including the cap, and the calendar shows the whole team. The arguments about who booked what and how many days are left are gone. That was worth the subscription on its own.

Performance and applicant tracking are adequate rather than strong

Turnover reporting our board asked for

New hire paperwork used to be a folder of PDFs, a week of chasing, and an I-9 I was never fully confident about. Now they get a link, complete everything themselves before day one, and it is signed and filed. We hired eleven people last year and it stopped being an event.

Under twenty five people the pricing bites

Approval chains are simpler than our structure needs and custom fields run out. At three hundred and forty people we are working around things that were effortless at ninety. It was the perfect product for us for four years.

Time off arguments simply ended

Managers see their own team and cannot see compensation for anyone else. Getting that permissions model right is why HR was willing to put real data in it.
