Onboarding gave me a week back per hire

The employee record is the quiet win. Compensation history, reviews, documents, emergency contacts and certifications in one place with real permissions. We were running that across a shared drive and a spreadsheet and I did not appreciate the risk until it was fixed.

Pros

Onboarding with electronic I-9 and W-4 that new hires complete themselves

Flat rate pricing is expensive below twenty five employees

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

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.

Managers see their team and nothing else

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.

Pros

Headcount and turnover reporting without a report writer

Approval chains and custom fields hit a ceiling

The first HR system we finished implementing

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.

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

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.

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.

Payroll is a separate product

Below twenty five employees you pay a flat rate starting around two hundred and fifty a month, which for an eighteen person company is a lot per head. It gets much better value as you grow past the threshold.

Support got slower after we signed

The built in reports are good and anything custom means exporting to a spreadsheet. I wanted headcount cost by department by month and could not build it. For a product at this price point that gap is frustrating.
