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.

Time off arguments simply ended

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Under twenty five people the pricing bites

Core HR, onboarding and time off are excellent. Performance is adequate next to a purpose built tool, and applicant tracking is fine rather than a reason to buy. Buy it for the core and treat the rest as a bonus.

Under twenty five people the pricing bites

We assumed an HR platform would run payroll. It is a separate product and it is US only, and we found that out during implementation. We kept our existing provider and integrate. Entirely checkable in advance and I did not check.

Onboarding gave me a week back per hire

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.
