Onboarding gave me a week back per hire

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.

Pros

Time off accruals and carryover rules that match real policy

Payroll is a separate product and US only

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great at core HR, thin at the edges

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.

Pros

Time off accruals and carryover rules that match real policy

Cons

Performance and applicant tracking are adequate rather than strong

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.

Managers see their team and nothing else

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.
