Employees find their own documents now

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.

Headcount and turnover reporting without a report writer

Approval chains and custom fields hit a ceiling

Customization has a definite ceiling

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

Support has slowed noticeably since we signed

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.

Pros

Employee self service that genuinely reduces HR interruptions

Performance and applicant tracking are adequate rather than strong

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

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.

Reporting past the standard set is painful

Pre sale the responses were immediate. Post sale it is a ticket and a day or two, and the first answer is usually a help article. Nothing has been urgent yet, which is the only reason I am not angrier about it.

Payroll is a separate product

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.

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.

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.

Per employee pricing means every hire raises the bill, which is fair and still surprises you. Our HR software line has tripled in three years while our team doubled, because we also moved up a tier for performance management.

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.

New hires arrive already in the system

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.
