Used 6 to 12 months

The module structure is honest

Carryover rules were the thing our old spreadsheet always got wrong. It handles them, including the cap, and I have not had to check it manually since month two.

Pros

Set up without a consultant

Cons

Customization runs out past a few hundred staff

Leave tracking that people use without being told

We tracked vacation in a shared spreadsheet for four years and it was wrong constantly. This replaced it in an afternoon and the arguments stopped. Accruals, carryover and a calendar everyone can see. That is all we needed and that is exactly what we bought.

Pros

Six fifty per employee per month for the core

Performance module is basic

Approval chains finally match how we work

The shared calendar stopped two people on the same small team booking the same week, which used to happen twice a year and caused real problems.

No US payroll is a real problem

Support is email only on our plan and the turnaround is a day or two. Nothing has been urgent yet. If it ever is, I do not love my options.

Six fifty a head is the right price for this

Carryover rules were the thing our old spreadsheet always got wrong. It handles them, including the cap, and I have not had to check it manually since month two.

Support is email and patience

It integrates with payroll rather than running it, which means you are still paying someone else for the part that actually has to be right. For a small company that is two vendors and two bills to do what should be one job.

We added timesheets a year in and it slotted straight on. No migration, no renegotiation, just a line on the invoice. The modular thing is real and not a pricing trick.

The pricing is what sold me. Six fifty per person for core HR and leave, and I add modules only when I need them. Every other product wanted to sell me a platform. This let me buy a feature.

Employee self service actually gets used. People book their own time off, managers approve on their phone, and I stopped being the middle of every request. Adoption was immediate, which never happens.

We assumed Sage meant payroll. It does not.

It integrates with payroll rather than running it, which means you are still paying someone else for the part that actually has to be right. For a small company that is two vendors and two bills to do what should be one job.

Great at leave, thin everywhere else

Leave management is genuinely excellent. Everything else is adequate. Performance reviews are basic next to a purpose built tool and the org chart is decorative. Buy it for leave and treat the rest as a bonus.

Response from the vendorFeb 10, 2025

Thank you for the feedback. Sage HR is designed to integrate with payroll providers rather than process payroll directly, and we appreciate that this is not always clear during evaluation. Our team can walk you through the payroll integrations available in your region.
