PurelyHR Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Ease of handling time off requests and a company wide calendar that everyone has access to

Nachteile

Setup would be my least favorite. There was a learning curve due to the complexities of time off scenarios but the staff at PurelyHR: Time Off walked me through each step so that my least favorite part of the software was easily navigated.

Vorteile

PurelyHR has a simple interface and is easy to use, both in terms of administration and end user input. It helps us keep track of more complex needs, such as overtime, for certain staff members.

Nachteile

We only use it for time sheet and vacation purposes, so it doesn't seem worth the expense or compliance overhead of using yet another vendor. I'd prefer to see this type of functionality be better built into our core HR platform so we don't need to maintain two relationships.

Vorteile

The best thing about the software is that it is easy for employees to ask for paid time off. Most of the time they don't even need a tutorial. It's also very easy for managers to to approve time off.

Nachteile

Assigning the manager-there seems to be two places you need to do that so the secondary manager doesn't also get the emails. The "allowance" is confusing to our employees because some of them change policies midyear, so a lot of times they don't have a whole 13 or 15 days to use but that's what they think because that's what they see first. They don't know to click on the magnifying glass and scroll down to see their 'max earning for this year.'

Vorteile

This is super easy for our employees to quickly understand and use. For admins, setting up a new user and general on-going maintenance is a breeze.

Nachteile

We've had issues with making requests into a future year. Customer service responds quickly but doesn't always have a solution.

Vorteile

At a glance, we know what our employees' vacation status is. The calendar enables us to see how many will be gone in a particular day which is important to help us avoid having too many out at one time.

Nachteile

Vacation time is subtracted in advance. It would be nice to see actual time remaining rather than time off remaining after subtracting future vacation days.

Vorteile

Setting up new employees is easy & intuitive. Customer service is always responsive in a timely manner & the price is right for a small company like ours.

Nachteile

Setting up a new user's vacation time on an accrual basis (instead of all up front) has been difficult/confusing

Vorteile

It's easy to use once you get through the set up. I like how I just get an email for employee time off and the system tracks their time, I don't have to do it manually.

Nachteile

To my knowledge, there's not a way for salary employees to check in early or late.

Vorteile

User-friendly for the staff member in using the program

Nachteile

Termination of an employee. I found it took way too long to find the actual delete tool.

Vorteile

Very attractive interface, both from the employee and supervisor perspective. Eliminates the paper work and sign-offs we were using before, information is easy to use for payroll and helps managers have an idea of their staffing levels.

Nachteile

Initial set up was a bit clumsy, particularly when dealing with unusual accrual rules. We should have implemented over the Christmas break, doing the transfer during regular work is a bit like chasing a moving target.

Vorteile

Easy to use, easy set up, very affordable

Nachteile

I have not had an issue with this program

Vorteile

This site has really helped me keep track of which of my staff are taking time off and when, it allows me to look at an overall callender and see who will be working when and I dont have to make notes or think about it. It also lets me approve or not approve time off and adds the approved time off to my google calendar! Its genius!

Nachteile

There's nothing I don't like about it. If I had to choose something It would have to be trying to figure it out on y own, I did have to be shown how to use it by someone else.

Vorteile

It's incredibly intuitive to use particularly for the administrator who needs to navigate a more deeper into the program for reports and set up.

Nachteile

The rebranding Octopus arm character is incredibly juvenile no matter how smiley it is - makes the program look like a joke. It's supposed to be a trusted reliable support for employee data.

Vorteile

It is very helpful that you can set up different business rules in the software to help keep track of things like holidays, shifts an department.

Nachteile

Our shift hours vary and it was more difficult to set up those special shifts in the Time-Off module. We found a work around though.

Vorteile

Ease of set-up and use.

Nachteile

None really.

Vorteile

The most useful to me is the calendar view and the year end reports. I also like being able to color code days according to type. It was easy to set up. We don't use all of the tools available, but I haven't taken the time to really understand them.

Nachteile

It is difficult for users to reset their password and to reactivate a user. It does not let users request the current or previous day. Again, that is probably a setting that I just need to look through. The program is probably more robust than we need, but it works for our purposes.

Vorteile

This was a godsend to our company as everyone uses Excel spreadsheets to record absence. This system was easy to use, shows your accrual holidays, when a holiday is coming up and most importantly makes it easy for managers to approve.

Nachteile

You can customise this but that can take time as you would want to adapt this to your HR system aswell.

Vorteile

The software came at the right price and was very intuitive. Our users had nearly no questions when we implemented; everyone was just able to figure it out right away.

Nachteile

We only use this for time off, so having to do all of the employee roster items through "staff" can be tedious.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Saves time and helps plan time off. Reminders and reports are also very useful.

Nachteile

Had some issues with combining calendars for 2 different departments, but customer service helped me with that.

Vorteile

We were using a very manual and often inaccurate method for tracking our employee time off. Since getting Time Off Manager, we have been able to make this process much more accurate and efficient for both the managers and the employees. Software is very user friendly and users are up and running in minutes.

Vorteile

Ease of use, intuitive interface, ability to customize in pretty much any way

Nachteile

Took a while to set up mid-year and back-filling with days off taken thus far - would recommend setting up at the start of your time off cycle

Vorteile

Great system that meets our needs. We have struggled with time off management for over 10 years. Most other websites were too expensive for us and we knew we needed an electronic version to keep track of the time because we were doing that manually.

We appreciate the cost of time off manager, the ease of use and the fact that it is paperless.

Nachteile

For a person who does not know too much about balance accruals and time off policies to create these were a bit of a challenge and I am still not 100% certain we have created them successfully. Maybe some of the definitions could be explained in a bit more simple terms for some people like me, or a tutorial video could be created. There are some pretty good tutorial making software that are a little inexpensive.

Vorteile

the calendar and different kinds of reports

Nachteile

requirements that have to be set in a system to regulate how to request PTO

Vorteile

Has several features and functionality. But can also be used in a simple function for smaller companies.

Nachteile

Would like to see if all aspects are accessible from employee profiles. For example adding a time off request has to be completed by the drop down menu and re-selecting the employee. Also some employee drop downs are listed in order by first name others by last name.
