PurelyHR Erfahrungen

The automation in approving time off is great! It really makes things easy and you can make it so there are a set of people that each need to approve in a certain order and then it can also email other people that arent approving it. Which info's people that need to know with the data of whats going on.

There is a limit in how much data you can put in your time off request comments. This is frustrating because we require each employee to list out all their functions and how they are going to have the covered while they are gone but it isn't long enough for some positions. However, we have a workaround and I hope they fix this soonish.

Ease of use for employees, very friendly interface. Plenty of depth for recording information beyond just time & attendance which was our primary motivator. Integration with Outlook and Google calendars is a time saver. LOTS of reporting capabilities.

Set up can be a bit confusing, still not sure we have everything set up quite right. Managers were a bit reluctant initially (but came on board once they realized the visibility the system gives them).

great price. good policy flexibility. attractive platform. user friendly for those on desktop computer.

There needs to be an app!!!!! The website is not very mobile friendly. The whole point is to encourage our employees to use the system but that is very difficult without an app. Most of our employees do not have desktops but rather mobile devices.

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!

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.

The ease of use and the ability to only use the time-off portion of the software. also the ability to access it from everywhere and any device.

Changes to Policies do not apply to users that already have the policy without re-applying the policies.

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.

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.

It was easy to sign up for the software, employees understood how to request PTO, managers and employees like to view their PTO balances.

I didn't fully understand how the calendar year renewed so I spent a lot of time trying to research how to correct employee PTO balances. The administrator guides were helpful. I wish there was more ability to make global updates.

Easy to use, user friendly interface
Fast and efficient
Zero maintenance required
Flexible: I was able to configure almost all business rules required for different countries of our operations
Support is very responsive and helpful
Cost efficient and hassle free

All the information for employee time off are available in one site, one calendar and to all managers, other employees if you choose.

Sometimes a bit of a game moving between screens and adding time off types etc
Don't like having to type out "delete" to verify the I want to delete a terminated employee

User-friendly for the staff member in using the program

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

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.

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.

The clear layout and ease of use. Cover most aspects of leave with easy to use functionality. We mainly use TOM features.

Transitioning from end of year to the next is always a time consuming task. It would be easy if their were carry over adjustable settings to address this.

My employer used PurelyHR before the software we currently use. purelyHR was very user friendly, pretty interface, and easy to understand/use.

I did not have anything negative happen with PurelyHR - although sometimes it took several clicks throughs to find something that I shouldn't have to click so many things for.

I can conveniently login and see my accrual for paid time off ( sick, vacation, personal ). As I use it I can see how many hours I have left . And if I need to make a request , the process is very easy.

Nothing ! The process is very easy to use this software

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Easy to implement; Easy to use; Currently using only the time off module. It is great for managers and employees to use; Time off calendar links to Google Calendar (with some special configuration); Staff report is easy to customize.

Customer service is exceptional!

Creating sub depts does not seem to be possible; Would be nice if we could export the Org Chart into a nice powerpoint style chart or at least a pdf. Would be great if it can integrate/have links with an existing payroll provider in Canada. For example, Ceridian & Nethris. This would be great for things like updating time taken and employee personal information like address. This is more of a suggestion for future updates for PurelHR.

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

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

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.

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.

It's cost-effective and does the job. allows quite a high degree of customisation in assigning holiday types and renewals

the user experience is simply terrible, especially after the merge into pure light now information is scattered and very difficult to find

the calendar and different kinds of reports

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

Ease of use. Calendar function. Setting up timed email reports. Management reporting. Customer support team has answered any questions we had pretty much instantly.

Customizing accruals for midyear hires is a bit difficult. All else is great. Would like to see the customization function set up a bit more streamlined.

The ease of set up.

Still learning how it works on renewing time offs on Employees anniversary.
