Purely HR provides a straightforward approach for me to request time off and convey the time I would like to take off from work. It makes it simple to seek time off on the day of or after work has been cancelled. This functionality was not included in any of the prior tools I tried. Simply HR facilitates communication between me and the firm while I am unable to work.

Pros

The software's ease of use makes it simple to manage schedules. I enjoy how you can view your summary of utilised time off and future time off, as well as the summaries of balances in each area. It's straightforward to use, and the information is presented in a highly user-friendly way. The data is organised in such a way that I can rapidly interpret it. The finest aspect, in my opinion, is how simple it is to sign up.

Cons

I can't seem to find the tool that allows you to view how many hours of PTO you'll have at a later date. It's simple to find what you're looking for. I prefer tools that are simple to use. I haven't had any terrible encounters on this platform, therefore I can't say I have any dislikes. I wish the Staff dashboard wasn't so devoid of information for end users.

After about a year of PurelyHr, I feel like there's so much I can still do. I'm still learning things to this day.

Pros

I am a huge fan of how employees are able to add and customize their talents, skills, goals, values, and qualifications.

Cons

Theres a very limited amount of tutorial videos.

Not great. It rarely does what it is supposed to.

Pros

The timesheets are relatively simple to use

Cons

You can not remove a holiday after the time sheets are out. It cant handle the hours our staff do, so it messes up every single holiday stat pay. It never accrues properly.

I would highly recommend to any business looking for a reasonable priced program. It may not have every available option you can get elsewhere. But we found it covers off what we need, without the big price tag.

Pros

PurelyHR is incredibly user friendly and provides us what we need for our payroll. It tracks accurate time off accruals and time off used. The timesheet module is very easy to use for both admin and staff.
For the services it provides you can’t beat the price.

Cons

My only real dislike is that the remote access through a phone is very limited.

PurelyHR is a great product overall. It helps our company manage time off and timesheets in a great way for all! Very easy to use and at a reasonable price. Their support is always very quick and helpful as well.

Pros

Cons

Really nothing it is a great product! I guess the only thing would be that I would like to see the admin have the ability to change holiday time on the timesheets manually if needed.

It has made our time tracking process a breeze. Employees can now log in and see how much time off they have available and request time off easily. And that fact that it allows us to easily track our banked time is great.

Pros

I like that it is easy to use and all of the employees can access it easily, it came with great instructions so everyone is able to do what they need to do. It is easy to make changes to time once it has been entered and it allows a multiple level approval process for granting time off.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to remember where to go to get information about time that has been used. A new report that would just show how one employees time has been used would be helpful.

The overall experience was satisfactory, but I am unsure if there is a system in place for developers to receive customer feedback on the issues mentioned above.

Pros

A user-friendly application with flexible configuration tailored to the organization's needs. Excellent French-speaking support; good understanding of issues and attentive listening. One of the best assistances I have ever received.

Cons

Vacation balances are often inaccurate. While vacation time is prorated at the beginning of employment, it is not recalculated at the end of the employment relationship. This inconsistency results in additional recalculations of the balance whenever an employee leaves. Additionally, there is no phone app available for employees to check their vacation balances.

The ease of keeping track of how many days employees get off and when they take it off and why. Admin made much quicker and easier. Streamlined the whole Paid Time off process. It automatically gives days each year on their hire date.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
