At first it made me anxious, I thought i was going to be complicated, once I started to use it in a very short time. I saw it was so easy and efficient.
Pros
It is fast and efficient and most of all easy to use
Cons
I can't say that I have anything not to like, it is an easy program. I just need to take time to show other workers that I supervise how to use the system, when or if they get a computer/tablet, etc. Some workers do not own, cellular, tablets, computers. Therefor I need to submit their work time.

Compared to other HRIS that we've used, set-up was easy, maintenance is a piece of cake, the price is incredible and customer support is superb.
Pros
Folks HR does everything our organization needs it to do at a very reasonable monthly cost. The set-up was relatively easy and their customer support is excellent.
Cons
Nothing that I like the least, in fact, the opposite. They keep improving the platform and sometimes that means that training tools are a bit out of date, but a quick email to customer support gets things straightened out quickly.

Folks makes everything so much easier
Reviewed on 2024/07/01
Pros
The ease of adding hours to the timesheet and approving vacation time.
Cons
Haven't yet figured out a way to differentiate between paid vacation time vs unpaid vacation time, they both seem to drop down the total balance.

I have had no issues using Folks HR. I do wish there was a mobile option.

Pros
Easy to follow, everything is well laid out.
Cons
Doesn't track accumulated sick and vacation time, only what can be taken over the course of a full year. Cannot see in real time.
Would like an app for it.
