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.

Reasons for Switching to PurelyHR

BambooHR told me our 15+ company was too small to use their product.

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.

Has mentioned before we have been using PurelyHR for 10+ year and we are quite satisfied we would recommend for time-off.

Pros

Simplicity and customization are made quite easy for administrator and employee's onboarding. We currently only use the time tracking portion of PurelyHR but we have been using for more than 10 years with great satisfaction. The cost has been quite positive as a not for profit.

Cons

As far as time-off module goes, I think there's many reporting options and sometimes its hard to find on the first go the exact report type you need but there are some many options that what you are looking for does exist.

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

One thing I would like the least is the inability to access certain reports after an employee is terminated.

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.
