PurelyHR Reviews

Pros

For over a decade, we've been very satisfied using the platform exclusively for time tracking. Its simplicity and customization make it easy for both our administrators and employees to learn, which streamlines onboarding. As a non-profit, the cost-effectiveness has also been a significant advantage for our organization.

Cons

I really like the time-off module, though the sheer number of reporting options can be overwhelming at first, it sometimes takes a few tries to find the exact report I need. The upside is that with so many choices, what I'm looking for is almost always in there somewhere

Pros

PurelyHR is remarkably user-friendly for everyone, staff find it efficient, managers navigate it with ease, and even administrative tasks run smoothly.

Cons

Honestly, there is really nothing we don't like about it. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a dedicated app for my phone or iPad.

Pros

It's just very easy to use and friendly. Honestly, it works like a charm.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about the software at all. It's been great for us.

Pros

Setting up the web-based system was very smooth. There was no setup needed for end users, which was a huge relief.

Cons

finding the time-off summary a bit hard to follow. the information about total time taken also isn't very clear.

Pros

even without any expert to train me, I found it simple to operate and easy to learn. I managed to figure it all out by myself.

Cons

I wish it would show past years records of leave taken by staff. It would be helpful if it could display that previous history.

Pros

One thing I really appreciate is how we can customize the solutions for the different labor laws in our global offices.

Cons

Sometimes customizing things can be difficult but I have to say, the support team is always really helpful and gets me through it.

Pros

I love how we can customize it to meet different labor laws at our offices around the world. It's really flexible!

Cons

Figuring out how to do certain things can be a bit of a guessing game sometimes. I often end up clicking around until I find the right path

Pros

It's so easy for employees to request time off, which is a feature I really like.

Cons

id like if we could add our own custom fields to the calendar to use it more like a team calendar. For example, it would be great to put in birthdays.

Pros

Managing time off for employees is simple and I find most of the set-up to be easy.

Cons

I am not a fan of how carry-over time and current vacation balances are shown. It's confusing and hard to figure out. Also, some of the settings are hard to locate once you're up and running and need to make adjustments.

Pros

The best part for me is how its an easy to use system for managing time-off requests. The software gives me peace of mind by how it records everything, from the requests to the approvals or rejections for both the employee and employer.

Cons

Let's be honest, calculations are my least favorite thing to do but I have to deal with them in this tool.

Pros

You really can't beat the reasonable price. It's also a stable product without a lot of downtime and the PTO management is easy.

Cons

The performance module could use a few more options and it can be a bit difficult for new managers to get the hang of. Also, uploading user files has to be done one at a time, which is a real struggle.

Pros

We only used this tool for time-off tracking and it worked great for that.

Cons

Learning the system was tricky because you have to load a profile in a few different screens. Also, the termination screen is limiting and it would be great to have an 'OTHER' option instead of being forced to pick from a short list. We don't really use it for tracking terminations though, so it wasn't a big deal for us.

Pros

The setup is really easy and employees have no trouble using it at all.

Cons

It doesn't carry over vacation balances to the next calendar year, which is a problem for us.

Pros

What I enjoy most is the user-friendly experience. The portal is very beginner-friendly.

Cons

One thing I really don't like is that you can't access certain reports after an employee is terminated.

Pros

Honestly, for the services it provides, you can't beat the price. It's user-friendly and gives us what we need for payroll like accurately tracking time off accruals and time used. Both admins and staff find the timesheet module very easy to use.

Cons

My only real complaint is that using it on my phone is very limited. The remote access isn't great.

Pros

I really like how easy this tool is to use. I can quickly put in PTO info and see everyone's time-off at a glance on the calendar. It's simple but works great.

Cons

I've had trouble connecting it to our current HR software (Gusto) as a third-party tool. It hasn't been easy.

Pros

It's packed with features but still has an interactive interface. For our small business, it's a great way to get the same tools that big companies have in their expensive HR software.

Cons

The initial billing process was frustrating and took longer than expected to resolve. However, it was a one-time issue that was resolved fairly quickly.

Pros

My favorite thing is how easy it is for everyone, from managers to staff. I also love the way it looks and the reports are very simple to use and give us exactly the info we need.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't come across anything I don't like about it.

Pros

I find it really simple to find my way around. The layout is clear and I didn't need to constantly ask for help to figure things out.

Cons

As an admin, pulling up vacation balances for my team always took a little extra work. It wasn't as clear or simple as other platforms I've used.

Pros

its just easy to use. my employees love the transparency and being able to submit their own requests. It keeps our whole team organized with time off. we also love that we can limit how many people are off at once, so we never end up short-staffed.

Cons

submitting requests for multiple days off can be tricky especially when it's around a holiday.
