PurelyHR Reviews

Pros

Works smoothly and makes tracking time-off requests straightforward. Really helpful for staying organized with vacation scheduling.

Cons

It crashes occasionally and has some minor bugs that pop up from time to time.

Pros

I've found this to be a really efficient way to handle my HR needs. Making PTO requests and other basic tasks has been smooth sailing with no issues whatsoever.

Cons

I haven't really run into any major issues with this software. Everything I've needed has been there and I can't think of any features that were missing when I went looking for them.

Pros

Super accessible and runs smoothly, really simple to use and get things done quickly.

Cons

Can't view complete weekly staff schedules anymore.

Pros

Managing time off requests has never been simpler and the layout makes everything crystal clear and submitting new requests is also very easy. Getting approval notifications happens quickly and I can easily track the status of my submissions.

Cons

I haven't really encountered any significant drawbacks since I started using it in September. Like I said, the interface is good and doesnt require much of training.

Pros

The light theme looks great and everything is pretty interactive to figure out. Navigation feels smooth and I can find what I need without getting lost. Haven't tried other similar tools to compare though!

Cons

The interface feels dated and could use a refresh. Would really appreciate having a mobile app to manage my data on the go instead of being tied to the desktop.

Pros

Really appreciate how smooth everything feels when going through the system. Submitting time off requests is simple and communicating with my team about various needs has been very smooth.

Cons

Calendar could definitely use some work and the color-coding isn't easy, the design feels clunky and I wish I could just click on a day to request time off instead of going through extra steps.

Pros

I find submitting my weekly timesheets incredibly simple and managing vacation plus sick time is easy with the visual interface. The PTO calendar has become my go-to for checking holiday dates and seeing who's working versus who's taking time off on any particular day. Plus the email notifications really help me stay organized and on top of everything.

Cons

The printable calendar can be hard to follow since the data gets split across multiple pages & it would be great if there was a better way to view the vacation calendar before printing.

Pros

I can easily manage annual leave for my whole team through this platform, plus track sick days and leave balances. It keeps everyone informed about when colleagues will be out which makes planning so much smoother. Really helpful for day-to-day workforce management.

Cons

Lack of a dedicated desktop or mobile app is disappointing, everything has to be done through the web browser which isn't always convenient.

Pros

For me, this visibility is a game-changer. Being able to pull up one screen and instantly see my team's scheduled time off makes planning projects and coverage so much smoother

Cons

I honestly can't think of anything negative about my experience so far. Everything has worked well for me.

Pros

This new system has been a game-changer for me especially after struggling with our old manual method. I love that I can create all sorts of different time-off requests and the tracking is so simple with the detailed summaries it provides. The notifications to the team also work great. Honestly it has aligned everything by automatically handling so many small tasks that I used to have to do by hand which took forever.

Cons

Using up all my banked time-off is frustrating since the system only accepts 15-minute increments for partial days. I can't enter specific times like 9:18 - only 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, or 9:45 are allowed. This creates a real problem at year-end when leftover time becomes unusable. If I have 7.8 hours banked, I can only request 7.5 hours, leaving 0.3 hours that just goes to waste.

Pros

How easy it is to get around this system. Everything is so well-organized that learning all the different features was super easy.

Cons

I really can't think of any major issues with it.

Pros

The PTO request feature is really convenient, just select your time off and it automatically gets sent to your supervisor for approval.

Cons

It doesn't handle part-time employees properly when calculating counts.

Pros

I find the whole layout really easy to get the hang of. It's so user-friendly that I can go through all the features.

Cons

I don't think commenting on time off requests should be mandatory, it feels unnecessary.

Pros

It does a fantastic job of keeping all my employee information and leave requests perfectly organized.

Cons

No cons, everything seems very smooth and easy to understand.

Pros

Thanks to the really interactive interface, I can complete a time-off request in record time. The process is organized perfectly and all it takes is a few quick clicks to get it done.

Cons

Booking multiple non-consecutive days is impossible, you have to do them one at a time. Getting approval just to cancel vacation time is annoying and you cant even cancel a single day from a longer vacation without dealing with the whole thing.

Pros

I can view everyone's schedules which helps me figure out the best times to request time off.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any real downsides, everything feels easy to me.

Pros

The convenience of having everything centralized is fantastic and submitting time off requests couldn't be simpler.

Cons

The sections for profiles like notes, skills and values dont really add much value to my workflow.

Pros

I am really impressed with how intuitive the system is. Managing my vacation requests and overall time has become so much simpler and more simple for me.

Cons

I don't really have any big complaints though the notification system could use some improvement.

Pros

I can easily see when my coworkers are scheduled to be off which helps me plan my own time-off requests better and avoid conflicts.

Cons

Getting used to it takes some time since it works differently from other HR platforms I've used before.

Pros

Sleek and modern the interface looks and it's clean and professional. It's fantastic for tracking who's out of the office and remembering work anniversaries. The whole system is very interactive and requesting time off couldn't be easier.

Cons

Only minor annoyance is having to remember the company code when logging in from different devices, not a huge deal but it would be nice if there was an easier way.
