Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Large integration catalogue and a proper open API. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Employees log in voluntarily, which is rare. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Leave requests left email and never came back

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Employees log in voluntarily, which is rare. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Reporting a board will actually read. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Data is hosted offshore, which our information officer had to sign off.

Used for 1 to 2 years

Leave requests left email and never came back

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Reporting a board will actually read. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Large integration catalogue and a proper open API. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for less than 6 months

Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. The best onboarding workflow in the category. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Reporting a board will actually read. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.
