The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

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

Adoption took longer than the vendor suggested

Solid for the core, but we still keep a spreadsheet for the reporting we actually need. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. Leave management works reliably.

What does not

BCEA leave had to be configured rather than selected. The mobile experience is weaker than the desktop.

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. 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

Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Fine platform, priced above what we use

It has reduced admin, just not as much as the demo suggested. Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. The employee record is well organised.

What does not

BCEA leave had to be configured rather than selected. There is no local payroll integration.

Good for leave, thin everywhere else

It has reduced admin, just not as much as the demo suggested. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. The employee record is well organised.

What does not

There is no local payroll integration. Performance management is basic.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.
