Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

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. 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

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Health and safety compliance handled as part of the relationship. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Industrial relations specialists who will attend the CCMA with you. 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

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Managers use it without being chased

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work.

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

The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Employment equity plans built to survive an inspection. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

Works, but BCEA leave needed configuring

It has reduced admin, just not as much as the demo suggested. Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. 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

Skills development and B-BBEE scorecard support. Managers found it easy enough to use.

What does not

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