Employees actually log in, which surprised me

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Leave requests left email and never came back

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Modular pricing, so you pay only for what you switch on. 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

Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. 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

Leave accrual that follows BCEA rather than a US default. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

What does not

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

Managers use it without being chased

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. 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

Modular pricing, so you pay only for what you switch on. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Adoption took longer than the vendor suggested

The configuration took longer than promised, and it works well now. Leave accrual that follows BCEA rather than a US default. 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. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Leave accrual that follows BCEA rather than a US default. Leave management works reliably.

What does not

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