Leave requests left email and never came back

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. 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.

What works

Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Onboarding admin dropped by half

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

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. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Leave requests left email and never came back

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Leave accrual that follows BCEA rather than a US default. 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

Modular pricing, so you pay only for what you switch on. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training. Document storage with e signature removed a printing step entirely.

What does not

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