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. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork.

What does not

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

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. 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

Leave accrual that follows BCEA rather than a US default. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT.

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Good for leave, thin everywhere else

Solid for the core, but we still keep a spreadsheet for the reporting we actually need. Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. 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

Genuinely easy for line managers to use without training. Managers found it easy enough to use.

What does not

There is no local payroll integration. The mobile experience is weaker than the desktop.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

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.

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

Onboarding admin dropped by half

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. 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.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

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. 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.
