Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. 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

Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. 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.

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

What does not

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Leave requests left email and never came back

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

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

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Fine platform, priced above what we use

The configuration took longer than promised, and it works well now. Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. 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

Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. Managers found it easy enough to use.

What does not

Performance management is basic. BCEA leave had to be configured rather than selected.

Response from the vendor19 Aug 2023

Thank you for the review. We are glad the compliance side is working well for you. On the reporting point, we would like to show you what is possible with the custom report builder, so please book a session with our team.

Managers use it without being chased

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. 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.

The audit trail saved us at a CCMA hearing

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. 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

Clean mobile app for leave requests and approvals. 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.
