Perfect for a small team

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, and the flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. No complaints so far.

Pros

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs.

Cons

Health and safety is a paid add on rather than included.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up, and being UK built, the statutory leave just works. No complaints so far.

Pros

The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up.

Cons

No payroll, so we run that separately.

Predictable price, no per head creep

Mixed. Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, but you outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.
