Simple HR that just works

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, and simple enough that our office manager runs it without training. No complaints so far.

Pros

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs.

Cons

You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.

Predictable price, no per head creep

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs. Only real gripe is that health and safety is a paid add on rather than included.

Predictable price, no per head creep

Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training, and the flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. Health and safety is a paid add on rather than included, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

Does the basics properly

Reporting is basic beyond the essentials, and no payroll, so we run that separately. Being UK built, the statutory leave just works, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Being UK built, the statutory leave just works.

Cons

Reporting is basic beyond the essentials.
