It replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon.

Right size for us

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, and it replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon. You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people, but we live with it.

Pros

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs.

Cons

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

Simple HR that just works

The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. That said, no payroll, so we run that separately and reporting is basic beyond the essentials.

Pros

Cons

No payroll, so we run that separately.

Right size for us

Reporting is basic beyond the essentials, and no payroll, so we run that separately. Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training, which is about the only positive.

Pros
