Killed the holiday spreadsheet

Being UK built, the statutory leave just works. The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up.

Pros

Being UK built, the statutory leave just works.

Cons

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

Perfect for a small team

You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people, and health and safety is a paid add on rather than included. Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs.

Cons

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