Simple HR that just works

Mixed. Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, but no payroll, so we run that separately.

Pros

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs.

Cons

No payroll, so we run that separately.

Predictable price, no per head creep

It replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon, and simple enough that our office manager runs it without training. No payroll, so we run that separately, but we live with it.

Pros

It replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon.

Cons

No payroll, so we run that separately.

Simple HR that just works

Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training. Only real gripe is that you outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

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

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