Right size for us

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

No payroll, so we run that separately.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training. The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up.

Pros

Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training.

Cons

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

Predictable price, no per head creep

Simple enough that our office manager runs it without training, and it replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon. Health and safety is a paid add on rather than included, but we live with it.
