Does leave properly

The recruitment module is expensive for what it does, and payroll is a separate subscription, which was not obvious at first. Part day leave calculates correctly, which the last system did not, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Part day leave calculates correctly, which the last system did not.

Cons

The recruitment module is expensive for what it does.

Good core, modules get pricey

The org chart updates itself as people join and leave, and onboarding checklists mean new starters get set up consistently. Payroll is a separate subscription, which was not obvious at first, but we live with it.

Pros

The org chart updates itself as people join and leave.

Cons

Payroll is a separate subscription, which was not obvious at first.

Modular pricing suited us

The holiday spreadsheet is gone and nobody misses it. That said, the 250 employee ceiling is real and we are approaching it and the modules add up quickly once you want more than leave.

Pros

The holiday spreadsheet is gone and nobody misses it.

Cons

The 250 employee ceiling is real and we are approaching it.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

The 250 employee ceiling is real and we are approaching it, and payroll is a separate subscription, which was not obvious at first. Starting with leave only and adding modules later suited our budget, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Starting with leave only and adding modules later suited our budget.

Cons

The 250 employee ceiling is real and we are approaching it.
