I find PurelyHR to be a huge time saver and it gives employees the autonomy for their time off requests. It's a great tracking tool for absenteeism and just general information, like work anniversaries and birthdays. I recommend this software highly.
Pros
I like the different options for admin to share with employees as well as all the reports you can create. It is also very easy to put in time off and I like the calendar share so at a glance everyone can see who is off. I also like being able to code my different departments. There are many many things I like so I can't say that I like something the MOST, I like it all!
Cons
I don't like not being able to edit at times after someone has put in a time off request, especially if it is for multiple days. I find it easier to just delete the original and start over.

No more chasing of papers, following up on requests. Approval by the manager is immediately accessible for payroll. Great to be able to see at a glance who is in/out of the office. Has been a key component in implementing our 'work from remote' program.
Pros
Ease of use for employees, very friendly interface. Plenty of depth for recording information beyond just time & attendance which was our primary motivator. Integration with Outlook and Google calendars is a time saver. LOTS of reporting capabilities.
Cons
Set up can be a bit confusing, still not sure we have everything set up quite right. Managers were a bit reluctant initially (but came on board once they realized the visibility the system gives them).
Response from Ironflow Technologies
Hi Annette,
We wanted to thank you for this very detailed and thoughtful review.
We are happy to hear that PurelyHR helped improve visibility for your managers and implement your "work from home" program.
Our success team is always available to review the way your policies are set up if you have questions or concerns. Reach out to us anytime. We'd love to help.
Thanks again for the review.

Pros
great price. good policy flexibility. attractive platform. user friendly for those on desktop computer.
Cons
There needs to be an app!!!!! The website is not very mobile friendly. The whole point is to encourage our employees to use the system but that is very difficult without an app. Most of our employees do not have desktops but rather mobile devices.

We want to Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback. We truly appreciate everything you've shared.

Made my life so much easier in terms of staff time off and managing my own time off
Pros
This site has really helped me keep track of which of my staff are taking time off and when, it allows me to look at an overall callender and see who will be working when and I dont have to make notes or think about it. It also lets me approve or not approve time off and adds the approved time off to my google calendar! Its genius!
Cons
There's nothing I don't like about it. If I had to choose something It would have to be trying to figure it out on y own, I did have to be shown how to use it by someone else.
Response from Ironflow Technologies
Hi Isabella,
Yay! We are so happy that PurelyHR was able to help you.

Tracking PTO using an accrual method. It was a transparent way to let employees know their PTO balances and Managers to track schedules/PTO usages.
Pros
It was easy to sign up for the software, employees understood how to request PTO, managers and employees like to view their PTO balances.
Cons
I didn't fully understand how the calendar year renewed so I spent a lot of time trying to research how to correct employee PTO balances. The administrator guides were helpful. I wish there was more ability to make global updates.
Response from Ironflow Technologies
Hi Molly,
First, we want to thank you for leaving such a kind review. We're thrilled to hear about the results after implementing PurelyHR in your organization.
We've noted down your feedback on the calendar year renewal and will review the process to see if there's something that can be done.
We wish you all the best in 2019. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to us!

Before implementing Purely HR we were using paper sheets and a log book to keep track of PTO. Now with Purely HR we have greatly reduced the amount of hours in logging time off and the users are now able to see there balance without having to calculate it or ask HR.
Pros
The ease of use and the ability to only use the time-off portion of the software. also the ability to access it from everywhere and any device.
Cons
Changes to Policies do not apply to users that already have the policy without re-applying the policies.

When employees and/or mangers remember to put the time off - sick, appt. etc vs just vacation it makes payroll so much easier. i like that the information can be shown to who you choose. E.g Mangers can see entire staff or just their departments.
When I did have issues early on in the set up of the system their customer service team was quick to respond an walk me through. Overall I find it easy and self explanatory to use after the initial set up.
Pros
All the information for employee time off are available in one site, one calendar and to all managers, other employees if you choose.
Cons
Sometimes a bit of a game moving between screens and adding time off types etc
Don't like having to type out "delete" to verify the I want to delete a terminated employee

I could not wish for a better overall experience with the Purely HR software/program. The ease of navigation and simplicity of time off calculations is all wonderful.
Pros
I am the Program Director of over 60 employees and the Purely HR program helps me save time and lessens stress for me on a daily basis. We use to have to compile reports on paper, or add/subtract leave on a spreadsheet, and now that has all changed for the better.
Cons
There are some issues in the calculation of leave for my new staff, but this is a minor inconvenience.

Pros
Ease of use. The program is very easy to use for both myself and our users. I like the fact that we can customize it for days and not just hours.
Cons
Nothing really. Maybe the recent price increase. Also, sometimes the reports print in a font that is too small. And there are a few areas within the system that still show as hours rather than days (we like to have days like. 833 days.)

Payroll will be able to complete their job much MUCH faster once everything is up and running. No chasing people for little slips of paper saying whether they were or were not allowed to take leave.
Pros
Looks very nice and is looking nicer and nicer as time goes on. The system is easy to use and learn for staff and the administrative side of things is easy (once learnt) and offers a range of options to facilitate your HR requirements.
Pricing is also acceptable for the time it saves in other areas. Unfortunately we still use slips of paper as well to sign off leave .
Cons
The reporting needs work and booking leave also. Customisation for international users. For Example - we do not call it Vacation but rather Leave so calling it Vacation can be confusing at first.
The ability to change descriptions would be good. This goes for clocking in and out as well. I don't want to have to select what type of work I am doing if all work is the same. Rather than it noting 'No Job Code' we can change it. Just for aesthetics and ease of reading.
Also booking the vacation, the delays in changing it from single to multiple days. Why not have the system figure that out from the days you select? Click one day, one day. Drag to multiple, multiple...
