About Access PeopleHR

Small and medium businesses need to do all the same HR tasks that large-scale enterprise businesses do – but without the large HR team to do it.

Access People HR exists to solve this problem.

Time and time again, we are contacted by business owners, operations leaders, and finance managers who are spending time (and money) managing holiday requests, scheduling interviews, and preparing monthly reports on their key HR metrics. And it’s just not what they went into business to do.

Our team of experts get a buzz out of helping people like you automate your manual HR tasks, giving you back the time to do whatever it is you love, whilst giving your employees the great experience that they expect.

So, whether you’re a small 10-person business with no HR department or a growing business looking to implement a market-leading HRIS, we’re here for you.

Let’s delve a bit deeper into our specific modules and features.

*Features*

The employee records feature allows companies to store and manage employee information in one centralised location. This includes personal information, employment history, and other relevant data.

Our performance management feature helps you track employee performance over time and provides tools for creating performance reviews, setting goals and tracking progress.

We also have a recruitment feature which allows you to manage the entire hiring process, from posting job listings to tracking applications, and scheduling interviews.

Time tracking and absence management is also a feature available to users. Time tracking software offers a flexible way to record timesheets and track attendance, allowing you to manage employees’ time in a way that works best for you. And absence management software gives users a holistic understanding of employee absence.

Workflow management software (Ripple®) is also available for customers on our ‘Elite’ package. This feature allows users to build personalised workflows that encourage collaboration, save time and automate once difficult tasks for smoother work processes.

We also offer a multitude of payroll services, from payroll software to a payroll outsourcing bureau, giving customers a simple and reliable way to ensure their staff get paid correctly. In 2022, we acquired Paycircle - a cloud-based, collaborative payroll platform for modern payroll bureaus – giving more depth and flexibility to our payroll offering.

*Pricing*

Access PeopleHR provides a flexible, and affordable, three-tier pricing structure. Our basic package starts at just £5 per employee, per month, and £9 for our most advanced solution.

*Focus on what’s important*

If you’re a small to medium-sized business looking to improve your HR efficiency and scalability, Access PeopleHR is for you. With us in your corner, you can focus on growing your business, safe in the knowledge that your HR needs are being taken care of by a reliable and effective system.

Access People HR is part of The Access Group family, and together we are supporting the world of HR. From supplying HRIS’ for all sized businesses, providing learning content, payroll systems, and much more. This means that as you grow, we’re able to grow with you – supporting you every step of your journey.

People HR Saves me valuable time, it generates reports easily and gives me the confidence my records are secure and GDPR compliant.

Pros

The cost and scale-ability was our immediate reason for shortlisting People HR. It was very important the employees could correct their own data. We like the mobile app for the team so that employee can upload expenses on the go or book a holiday at any time. As the Administrator I find the software very user friendly and bulk uploads save me many hours of work. When we first uploaded our data it was a really simple process. I use this for 3 companies with different account levels and it works perfectly for each company.

Cons

I would like to be able to use the recruiter tools and the performance management but the permanent cost to upgrade outweigh the time they can save me when operating a small company.

The worst to be honest, useless app, why you can't submit expenses on the PC version of the app is beyond me.. why only allow expenses to be submitted on the app. Fine if you can guarantee it works but there is no alternative.

Pros

There are very little pros for the mobile app - it's useless and never works properly

Cons

Sometimes the app works and sometimes it says you need to launch in Microsoft Edge.. when my default browser on my phone is Microsoft Edge. Clear the cache and cookies and still it says 'open in Edge?' even though it is opening in Edge. Tried to report this numerous times to PeopleHR and they give no helpful advice. Sometimes it works, sometimes you get the error message and it just loops around. Our internal IT have checked everything and there are no security restrictions, and as it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't it's a software issue. Also when you can get onto the platform to submit expenses, if you save them before submitting they just disappear.

The real strength of people is its people! It's refreshing to find a company that walks its talk on culture and employee brand. They are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and VERY long suffering and patient with non-technical customers! From the sales team to the help desk team - I cannot praise them high enough.

Pros

The features are very good - wide range and very good value for money

Cons

Very little really . The only criticism is that some of the administrative features are accessed direct from employee records instead of in background settings like you would expect. An example of this is adding a new document - you have to open an employee record, and go to the add documents - and you are then given an option to create a new template. This is not very intuitive. There is an excellent logbooks facility in which you can create custom logbooks for every conceivable record you might want - this also was accessed from an employees record but they have just moved this to its own section in admin settings. They need to do the same for the other areas as well.

We have only just commenced using the software, so this review is purely related to the implementation team. The process has been very smooth throughout. [sensitive content hidden] was always on hand to answer any questions before we made the purchase and [sensitive content hidden] provided help and support during the implementation period. Both were friendly, easy to contact and quick to respond to all queries which made the process quick and easy. [sensitive content hidden] , who conducted our training, was very knowledgeable about the system. Thanks team!

Pros

The software seems to cover everything we need it to administrate our HR needs. It is intuitive to use and the help videos and articles provide further detail when needed.

Cons

Currently the software seems to do most things that we need. We were not able to use the LOS leave accrual rules as there wasn't the option to award our staff with an extra day on their service anniversary.

Employment hero looked great but data was not hosted in the UK which was too high risk for us. Breathe didn't have as many features as PeopleHR.
