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.

Having used a number of HR Platforms, People HR is by far the best

Think you can tell I really love People HR, it makes my job as a HR Consultant so much easier having everything in one place.
I particularly like the queries facility, and probably use it everyday for something.
Also if I have a question I usually try the 'get help' tab but if I struggle the help desk guys are great too.

Pros

People HR is a very intuitive piece of software, its just so easy to operate.
We've watched it grow as our business needs change, not only can you use it for basic tasks like monitoring holidays and absence.
It is possible to run the full employee life cycle of an employee from recruitment via the ATS tab to monitoring the employee's progress via the progress tab.
We've recently used the facility to upload payslips to our system which will be a huge saving in stamps and stuffing envelopes!

Cons

Sometimes the queries facility baffles me, there are so many options, not really a con just a comment.

I have worked with many HR systems over the years which have been restrictive, cumbersome, difficult to use. PeopleHR is none of these. It is an easy to use , flexible, reliable system which continues to improve month on month. The support function is second to none. They always resolve any queries or problems quickly and efficiently and the' how to' guides are very helpful in both written and video format. Highly recommended.

Pros

Cloud based so easy to access from anywhere including mobile access
Easy to use and navigate with great support centre and advice readily available either online or by phone
Supports all transactional activity and much much more including performance management, recruitment (end to end), training
Templates provided which can be adapted to suit the indidvidal business
Easy to run and export queries and reports
Continually being improved with end user feedback taken on board
Great value for money

Cons

Expenses module currently only available by mobile App.
Bulk upload functionality limited at present

Awful and unprofessional. The sales team very nice but as soon as we signed the contract and paid, we were asked to pay 20K more which we obviously refused, even that they confirmed before signing that there would be no further payments. No one has reached out to us, we have been chasing for over a month now to start with the implementation and no one is getting back to us. Stay away from it and listen to the reviews. We are currently seeking legal advice on this as it is appalling.

Pros

The software has a lot of capabilities and comes across as an amazing solution

Cons

I have not been able to use it yet as they have not kicked off the project

Alternatives Considered

iTrent and Ciphr

Reasons for Choosing Access PeopleHR

The system was not fit for the nature of the business and is unable to cope with casual workforce needs. Very basic, recommend for companies with monday to friday kind of jobs but not for anything more complex.

Switched From

IRIS Cascade

Reasons for Switching to Access PeopleHR

The product comes across as very modern and a overall solution to our needs, even that it was significantly more expensive, the payroll and timesheets part was very thorough for a business with lots of casual workers.

Great System and Very USer Friendly

Reviewed on 31/07/2017

Pros

>Query Builder - Easy to use report builder to extract information from the system, I use this feature for the bulk of our payroll data. You can customise each query and save it so you can use again. It also has a filter feature so you can filter your data for a specific period, location or company. You can extract most data from the system using this feature.

> Employee Planner - Very easy and user friendly layout, can instantly see sicknesses, absence and holiday for the current month or year. Easy for managers to log and manage.

>Documents - Easy to store all employee personnel documents electronically. It also has a signature option where you can request for a document to be signed. We use this feature to issue contract, changes in terms and regulator training. You can also extract a report using the query feature to check who has/hasn't signed.

Cons

the only con I have is probably the dashboard could probably be updated and be more interactive. Also the data when you export into excel (especially sickness/absence) comes out in a custom format which when doesn't work from a payroll point of view when using for deductions.

Our managers love it, and our staff love it.

Pros

Very friendly customer support team. Very user friendly. The start-up key is that administrators get familiar with the access level and such very well after understanding the feathers and functions via introductory sessions.
Place for general company information and forms; onboarding of new employees that are off-site; automated time off requests/approval; data and set or custom reports at your fingertips and will convert to excel with click of a button! Track turnover; very easy to give access to certain people or give people only access to certain documents.
Easy to use and the help online is extraordinary! The on line videos and information is great and if you cant find what you need its easy to send an email and their response has always been within 2 hours and spot on!

Cons

This is a tough one, since it's difficult to come up with something that doesn't work, or doesn't have a solution in the works. Maybe the mobile capability could be improved may be an app would be a good idea :)
Overall, is this a very minor, infrequent problem.
