PurelyHR is leave management software for small to medium-sized businesses. The software allows you to track your staff’s leave requests and approvals, as well as streamline your company's diverse time off policies and hierarchies. According to the vendor, Time-Off will take care of your accruals, carry-overs, banked time and all other confusing calculations, so you can focus on what most important, your people. This time off solution has evolved throughout the years…
Clocking in/out is easy on the multiple time punch options. Cleaning up punches is also easy when they need to be fixed due to power outages or internet outages. It also helps with approving time off requests by showing on a calendar anyone in that manager's team who might already have the day scheduled off.
PurelyHR helps to manage our timeclock with 19 locations that are spread over Middle TN/KY. Supervisors can approve request for time off, view a consolidated calendar showing all PTO scheduled. There are settings to block too many request in one day per our own guidelines. Time punches can easily be approved by the employee and then by a supervisor. PurelyHR helps make the timesheet process easy to manage and get reports for processing payroll in a timely manner
The interface of ADP ezLaborManager is simple to use, training only takes a couple of minutes for employees and a couple more for managers.
Time off requests are simple to add to the system, review, and approve or deny. There is a space for comments so that managers and employees can communicate directly on the time off request.
The employee and supervisor approval process confirms that the employees and managers agree on hours work to satisfy in errors in time before processing payroll.
Importing ADP ezLaborManager to RUN Powered by ADP only takes a couple minutes allowing you to get started on processing your payroll in a fraction of the time compared to manual time cards.
To cancel or delete a recurring schedule has too many steps for the managers to do so they ask me to do their updates for them.
Having several places to make updates is good but also can be bad. When you call ADP, everyone you talk with does things the way they were taught which in turns is you get a different answer. Then you have to remember, how did they do that again?
Sometimes less is more. If you update in one area, it does not cross over to another area that it may be tied to, then it's like you are doing double the work.
ADP is a good system to track information but, what it lacks is just some detail that provides time savings. Some instances they have made "updates" that tend to have been better previous to those "updates." One example is for staff to see how they have used their time off in the past. There should be an easy way to report and review such other than looking at pay periods. Pay statement and review and totals can also improve.
The support is not the best as they take much time to get back to you, days for some items as simple as a standard report. They do not know much about their own system I feel and it shows a lack of knowledge on their part. We have gotten wrong answers and it's not so user friendly.
The training provided was based on a generic database and reporting which made it difficult to compare when you had your own database to work at. It also didn't provide good written materials that would be useful after the training session. It was more geared towards the practice tests or applications within the training.
We use ADP Workforce Now for our U.S.-based employees and overall for reporting and information storing ADP is better. However, the customer service of ezLaborManager may be a little better. Also the sister program to process payroll at work is light years ahead of Workforce Now.
We have used Paychex Flex and found that PurelyHR provides a better fit for our team. It was important for our company to find an easy to manage PTO request and tracking system and a time keeping system with certain reports. We also like that PurelyHR has a feature where documents can be uploaded for employee review and sign off.
PurelyHR has saved our employees and supervisors valuable time (an average of an hour each pay period per employee to manager their time keeping and approval) from the old way of using manual timesheets along with emailing or faxing copies.
PurelyHR has solved our PTO tracking needs, offering an easy to use request and approval system
The PTO calendar shows all employees' schedule PTO on one calendar, this is a time saver for Operations Managers
