    I'd say PeopleGuru is well suited for most businesses -- a more significant (200+ employees) company may want to use something with a sleeker design. This provider is willing to work with cannabis businesses, which is unusual for payroll providers now.

    Zoho People is well suited for organizations where they need a self service HR tool for tasks like attendance, leave management and time tracking. It is perfect for offices where employees like to work independently and benefit from easily accessing and managing their own HR records. But it is less suitable where internet is an issue or GPS is unavailable which makes the process of check-in/check-out frustrating.

    • Data Management- It's useful to have all data related to HR in one space, especially using the cloud. Separating data into relevant categories also makes administrative work a breeze.
    • Employee Resources- Having a central place for employees to reach out to HR is ideal.
    • Customization- Creation of forms is especially useful for a growing business.
    • Integration- Integrates well with other systems.

    Cons
    PeopleGuru™
    • Position change future dating
    • Timecard reporting including approval (multiple reports to show timecard with approval)
    • W2 Reconciliation Reports (had to calculate wages to verify accuracy)
    • Benefit Plan effective dating & how it affects the deduction effective dating (results in payroll errors if not careful)

    • Check in and GPS issues - The app sometimes struggles with location detection during check-in which delays logging in
    • Limited offline access - Zoho People should have had an offline functionality making it difficult for employees to check in or log hours when internet connection is an issue
    • Clunky user interface - I personally find the interface bit too cluttered which makes navigation difficult

    The implementation process was cumbersome and stressful. It took an extremely long time to complete this process. We had to learn a lot on the fly because this was the first implementation for all of us. The process would have been a lot easier if there was a third party that could assist with a lot of the work required to transfer and verify data.

    PeopleGuru is better than other cannabis-friendly payroll systems, like CheckWriters or MyPaperlessOffice (companies so small they were not available in your dropdown). It is not as good as bigger companies that are not cannabis-friendly, like ADP or Paylocity. ADP is super expensive but given the choice I would be with Paylocity over PeopleGuru.

    • For us, the time/attendance tracking function of Zoho People has done a lot to increase accountability for scheduling and attendance. Since we are a volunteer staff, scheduling can be difficult, and this has made it so much easier to quantify and track everyone's weekly time commitments.
