"Quick onboarding, but missing HR essentials, clunky reporting, and hard-to-reach support"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

Loading a new employee has improved and is now quicker and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

There are many small things missing from this system. The inability to record disabilities, allergies etc., is frustrating. I would like to see a better dashboard that shows me anniversaries and birthdays that are coming up, new starter dates and leavers. I wish you could split a annual leave day into TOIL and holiday allowance. The carryover of holiday is frustrating as it does not work for part-time people and it causes me a lot of manual work. It is also very hard to get hold of anyone to help with support. I find the reporting section very frustrating and not easy to use at all. It is also frustrating that it signs you out of the system so quickly. Sometimes I find myself having to log in several times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for taking the time to share such honest feedback, I really appreciate it. It’s great to hear that onboarding new employees has improved and is now quicker and easier for you.

I’m sorry to hear about the frustrations you’ve experienced across other areas, particularly around reporting, holiday management, dashboards and support. I completely understand how time-consuming manual workarounds and difficulty getting help can be — that’s not the experience we want for you or your team.

There’s a lot in your feedback that would be really valuable to explore further, especially around specific use cases like part-time holiday carryover, TOIL splits and the visibility you need on dashboards. I’d genuinely welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you and see how we can help.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly at taryn.schutzler@theaccessgroup.com - I’d be more than happy to pick this up with you.

"Cost-Effective HR Solution"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I use Access PeopleHR for its HRIS features to help onboard and manage our teams efficiently. I like that it provides us with one central location to track onboarding processes, ensuring a single source of truth for our team members. The software is very cost-efficient, and it has allowed us to integrate all of our team into one simple system with relative ease. I appreciate the good pricing and how the holiday accruals work smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I think the implementation support was a little brief which made rollout a little more complicated. Also, we cannot track multiple rates for hourly employees. We just needed more face time during implementation, and I would like to be able to track multiple hourly rates for employees and have them link to Paycircle, their payroll tool, better. The initial setup was challenging due to the lack of implementation support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized Solution with Room for UI Improvement"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I use Access PeopleHR to keep employee records organized and updated, making tracking job changes like promotions, salary updates, and reassignments smooth. I appreciate how it helps keep everything in one place, which makes it easy for me to find and update whatever is needed and keeps processes organized. I find the document storage feature great for keeping things in one place and organized. I also really like the tracking feature because it makes researching information a lot faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I wish it had a more user friendly interface. Some areas feel really outdated. It could also use smoother navigation between sections so there's no need for endless clicking. It's a bit more cluttered compared to other HRIS systems. Some menus aren't clearly labeled, and if you're not familiar with the system it can make it easy to get lost and take more time to get what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Jocelyn. It’s great to hear how you’re using PeopleHR to keep employee records organised and track changes like promotions and salary updates, having everything in one place really does make a difference. I’m glad the document storage and tracking features are helping you work more efficiently too.

I completely understand your points around the interface and navigation. If it takes extra clicks or feels cluttered, it can slow things down, especially for new users. That’s really valuable feedback as we continue working on improving the overall experience.

If you’d be happy to share a bit more on what would make navigation smoother for you, I’d love to hear it, feel free to reach out to me at taryn.schutzler@theaccessgroup.com

"Effortless HR Management with a Few Hiccups"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I like that Access PeopleHR is easy to use and accommodates multiple different hours and shift patterns. It's straightforward to change or update staff levels, and it's user-friendly for the staff to manage themselves. Accessing staff information, both individually and across the team, to see who has booked leave or is on sickness is very useful for planning. The initial setup was very easy and came with a step-by-step guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

We've had a repeated issue with annual leave allocation between years not updating automatically. It didn't allow us to update full-time workers for the new annual leave allocation and therefore prevented staff from booking these either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear PeopleHR makes it easy to move between staff profiles and manage sickness and leave across your team. We appreciate your comments on annual leave calculations, which are helping shape ongoing improvements. You can follow upcoming updates via our PeopleHR roadmap hub.

"Powerful People Analytics and Seamless Payroll Integration"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

The new people analytics feature is an excellent tool that enables you to explore a wide range of data. Additionally, the PHR system serves as an effective solution for maintaining employee records and integrating payroll processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

There are currently many system changes happening, and while these are all positive, the guides are only truly helpful once you already know what you need to find. During the initial stages of a rollout, things can be a bit confusing, making it challenging for administrators to get up to speed and feel confident before introducing the changes to the wider business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback Sherolyne. It’s great to hear the new people analytics, payroll integration and Ripples are driving efficiency for your team. We appreciate your point on rollout guidance, which is shaping how we improve onboarding and in-product support. You can follow updates via our PeopleHR roadmap hub.

"Great for Remote Staff Tracking, but Confusing Time Formats and Inaccurate Calculations"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

It’s better than using paper, and it makes it much easier for me to keep track of remote staff. Overall, it helps me stay organized and monitor things more consistently without relying on paperwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

We track time in hours, but PeopleHR seems split: part of it records time in minutes, while another part uses decimal fractions of an hour. This inconsistency gets very confusing, and the resulting calculations aren’t always accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Kate. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion around time formats and calculations, and we understand how frustrating that can be when managing remote teams. Your comments are helping shape improvements around consistency and accuracy. You can follow upcoming updates via our PeopleHR roadmap hub.

"Efficient Data Management with Report Customization"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I really like the ribbon feature where I can search for employees and have the last 3 viewed profiles readily accessible instead of going back to the employee dashboard each time. It's intuitive to use, allowing me to store all documents in one place and update personal details easily when needed. It's also really easy to run reports and filter through options to get the exact information required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I don't like the new update when creating a new employee's profile. I find the layout to be odd and some of the fields that used to be required are now optional, which means when I am going back, I am having to input the information again. I also don't like the way it calculates annual leave and inputting the salary information. When typing in addresses, it only gives you the UK home addresses and as we are a global company, it means I have to input this information manually once the profile is created for someone who is in another country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your detailed feedback, Aimee. It’s great to hear the ribbon feature and reporting tools are helping you work more efficiently, especially with quick profile access and document management.

We’re sorry to hear the new employee profile layout and annual leave calculations have caused some frustration, and we understand the challenge around international address entry for global teams. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable as we continue refining usability and global functionality.

"User-Friendly HR Solution with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I find Access PeopleHR user-friendly and appreciate its ease of navigation. The ATS and Performance Management add-ons work well for our business needs. I also value the availability of training guides and videos along with the co-pilot feature, which saves me time and makes it easy to navigate and find what I require. Additionally, I like the ability to store HR documents online securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The system is designed to UK legislation for things such as Maternity Leave and does not work for Ireland. We had some issues with our first Account Manager and a delay in getting our data loaded into the system but once our Account Manager changed this was resolved quickly.

"Needs Automation Enhancements for Full Potential"
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I like the automation feature for getting references in Access PeopleHR. It's convenient to just look at the timeline and know everything's covered. The way it provides an instantaneous snapshot without having to go through each reference individually is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I definitely find the data side of Access PeopleHR challenging. You have to manually transfer information from where you get the references to the employee database. It's just an ETL process, and automating this would make the workload so much easier. Also, the system doesn't integrate with other job boards besides Indeed, which is a limitation for an applicant tracking system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
