Great self-service and management HR system." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Breathe? It's easy to use; it's easy to access; it's easy to understand and manoeuvre.

Head of Finance and Operations Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/2/2024 "BreatheHR - easy to use but they could put more into the basic version" 4/5 What do you like best about Breathe? Holiday booking works well, and calculating holiday for new starters is automated but not for leavers, so that doesn't really make any sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? Adding documents (eg. contracts, references, proof of right-to-work) is a bit fiddly and it's frustrating that it doesn't have drop-downs for regularly used items (like the things I've mentioned above), so if you want to be consistent in labelling these documents across all your employees then you have to keep a list on a spreadsheet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? We don't have an HR expert, so the fact that Line Managers can add to their staff's records means it doesn't all fall to one person, so that's a good feature.
