HRLocker Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about HRLocker is how it simplifies and centralises key HR processes in a very practical way. The digital signing functionality is particularly valuable, as it allows us to confidently ensure that all employees have received, read and acknowledged important documents such as the employee handbook, without any manual follow-up.

The integration with HireHive is also excellent. It makes managing recruitment far more efficient, especially when dealing with a high volume of applicants. It is easy to collaborate with colleagues, move candidates through each stage of the process, and once a hire is made, transitioning them into HRLocker for onboarding is seamless. Overall, it saves significant administrative time and improves visibility across the entire recruitment and HR lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where HRLocker could be improved is in the flexibility of its annual leave management. More advanced options, such as automated long service leave increments, easier bulk upload of carryover balances, and clearer handling of days in lieu, would make it more suitable for organisations with more complex policies.

The Reviews module is another area that could be enhanced. At present, the structure and workflow do not fully align with how we manage performance and development internally, so we have not been able to adopt it. Greater flexibility in configuring review cycles, formats, and approval flows would make this feature more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very clear and easy to operate, and creating a new employee profile is extremely simple.

It's very reliable, always work, it doesn't log you out, no errors.

People can check themselves when someone else is on annual leave, they can book their own holidays.

I think it should be bit cheaper and that you should be able to pick 1 or 2 employess instead of paying for 3 as we are a small company.

We connected payroll to it and it works perfectly fine.

Customer support is great, they reply fairly quickly.

We didnt use AI help yet so I cant say anything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s frustrating that you can’t add a second management-level user who receives the same emails as the main user—for example, notifications when training expires or when other important changes occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use HRLocker for clocking in and out, submitting, and approving timesheets. It's really helpful for tracking overtime, managing time-off entitlements, and handling annual leave requests. I love the 'Who's Off' tab because it allows employees to see who has already booked leave, helping us avoid scheduling conflicts and ensuring staff who buddy up don't take leave at the same time. It's user-friendly and was easy to integrate with our systems. Overall, it simplifies keeping track of clock cards, knowing when employees are scheduled to take leave, and monitoring things like sick days, annual leave, and other types of leave.

It would be great if we could add additional features to it such as return to work forms after sick leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love so much about HRLocker. Its efficiency is fantastic and it's very user-friendly. I frequently use the reporting features to run various types of reports like weekly payroll reports and holiday reports, which is incredibly helpful. I love that when an employee is leaving and I push their last working date, it automatically calculates how much leave they have left. There's just so much I appreciate—it's a wonderful system. The setup was very easy, and the support was excellent, particularly from Shah, who did training with us, and Liz, our account manager, has been extremely helpful and efficient. Overall, it's a fantastic system and handles everything we need efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most annoying part for me, because I'm the administrator and I have access to every part of it, is that when I'm going to, you know, go into somebody's profile to see their time off, it automatically defaults back to me constantly. I find that a little bit annoying. Even if I'm in their directory and then I kinda go over to their name, it defaults to me all the time. The managers have the same issue. If they have five staff, it defaults to themselves before it goes back to their staff. I wish it would hold and stay on that staff member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very user-friendly and intuitive to use. The time-on and time-off features are straightforward and easy to understand. It also helps us manage a wide range of contract types and different working patterns, which makes balancing everything much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, we find that we have to create workarounds for things that should be fairly basic requirements in an HR system, such as maintaining a clear history of positions and employment dates. We also come across bugs from time to time, which create additional problems and take time for us to identify, investigate, and review all the implications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the directory where we can store all the users' information. I appreciate that HRLocker has the reviews all in one place, and I can choose an employee to look at and review what they've said. Also, once it's been completed, you can't go back and make amendments, which prevents any fraudulent activity by staff members. I also like the way that the certification gives a report in if there's certification due for renewal, making it a lot easier instead of relying on manual reminders.

The downfall is, so, unfortunately, within HR, there are more than just your standard reviews and also your return to work document. It could be additional documentation that I need to store in there, like maybe disciplinary letters that I've sent out to individuals. I want a file it would be really useful to have, like, a file storage documentation section that has to have separate folders that you could upload documentation, which then treats it as actual full employee's storage area. Because if I'm not in work, I'm it's stored in a staff file on my device. Then another manager won't be able to pick that up. Whereas if you're stored on that, it'd make it a lot more easier to pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HR Locker is brilliant: it’s affordable, easy to navigate, and has really streamlined our HR processes, particularly when it comes to leave management and maintaining employee records. The reporting functions are excellent.

Overall, it’s very user-friendly for both admins and employees. The setup was straightforward, and the customer support team has been responsive and genuinely helpful whenever we’ve needed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s very little to dislike about HR Locker. Every now and then, I’d appreciate a few more customisation options in certain areas, but overall it’s a smooth, reliable platform that works really well and meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate HRLocker for being a user-friendly system, especially for leave management. Before, we had to manage leave over emails, which made it difficult to track and maintain balances. Now, HRLocker simplifies this by having all the necessary data in one location, making it easier for managers to make decisions around leave. The notifications are very useful, particularly for compliance reasons, as they keep reminding us when an HR document needs a signature, adding accountability. It also provides updates to employees about the stages of their applications. The initial setup was quite easy, thanks to the help of the onboarding team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system could be a lot more intuitive. It's quite annoying how the FTE field doesn't prompt the other fields, making it very manual. For example, if somebody is reducing hours, I have to update several screens like comp and balance, working hours, and more. Also, as our company has grown, the system has become a little more limited in what it could do for us. Similiarly change in managers requires a lot of manual updates. There should be a bulk Our payroll team would prefer better integration because they have to pull multiple reports to find the same data for payroll processing.

Everything is in one place, it's easy for staff to find all the information they need from answers to policy questions to booking their desk in the office it's a one stop shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Booking Time Off can be a bit clunky especially from an approval side. Would be great if you could approve, deny and edit straight from the calendar view. Also would be great if you could edit booking requests rather than deleting and reapplying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the new ATS Hire hive as this allows us to advertise roles without location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes find it confusing about adding in some elements to employees profiles eg days worked - set days for different people.

I also can find it a little annoying if I forget to submit changes and move to another section I have to redo. I would like there to be a reminder to save changes before moving to a new section Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
