"Good Functionality, With Background Tech to Keep in Mind"

4/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

HR Locker offers a clear and user-friendly interface for managing a range of HR functions including leave tracking, employee records, timesheets, and performance management. From a staff and management perspective, its accessibility and structure support day-to-day HR processes effectively and with minimal training. The platform is particularly useful for organisations seeking to formalise and centralise their HR practices in a digital format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

For organisations considering HR Locker, it is strongly recommended that an IT-competent staff member or consultant be involved from the outset. This person can support the initial setup, manage data imports, and handle any technical adjustments or integrations required. With this support in place, HR Locker has the potential to be a highly functional and reliable component of a modern HR system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HRLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

HR Locker is helping us streamline and formalise several key HR processes that were previously managed through a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and manual tracking. Specifically, it has improved how we manage annual leave, timesheets, and staff documentation. The centralised system means all relevant information is now accessible in one place, reducing administrative time and the risk of errors or missed deadlines.

From a compliance perspective, HR Locker supports us in maintaining accurate records and meeting reporting requirements. It also offers greater transparency for staff, who can view their own leave balances and timesheet history without needing to request information from HR or management.

The main benefit has been increased efficiency and clarity in how HR tasks are handled. While there have been some technical considerations in setup and integration, the overall functionality has had a positive impact on day-to-day operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the review! We're really glad HRLocker has helped streamline your HR processes and bring everything into one place, it’s great to hear it’s made day-to-day tasks more efficient for both staff and managers.

Your tip about involving someone with IT experience during setup is spot on. While HRLocker’s designed to be user-friendly, having that support early on can definitely help, especially if you're looking at SSO or integrations down the line.

We really appreciate your feedback and are glad to be part of your HR journey!

"Efficient, no nonsense HR Software"

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

There are still some areas which need further development but HR Locker take all feedback on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall, the system is user-friendly and intuitive once you get used to it"

3/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

Overall, the system is user-friendly and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

There are a few features that could enhance usability and efficiency:

Automatic adjustment of annual leave entitlement based on an employee's length of service would be a valuable addition.

The ability to edit annual leave requests, rather than having to delete and resubmit them, would improve the user experience.

It would be helpful to have a checkbox option that allows managers to quickly grant access to all their indirect reports, rather than needing to select each employee one by one.

The Time on app has been logging users out frequently. Resolving this issue would greatly improve reliability and user satisfaction.

The EE number is not on the time on or time off tab and in the directory under summary.

And under the directory, the holidays look deceiving as it only displays the basic holidays, it does not include additional holidays based on service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but not great"

2.5/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

Clear to see who has clocked in and out and clear visibility of annual leave from a staff point of view and a management point of view. Customer service is very good and response time is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

There is a lot of manual intervention with HR Locker and its quite time consuming. The initial set up is extremely time consuming and could be streamlined so that there are more bulk actions. Reports don't always produce the required figures as it depends on where they are pulling the figures from (such as approved timesheets versus submitted timesheets). Ongoing issues with visual sick leave reports versus graphs - figures don’t match. Screens going black/ blank but recording clocking's. Changing annual leave entitlements is not a simple task as the dates are blocked out and you cannot amend or delete and have to get technical team to help. HR Docs, not generating email alerts to employees to sign documents. If a manager is on annual leave and you want another/ second manager to approve timesheets, you have to manually adjust approving manager in the directory under each employee and then reverse when they return from leave, it would be so much easier if you could do a bulk change or if you could allocate two managers to each employee from the beginning.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate your feedback.

Just to help with a few points:

Timesheet reports will show different results depending on whether timesheets are submitted or approved, so some variation is expected.

If sick leave reports aren’t matching the graphs, that’s not typical - please get in touch so we can take a look.

Annual leave updates don’t need technical help. You just need to edit the end date of the current row and this will automatically set the start date for the next one.

Here’s a quick guide:

https://knowledgebase.hrlocker.com/knowledge/how-to-edit-annual-leave

If a manager is on leave, you can adjust permissions so another manager can approve time off, you dont need to go into the employee. This can be done temporarily or permanently, and even in bulk.

More info here:

https://knowledgebase.hrlocker.com/knowledge/time-off-explained

For HR Docs, emails are only sent once a document is marked as essential, with reminders every 21 days if it’s unsigned. If that’s not happening, let us know - it’s unusual.

We're always working to improve, and your insights help guide that.

Thanks again - we’re here if you need anything!

"HRLocker: Intuitive, Efficient, and Supportive for Small Teams"

4/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

I love how intuitive HRLocker is, making it straightforward to navigate. The data storage capabilities are excellent for organizing personnel information, annual reviews, and tracking changes to salary and benefits. The 'who's off' feature is particularly useful for managing a team of 15 by preventing annual leave overlaps. The software provides new managers with tools to manage direct reports effectively, broadening their understanding of HR aspects beyond daily tasks. The fast and responsive support has consistently addressed any queries. I also appreciate supporting a national brand, and the pricing is fair and stable over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

{"Setting up different workdays for people is complex, requiring navigation through multiple layers, which makes it less intuitive.","Setting up the time on, time off feature feels clunky and convoluted.","The inability to change colors in the annual leave calendar makes it difficult to quickly distinguish between departments or types of leave at a glance."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there,

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review - it’s really appreciated.

We’re so pleased to hear HRLocker is helping you manage your team more smoothly.

You're not the first to mention colour-coding in the leave calendar ! Making these areas more intuitive is something we’re actively working on.

Thanks again for your insight and support. It really helps us improve.

"HRLocker has streamlined our daily HR needs"

5/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

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.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

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.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your lovely review - we’re really glad to hear HRLocker is helping streamline your HR processes and empowering your managers. That’s exactly the kind of impact we’re aiming for!

On the time off approval side, you’ve hit on something we’re actively looking into. Approving and editing directly from the calendar view would definitely improve the experience, and we agree that being able to tweak requests (rather than deleting and reapplying) would make things much smoother. Your feedback is spot on and we’ve passed it along to the product team.

Thanks again - we really appreciate your insights!

"HR LOCKER IS EASY TO USE"

4/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

I like that there are reports which can be downloaded

The design is generally user friendly

Adding new people or removing people is simple

the multiple options for working hours and weeks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

Some of the features make the interface feel bogged down, in particular that you are not able to delete working hours which may not be required

Some end users (employees) struggle to log in to submit timesheets due to the different types of phones and softwares - this really should be available on all phones and softwares

The organisational chart doe not allow to have more than one manager to be shown as a supervisor to any one employee which leaves the chart as inaccurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystel Robbins Rynne of HRLocker

edit

Hi there,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s great to hear that you’re finding HRLocker user friendly and that the reporting and people-management tools are working well for you.

On your points about working hours: there’s a new option in the employee settings that lets you hide unused working hour entries on the timesheet, which should keep things tidier. Our support team would be happy to walk you through this if you’re not sure where to find it.

The system is designed to work on any smartphone, so if any of your team are having trouble logging in or submitting timesheets please do reach out – we can help diagnose whether it’s a device setting or something on our end.

And finally, the organisational chart is meant as a ‘systems view’ of approval lines rather than a full managerial hierarchy, but we appreciate your note about multiple supervisors and will feed that back to our product team.

Thanks again for the review – we value your insight and are here if you need anything.

"One less thing to worry about !"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HRLocker?

Easy Annual Leave approvals and employee leave management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

It doesn't like to my Employee Resource Planner, which is an excel sheet that also tracks employees annual leave, so I have to ensure its updated manually.

I know HR Locker has it's own "Who's off" sheet but to access that means logging into HR Locker, while I have easier instant access to my Employee Resource planner spreadsheet, be great to link them in some way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI is user friendly. The processes are simple but effective. Service level from our support people (Liz and Dan) is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're delighted to hear you're finding the system user-friendly and effective - and it’s fantastic to hear Liz and Dan are hitting the mark on support. We’ll be sure to pass that on.

We're actively working on improvements in reporting and the performance area, so your feedback is very timely. A report builder is something we know would add huge value, and it's on our radar.

Thanks again for your thoughtful review!
