I don't see anything that makes it not helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Purely HR is very straightforward and intuitive to use. The 'Estimated Balance on a Specific Date' feature is valuable for employee's holiday planning. The 'at a glance' calendar makes seeing who is available or away quick and easy...this is essential for holiday and resource planning. The 'Time-Off Summary' function contains useful information including a summary of all time-off requests approved, pending, rejected and cancelled and can be shown for a user-selected time period.

The only issue I have noticed is when booking a partial day off...the system is set to a standard workday (i.e., 7.5 hours), but when not all employees work the same number of hours in a standard workday, it can be somewhat confusing. For instance, if the company standard is a 7.5 hour workday, an employee's half-day is 3.75 hours, but if an employee works non standard hours (i.e., an 8 hour workday), that employee must enter 3.75 hours for a half-day even though their half-day is technically 4 hours.

Being able to see the schedule of all of my coworkers has been a huge help. I think the system and interface of Purely HR is very simple and easy to use for everyone. I thoroughly enjoy how easy it is to make sure I am taking the correct amount of time off, how much time I have remaining, whether it is PTO, Vacation, sick time, or beravement, Purley HR has made it very simple for us to use here at Simply Business. I also enjoy every Friday submitting my time sheet, as it could not really be any easier then it is. Something that has helped me and my coworkers out a lot if the reminder email that gets sent out every Friday, if the time sheet is not submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I think of anything I dislike about Purely HR not much comes to mind. One thing that I think could be fixed would probably be the "Special Dates" section, but that maybe internal. Something else that maybe could be fixed or updated is also the documents page, as of right now, I have no need for the documents page and it is empty, maybe some documents could be uploaded in there? Again this could be for documents from my company and not Purely HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PurelyHR shows me all my time used and time to use, both good and bad, but clear to both my employer and me. It also shows me my tasks working with the new HR Manager easily to know what is expected of me and what I need to do specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My HR manager hasn't been able to find a "trigger" feature. For instance, some of my tasks are a counterpart of someone else's tasks to complete first before I can do mine. And to work remotely and efficiently; if there were a way to trigger my job once I knew Employee "X" had finished, that would be more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PurelyHR is definitely easy to navigate, and the overall design is pleasing to the eye. I enjoy that they send me an email a couple of days before a holiday or a day off because it's nice to have a reminder for scheduling purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface itself is quite clunky. The boxes in the monthly calendar view are too small to contain all of the folks who are taking off during a common vacation time. It is difficult to visualize the scale of absences on one particular day as a result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user-friendly interface of PurelyHR makes it very easy to navigate between all the portal sections. It is very easy to manage time off, holidays and employee documents. I like the ability to receive notification to my email when the time-off is approved/rejected. Their customer support team is fantastic. Also, the best part is we can only pay for the modules we choose to go with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up a user profile in the backend takes a little time. However, once the initial setup is done, making necessary changes to the user profiles is not very hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is delightful to interact with. Very clear and direct. Easy to use with no learning curve. It gets the job done instantly. I'm speaking as an end user, not a manager, so this experience only applies to the end user perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the login dialog is confusing. Our company uses our own sub-domain at purelyHR, but the login window still asks for a company ID, which is confusing. I think it should be automatically filled. The good news is that purelyHR remembers the preferences, so I don't need to do it often (only on a new computer).

PurelyHR is extremely easy to use and it automates many of our business functions. We use the time-off module and the timesheet module and having the information synchronized saves us time in our payroll processing. I previously used separate programs for these functions, but the PurelyHR platform is a much better tool and a much better value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have little negative to say about this platform. There are some customizations I would like to see. Also, I don't like that when I add a new employee, I have to go into each existing employee's profile in order for them to be able to see the new employee's calendar. I would prefer if there was some automatic process that allowed everyone to see each other's calendar unless the admin/manager added a restriction (I'd rather have it be an opt-out feature than opt-in).

Purely HR has saved us time, money, and stress over the last few years! My staff information is all in one centralized location - timesheets, leave balances, holidays, hiring and termination dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few minor glitches in PurelyHR when inputting new staff in the system where the PTO time needs to be adjusted, but this is a very minute detail overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
