"Used for managing PTO at work"

2.5/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

Very easy to track how much time off I've used, how much is remaining, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

At the end of a year, I'm unable to make PTO requests that carry over into the next calendar year. I.e., if I want to request for example December 28-January 3 off, I could only request December 28-31, then on January 1 could make a new request for January 1-3. Kind of annoying that I can't request the whole time off at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's fine."

3/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

I like that it is computer-based and no paperwork is involved. And that I can see as soon as my request is approved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

I don't dislike anything. This HR platform is helpful, but it has not changed my life. I like it, and I have no intentions of marrying it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PurelyHR -- Good service, easy to use and cost effective solution"

5/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

We have been a client for years using their time and attendance system and have had a good experience.

System is intuitive and simple to use for both users and administrators. Reports available are comprehensive and meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

For our company, there have not been any issues. They have made system changes to make entering new hires even easier, so know they are listening to general client feedback which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience with PurelyHR"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

Before shifting my career, I had never used Purely HR before. The first impression was amazing because of their user-friendly interface! Everything was easy to find and easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

Nothing dislike so far, but some suggestions for sure. Currently we are using three different platforms to submit day-offs, expenses and input working hours. If Purely HR could combine all those functions together, it would be super helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive"

2.5/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

It was fairly simple to use. Very user-friendly, easy to put in a request for time off. Managers could grant the requested time off as well all in one platform, and easy to keep track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

It was restrictive as per the reasons to be off, the lunch or no lunch included was confusing. The color scheme is not the best, and also, we can't have the org chart visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
