"Very useful tool for managing employee time off"

4/5

What do you like best about PurelyHR?

We used to track time off using an Excel sheet, with people emailing one staff member with their leave, which was a terrible system. PurelyHR lets each individual manage their own time, see their balances, and lets managers stay on top of leave balances for their teams. Customer service has also been consistently excellent and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PurelyHR?

Our team would really love for there to be an app version, or for the website to work better on mobile, so that people can input leave when they're away from their computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeps me on track with how much banked time each position needs to function, easy to determine how many vacation days are still owed, and I like the function where I can see any of the actions I have taken on accounts, as it is hard to remember the details, and easy then to track any mistakes.
