What I like best about Access PeopleHR is that it makes employee-related information easier to access without having to rely on long email chains or separate files. From an assistant financial accountant perspective, this is useful because HR information often links to finance work, especially around payroll, absence, starters, leavers, and employee changes.

I like that holiday records, employee documents, and basic employment details can be kept in one place, which makes it easier to check information when supporting payroll reviews or month-end checks. The self-service feature is also helpful because employees can request leave or update details themselves, reducing the need for manual follow-up.

For me, the biggest benefit is that it gives better visibility over people-related data, so when finance needs to check headcount, absence, payroll-related changes, or supporting documents, the information is easier to find and more organised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Access PeopleHR is that some parts of the system can take time to get used to, especially when looking for older employee records, documents, or specific changes. The information is there, but the navigation is not always as clear as it could be.

From a finance point of view, I would also like reporting and exports to be a bit more flexible. When checking payroll-related information, absence records, starters and leavers, or employee changes, I sometimes need the data in a cleaner format so it can be reviewed in Excel or compared with finance records.

The system works well for everyday HR tasks, but for finance checks and reconciliations, some extra manual review is still needed to make sure the information is complete and matches payroll or accounting records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
