Employee Leave Management Software

I strongly advise against using this product for India-based teams. It is built entirely for the US market, resulting in a poor user experience for Indian employees. The implementation process traps you into using their mandatory vendor partners. You cannot run payroll unless you sign up with their bank, and the benefits module will not work unless you use their chosen insurance provider. They do not disclose these forced partnerships until the contract is signed. Furthermore, the compliance module is highly unreliable. They botched our EPFO entries on the first payroll run and have failed to fix them despite months of escalation. Instead of taking ownership, they blame their third-party outsourced vendor and the Government of India. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we are a company spread across 3 continents, Rippling manages to get every employee onto a single platform reasonably well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although there are quite a few extra steps required to run even a basic payroll, the system still seems to work as intended. I feel that the services offered are priced high. They charge for every single thing, instead of having one price to do everything we need. No price matching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The owner wanted a more digital time-tracking system that he could check while he was out of town, and Gusto does offer that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about BambooHR is how useful it is for simple day to day tasks. I regularly use it to book annual leave, check how many holidays I have remaining and see who is in or out of the business. Having all this in one place makes things much quicker and saves having to contact HR for information I can easily find myself.

The who's out calendar is probably one of the features I use most. For example, if I'm on the phone with a customer and they ask to speak to someone in another team, I can quickly check BambooHR to see if that person is off that day. I can give the customer an answer straight away rather than putting them on hold or messaging around the business trying to find out.

That's actually been an unexpected benefit for me. I originally saw BambooHR mainly as somewhere to manage things like holidays and employee information, but I find myself using it during my normal working day as well. It's also useful when planning my own annual leave because I can check when other people are away before submitting a request. Overall, it makes a lot of those small everyday tasks much quicker and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything major that I dislike about BambooHR, especially for the everyday things I use it for. One area I think could be improved is how the holiday calendar connects with other tools we use day to day. It would be useful if annual leave and other time off like appointments etc in BambooHR could automatically feed into my Outlook calendar, so I wouldn't need to check different places when planning meetings or looking at someone's availability.

I use the who's out calendar a lot, particularly when I'm speaking to customers and need to quickly whether someone from another team is available. Because of that, having that information more closely integrated with Outlook or Teams would make it even more useful.

It's not something that causes a major problem, but it would save a bit of time and make BambooHR feel more connected to the other tools I use throughout the working day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To enhance BambooHR's functionality, consider integrating the holiday calendar with other tools like Outlook or Teams. This would streamline the process of checking availability and planning meetings, making it even more efficient for daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR makes it much easier having everything employee and HR related in one place, I can manage annual leave and half days, record things like appointments and bereavement leave, and access information around maternity and paternity leave without having to go back and forth with HR. Personal information changes, pay and bonus updates, signed documents and contract related information can all be managed and accessed through the same system.

It's also genuinely useful in my day to day work. If I'm on the phone with a customer asking for someone in another team, I can quickly check if that person is off rather than putting the customer on hold or messaging around to find out. Overall, it saves time, reduces unnecessary admin and makes important information much easier to access when you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that there are no videos that show you how to do something. When you search in the help section there is so much information but it is always in the form of a PDF. I prefer videos that I can watch and pause as I work through issues. It is also difficult to find what you are exactly needing in the help center. Reporting is also a downside. We aren't able to build reports from different modules into one report. Also, some of the nuisances with effective dates in the future are annoying. I can't place someone into a new position or update a supervisor with a future effective date. Having to pay extra for PAF's is a little annoying and we can't customize it the way that we need it to.

We were able to do a work around for recording per diems as an earning which helped us pull it out of expense reimbursements which was helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At present, nothing at all. I havent found anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connecteam is helping us solve our issue around sharing documents to operatives at locations we need those documents and keeping good comunication between the workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One minor thing I dislike about Employment Hero is that the help chatbox sits very close to the action/save button throughout payroll processing, and you can’t move it.

A bigger issue is that Employment Hero will sometimes roll out software enhancements without any notification, which changes the way the system behaves and can affect your processes. It doesn’t necessarily break anything, but you then have to adjust your workflows to suit. This would be better handled if Employment Hero gave you the choice of whether (and when) to implement the enhanced feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we implemented Employment Hero, our old manual processes for timesheets and leave applications have been replaced with digital workflows and a clear audit trail. This has made the payroll process much more efficient.

Employee onboarding is also a better experience for employees, while still capturing all the data you need (and verifying it!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like is that some parts of the platform feel less intuitive than others, especially when I’m trying to locate specific settings or information. A few workflows take more clicks than I expect, which can make simple tasks feel unnecessarily drawn out. It would be much better with simpler navigation and clearer guidance, particularly for features I don’t use very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TriNet simplifies payroll, benefits administration, and other day-to-day HR tasks by bringing everything together in one platform. As a result, there’s less manual administrative work, and it’s easier to access employee information, manage routine HR processes, and stay organized. Overall, it saves us time and helps us focus more on core business priorities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major concerns, but a few areas could be improved. Some workflows can take a little time to get used to, reporting and customization options could be more flexible, and certain processes could be made quicker with fewer steps. Overall, these are minor points and have not significantly affected our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standout strengths of HROne are its easy-to-use interface, efficient HR and employee management features, and responsive customer support. The platform makes processes such as attendance, employee records, payroll, and leave management much easier to manage. It is reliable, saves time, and provides a smooth experience for both HR teams and employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time, I do not have any significant dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote solves my queries regarding health insurance and meal allowance. Their prompt and professional support builds confidence and saves time, reducing stress and making my experience more reliable and trustworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find a little inconvenient is that the amounts on invoice titles are hidden with asterisks, so it’s hard to quickly see how much I was paid at a glance. I usually have to open each invoice individually to check the amount, which can feel a bit tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t really experienced any major problems so far. What I find most helpful is being able to clearly see my payment history and when previous payments were made. It gives me a good idea of when to expect upcoming payments. I also really like that Deel notifies me when a payment is on the way, and I usually receive it the next day. It makes the whole payment process feel very predictable and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Homebase is how completely effortless it makes daily workforce and staff management. From day one, the platform felt entirely intuitive with virtually zero learning curve. Both administration and staff adapted to it immediately, eliminating the administrative friction usually associated with scheduling and time tracking. Homebase bridges operational management and team communication into a single, clean user interface. It is easily a 10/10 recommendation for any organization looking for an all-in-one, user-friendly management solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main complaint is the rigid structure of the PTO policy creation and management. Currently, Homebase limits each employee to only one active PTO policy (and one sick leave policy) at a time. I need the flexibility to create and assign multiple distinct PTO policies to single employees—such as separating standard vacation, personal time, or custom tier-based accruals—without being forced into a single blanket policy. The setup process for PTO feels restrictive compared to the rest of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Homebase solving for you?

Homebase solves several major administrative headaches around scheduling, attendance tracking, and team communication:

Manual Scheduling Clutter: Before Homebase, building schedules and managing last-minute shift swaps required constant phone calls, text threads, or paper schedules.

Time Tracking & Payroll Bottlenecks: Tracking hours manually or using basic time clocks often led to missing punch-ins, unapproved overtime, and hours spent auditing timesheets before payroll.

Communication Gaps: Important announcements, shift changes, and policy updates frequently got lost in group texts or email inboxes.

How is that benefiting you?

Massive Time Savings: Having automated shift creation, drag-and-drop schedule building, and instant shift trading saves hours of administrative work every week.

Streamlined Payroll Prep: Automated timesheet calculations with built-in break/overtime tracking make payroll processing fast, accurate, and stress-free.

Centralized Team Communication: Having scheduling, time-off requests, messaging, and timesheets integrated into one single mobile app keeps the entire team accountable and aligned on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Leapsome sparingly so far, so I don't have any major complaints. The only thing I'd improve is the navigation; sometimes it's a little difficult to quickly find certain sections or data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have any specific dislikes, but there are a few enhancements we would love to see:

1. Consolidation of Benefits: It would be fantastic if Kota could increase the range of benefits offered. It would be great if we could offer some additional benefits without having to find a different provider, such as cash plan medical, cycle to work, staff discounts, etc.

2. Global Office Management: We have offices in several countries, including Canada, the US, Malaysia, Australia, Mexico, and the UAE. It would be great if we could manage these international offices through Kota as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've integrated the Kota platform with our HR system, making enrolment a breeze. Now, we can easily see who is and isn't enrolled in one place.

Monthly invoicing helps manage our cash flow, and we can download member lists and invoices directly from the portal.

We're currently setting up our benefits on the Kota app and are excited to launch this to our staff. This will be our first opportunity to showcase our benefits in a comprehensive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the login process. The "magic link" being the default way to log in is just an obstacle to the routine username and password, which I prefer. I don't want to have to check my email every time I log in and rely on clicking specific links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forma is solving the issue of how I get reimbursed for certain expenses and that is helping me use my benefits in a less hassle way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to give one piece of constructive feedback, I'd say that I haven't found a way to clock in and out after being logged in. If I'm logged in and adjusting my timesheet, or submitting a time off request, I have to manually select "Sign Out" in order to go back to the screen where I'm able to clock in and out. It's not a huge deal, and I've certainly gotten used to it with time, but it's something that doesn't make much sense to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keka resolves the friction of tracking attendance, remote check-ins, and leave requests across a distributed workforce. Previously, managing attendance logs and approvals caused delays in monthly reporting. With Keka’s centralized dashboard and mobile app, employees can clock in effortlessly, and managers can approve requests in real time. It gives our team full visibility into who is working or on leave, streamlining overall daily planning and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BiznusSoft helped us run payroll much easier. Our employees are keeping time by now easily on mobile. We’re seeing less manual intervention- basically none- because we’re able to use the BiznusSoft system and dashboards and reports for all our needs.

Sometimes the platform can feel a bit slow, especially when loading certain sections or updating information.

The platform is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward, which can limit customization.

OnPay's pricing model is straightforward, typically consisting of a flat monthly fee plus a per-employee fee. As an organization, we appreciate the transparency because there are fewer add-on charges for essential services. The other payroll program become more expensive as additional features, services, or higher-tier plans were added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
