Built for Teams vs. CharlieHR

Perfect for allowing employees to track their paid time off and sick days. Useful for providing job summaries, explanation of benefits. We don't use it for tracking compensation, but it could be used for that purpose. We also post job announcements on the platform which is useful for me to see what kinds of jobs we are hiring for.

As a part-time employee, it would be better if I was able to book leave on an hourly basis. Also, to be able to set up two leave types, paid and unpaid, and accrue lieu time.

Slightly different focuses and I still use both. Microsoft Visio is great for creating all kinds of diagrams. Whereas Built for Tens is more about people management, so you can set up who is where and track their relationships through the other individuals in the organization. it’s all about using the right tool for the job at hand.

Both the above work in different ways and provide different services to CharlieHR, although if we could use a single app for all, that would be better.

• It makes tracking PTO super easy

Incentivized

• Easier to track leave taken and left
• Still need greater flexibility for leave types
• Need to be able to book leave by the hour
