    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.

    If you don't have a workflow management tool in place and are relying on email or shared documents, then I would recommend using Welcome to keep tasks moving and employees accountable. It's very flexible, so you can really drill down on what you're asking from users and it consolidates the tasks that you need to work on in one place. We don't use it for legal documents due to more specific requirements that those require, but, for most other collaborative work, it is used.

    Welcome
    • For some tasks that don't require an article, we are forced to create one or the task doesn't function.
    • When changes are tracked in Word docs they are not apparent until the file is downloaded meaning that if people are only previewing content, they will miss these changes/comments.
    • Having 2 separate places to comment can be confusing and hiding resolved comments can mean less transparency in the process.

    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.

    Welcome
    • Employees can be resistant to using Welcome at first as they think it will add to their workload, but they, eventually, see the benefits of saving time and gaining efficiency.
    • If one person is responsible for entering all tasks, it can be a fair bit of admin time for that person.
    • We have a better working relationship with external agencies that also use Welcome to collaborate with us.
