Connecteam
I have actually recommended this platform 3 times to fellow contractors and one farmer within the last month. It is easy to set up and intuitive for employees. Our team begged us to keep in after our initial trial and requested we never return to paper time cards. Once you approve time cards it is so easy to run your payroll report and do payroll

As an all in business solution to handle HR and HR related functions I think this easily does the trick. I was onboarded through this platform and without being trained by anyone on the platform I was able to easily navigate the whole platform/site to find what I needed. I use the platform each week to track my expenses and review my pay and benefits. Tracking expenses is SO easy and reporting them is a breeze. It is good to have my benefits and PTO package all together so I can see how much of everything I have used and what my actual benefits are, sometimes it is easy to forget.

  • Accessing paystubs and statements is very easy to use in Rippling
  • Rippling takes the difficulty out of tracking PTO - whether it is holiday, vacation, or maternity/paternity leave
  • Several other Performance Review applications are disorganized and frustrating to use. Rippling does a great job to overcome these difficulties by properly outlining the functionality of the tool

While growing, we used less specialized softwares to cover what Rippling does for us nowadays. To be fully honest, we were lucky enough to make the change directly to a great option cause it actually helped us to grow faster and better. Once the basis is covered, the payment for your employees, you can grow a lot more with a firm floor under the company workflow.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
Connecteam
  • Before Connecteam I hated "Payroll Mondays" because it took a few hours to do everyone's time and upload it for the accountant. Now it takes maybe 15 mintues to do the entire process. I feel like it is more accurate and definitely less time-consuming - saving me money in the long run.
  • Connecteam has also allowed for quick glance time management to reduce overtime. Having accurate info allowing us to redeploy team members as needed and get other off the clock sooner. Or if we are having OT it is not a surprise - we can plan for it
  • Our accountant has love the reporting and has even recommended it to other small business because it provides all the info needed.
