    Employee Navigator
    We are very pleased with the change to [Employee Navigator] as it offers more what we needed. It's very customizable and has many features that can be added or taken away depending on business needs. I'd only say it would be less appropriate for a business quite smaller than ours who needed very little in comparison.

    It is good for basic increment usage. It was less appropriate for biweekly pay periods and for when work days are technically 7.5 hours with 1 hour unpaid lunch. It got kinda whacky with the numbers then since the concept of a day varied. It was great for transparency between employer and employee in terms of knowing how much PTO one has and how it was previously used. Good for history

    Pros
    Employee Navigator
    • Time off requests. These are easy to perform and track as an employee and user.
    • Time off approvals. Couldn't be easier. Time of approvals or denials are sent via email and are one-click tasks. Also can be performed in the web UI, but it's so easy.
    • Manager reporting. Managers can easily see reports on employee time off and make decisions based on that.

    Cons
    Employee Navigator
    • It is a great stand alone product. We would like it to tie into a more robust HR solution and communicate with payroll.
    • Initially there are a lot of features that are turned off, I like to know what a program is capable of so I can be more strategic in implementing a solution.
    • Having a broker in the middle is both good and bad.

    Vacation Tracker
    Because it did not serve us in the sense that our work day is 7.5 hours long. Otherwise, I liked how transparent it was between employer and employee. We wish it had a better way of working with 7.5 hour work days. It was easy to sign up and to introduce but ended up not being the right fit

    Employee Navigator
    So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.

    Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to make an address change to an employee.

    We thought it was friendly and simple which it is but the issue with the time increments made it quite tricky to use. It is a lot more simplified than what we have used in the past as it really just tracks PTO and nothing else which is nice. However, the issue with our work day being 7.5 hours was not something that Vacation Tracker worked well with. If that changed then I would be much more open to looking into it again.

    Return on Investment
    Employee Navigator
    • We spent about half the time on open enrollment than we did in the last two years. Employee Navigator was much easier for staff to navigate and be able to complete their open enrollment independently
    • We've saved several thousand dollars in setup fees to link with insurance carriers since moving to Employee Navigator
