PeopleGuru™ vs. Tempus Central

I'd say PeopleGuru is well suited for most businesses -- a more significant (200+ employees) company may want to use something with a sleeker design. This provider is willing to work with cannabis businesses, which is unusual for payroll providers now.

If you are a manufacturing company, managing a few hundred blue-collar workers, you definitely need Tempus Central. This is the cheapest option we found so far, with all the required features. If you are a small company with fairly simple attendance policy settings and not many shifts, you can avoid using Tempus Central.

• One system for all human resource functions.
• Easy ticketing function if you have an issue with the software.
• Cost effective option.

• Gives us flexibility to set up attendance policy for various types of people
• It manages our Night shifts and Over Time policy very well
• It integrates well with the Biometric Devices, HRMS and Payroll system

• Position change future dating
• Timecard reporting including approval (multiple reports to show timecard with approval)
• W2 Reconciliation Reports (had to calculate wages to verify accuracy)
• Benefit Plan effective dating & how it affects the deduction effective dating (results in payroll errors if not careful)

• I would like to see a few more analytics in the software

The software is cost-effective and exceeds our needs compared to the previous software.

The customer service is great for the most part. There are a few issues with tax filings but overall I am pleased with the customer service provided by PeopleGuru.

The trainer was difficult to understand.

The implementation process was cumbersome and stressful. It took an extremely long time to complete this process. We had to learn a lot on the fly because this was the first implementation for all of us. The process would have been a lot easier if there was a third party that could assist with a lot of the work required to transfer and verify data.

PeopleGuru is better than other cannabis-friendly payroll systems, like CheckWriters or MyPaperlessOffice (companies so small they were not available in your dropdown). It is not as good as bigger companies that are not cannabis-friendly, like ADP or Paylocity. ADP is super expensive but given the choice I would be with Paylocity over PeopleGuru.

We selected Tempus Central for its flexibility and amount of policy setups we could do. Our complex requirements especially Night Shift management were not available with the most readily available HRMS. Hence, we move forward with Attendance Management first and maybe then we will move towards implementing an HRMS on our premises.

• Less platforms that need to be managed or maintained
• Less platforms to pay monthly or annual fees for
• More costly than Gusto

• Our HRs save 4 days every month by automating attendance management
• No more excel sheet management, hence we get organized data in one place
• Ability to analyze employees' efficiency and productivity
