PeopleGuru™ vs. UniFocus Labor Management System (LMS)

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.

For our uses, tracking payroll is all we do. The other features are not as user-friendly.

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

Incentivized

• Log for payroll.
• Moving to previous dates in the payroll.
• Employee details.

Incentivized

• 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)

• It is difficult to find specific reports, you have to know the system and where to look.
• It might be nice to have a friendly tutorial for available operations.
• I like to add notes to my payroll, it would be nice if it was easier to print up those notes and see the entire note. Sometimes the note is cut off. It would also be nice if I had room to write more detailed notes.

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.

I have not used or evaluated any other system.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• It has not affected our ROI, I've never used another system so I have nothing to which I can compare.
