Streamlines Payroll and HR Processes

Rating: 10 out of 10
September 03, 2024
In our automotive dealer group we use BambooHR for all of our hiring, onboarding and offboarding processes. Our employees use it to log their vacation, sick and training time. We also use it to store all of our employee documents. Before BambooHR we were using paper and filing all paperwork in a cabinet which made it inaccessible for other managers to access. Now all managers with access can view their employee's documents without having to ask someone else. We also like that we can all view a calendar of people's time off which makes it so easy to determine if someone else should be booking time off. Overall it has streamlined many of our processes and we are much more organized.
  • Logging vacation and sick time
  • Tracking birthdays and work anniversaries
  • Keeping employee documents in a secure but accessible location
Cons
  • A clock in/clock out feature
It is very well suited for medium/large size businesses where there are multiple managers and HR/payroll staff.

it would be less suited for a small business where there is only a few employees.

BambooHR: Excellent Onboarding and Payroll!

We use BambooHR for all of our employee records, HR documents, & payroll.
  • Payroll
  • Employee Onboarding & Offboarding
  • Chat/help
Cons
  • Paying taxes on our behalf - I wish we had confirmation from them each time they pay taxes so we stay in the loop.
  • For payroll's general reimbursements, I wish we had a note section so we could add in details about what the reimbursement was for. (Groceries, client gift, hotel/travel, etc.)
It works well for our property management company, having payroll/onboarding/HR documents all in one place has been a game changer.

BambooHR is Great!

We use BambooHR to automate onboarding and termination processes which eliminates the administrative burden and paperwork. It is used to keep track of employee personal information and to keep track of PTO hours. The HR team uses BambooHR the most and some supervisors [use it too]. The supervisors use it if their employees request to use PTO and they have to approve it. It helps a lot with keeping track of employee information, and sending signature requests. It really helps automate a lot of our processes.
  • Onboarding new employees. It makes the new hire process very simple. You just add in their information about their job and contact. It then automatically sends them a link to register on BambooHR and to fill out the needed documents.
  • Requesting signatures. If there is a time when an employee moves to a new state, you need to ask them to fill out a new tax form. To make that process easier, we use BambooHR to request that signature and you receive that document quicker rather than trying to email and call them. It saves a lot of time.
  • It is user friendly. Employees understand how to navigate their account and the electronic signatures are very straightforward.
Cons
  • Adding reports. I have been asked a couple times to generate customized reports via BambooHR. It is a little confusing to select what kind of information that I would like to be added to the report. We have standard reports that we can easily access but when it comes to creating a new report, it can be made a little easier.
BambooHR is well suited for new hire and termination processes and keeping track of updated employee information. It is not well suited for keeping track of benefits and payroll.

Great tool for digitizing HR processes

BambooHR has been used to automate HR department tasks such as leave approvals, benefits, loans, and tracking of personal goals for our SME. Previously the above tasks were manually administered, but as the team grew, it was no longer feasible for a small HR team to manually manage certain tasks.
  • Good self-service interface for requesting time off
  • Good centralised employee contact directory and organisational structure management
  • Simple, easy-to-use interface for employees
Cons
  • Better integration with project management and finance tracking tools so that leave days and travel expenses do not need to be entered into the system twice
  • Performance tracking interface seems too simple to be effective, but this could be a customisation issue
BambooHR has worked well for our small-to-medium, non-profit organization.

We love our HR suite

While working at my current organization, as the company size grew and we started hiring more contractors from different regions, we needed a Human Resources Management system to better handle our growing needs. For a mid-size enterprise, we decided to purchase BambooHR since it's a cloud-based HRIS system that offers us the flexibility that we needed. It is used by our HR personnel to process payroll, compensation, and new applicant hiring process as well.
  • The user interface for the software is simple and intuitive. They release new updates frequently, which makes the app even better.
  • The applicant tracking module has some really nice features. Hiring managers can set up workflows to automate tasks.
Cons
  • The software does not provide a good integration path from other tools. We had difficulty migrating our employee data over from Workday.
  • Customization can be a challenge as well, and we have to reach out to the support team to help us out on that front.
This software is very flexible and comes with lots of add on modules that can be used as needed. Some of the modules we frequently use are: Employee self-service, the HR reporting tools with notifications and alerts, and the applicant tracking system for recruiting purposes.
