Reviews From Top Reviewers
Streamlines Payroll and HR Processes
- 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
BambooHR: Excellent Onboarding and 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.)
BambooHR is Great!
- 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.
Great tool for digitizing HR processes
- 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
We love our HR suite
- 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.
