PeopleGuru is a versatile software that offers a range of use cases for businesses. Users have found the system to be particularly useful for payroll processing, time and attendance tracking, and PTO management. With PeopleGuru, companies can efficiently manage employee data, including payroll, electronic records, and HR functions. The robust reporting capabilities, such as Adhoc reporting, have been beneficial for accounting, payroll, and HR departments alike. By consolidating payroll management, deductions, and employee data in one place, PeopleGuru increases efficiency and accuracy for these critical tasks. Additionally, the software streamlines HR functions like onboarding, PTO management, and HR data storage.

One industry where PeopleGuru shines is in the cannabis sector. It provides a suitable payroll solution by offering real-time timesheet visibility and user-friendly features tailored to the unique needs of this industry. Although the user interface may appear outdated and challenging to navigate initially, users have found the onboarding and support staff to be helpful in overcoming these hurdles. Overall, PeopleGuru is highly valued for its ability to manage HR information effectively, handle timekeeping tasks, process payroll accurately, and streamline benefits management. It also automates necessary forms, recruitment processes, onboarding procedures, HR data management, timekeeping activities, payroll processing, and tax filing. Whether it's managing employee data or handling various HR tasks, PeopleGuru proves to be a reliable solution for businesses across industries.

Time-saving: Many users have found the mobile app to be a valuable tool for managing HR functions in the cannabis industry as it eliminates the need for traditional time clocks or paper timecards. This has been appreciated by several reviewers who highlighted the app's capability to handle payroll, timekeeping, performance evaluations, and Form I9 tracking, contributing to increased efficiency in HR processes. Streamlined management: The consolidation of all HR functions into one system has been praised by users as it makes it easier to manage company setup and reporting. The user-friendly interface of the app has also been mentioned multiple times as allowing both employees and management to easily navigate and access necessary information. Additionally, the easy ticketing function available in the app enables quick resolution of any software-related issues. Customization options: Several users appreciate the flexibility provided by the app in conducting performance reviews and generating customized reports. They find value in being able to tailor these features according to specific company requirements. Furthermore, users have pointed out that customization options on the back end allow for further tailoring of the app to meet specific needs. These three pros - time-saving capabilities, streamlined management features, and customization options - are frequently mentioned by reviewers as key strengths of the mobile HR app in question.

Slow Processing Screens: Some users have found certain screens in the software to be slow in processing, which can lead to frustration and inefficiency.

Confusing Terminology: Several reviewers have mentioned that the terminology used in the software, such as calling direct deposits 'net pays', is confusing and not intuitive. This can cause confusion and make it difficult for users to navigate the system effectively.

Clunky Recruiting Module: Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the recruiting module, stating that it is clunky and not streamlined compared to other recruiting platforms. This can hinder the hiring process and make it more time-consuming for HR teams.

  • Cost Savings.
  • Improved Efficiency.
  • Benefit Management.
  • PTO Management needs improvement.
  • The ad hoc report maker isn't as user-friendly as other functions. This could use improvement.
Overall, the software meets the majority of our organization's needs. Improvements are needed for PTO management and reporting.
PeopleGuru performs well against the other software. I find the PeopleGuru software to be more user-friendly and innovative compared to the others. Insperity TimeStar has a better layout for timekeeping and allows for more report options in regards to time and attendance.

  • Price
  • Product Features
The most important factor was pricing. We needed a product that would meet our organization's needs and that was in our budget.
I would have asked more questions regarding PTO management and reporting. I also would have considered the duties involved with implementation. The implementation process was the most challenging.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Benefit data uploads.
  • Uploading historical payroll records.
  • Verifying salaries.
  • Verifying benefit deductions.
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.
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.
I'm not sure.
I received a great deal of support for the week of implementation.
The software is intuitive and user friendly.
  • Payroll processing.
  • Uploading forms.
  • Pay Changes.
  • Onboarding
  • Ad HOC Reporting.
Yes
The app works well for employees.
