Overall Satisfaction with BrightHR

Calendar - When booking holidays users can only see their own departments bookings. We need to see holiday bookings across the company but if we give access to all users they can see all other company records that they cannot have access to. The Calendar aspect needs to be universal. Can this be done without giving access to all other records on individuals accounts?

Pros

  • HR records
  • Payroll
  • Training

Cons

  • Universal access to the calendar across the company
  • When uploading training certificates being able to upload straight from the course once completed to an individuals record rather than having to download the certificate and then upload to individuals record separately.
  • Definition of holiday 'with bank holidays included' and 'without bank holidays included' and being able to change this function if needed.
  • Better HR communications
As in previous questions there are some niggles that need addressing - calendars - uploading certificates and bank holiday management
