Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We use Namely across our entire organization - for payroll, for performance, for paid time off, and more. We especially love how helpful it has been during this new normal that we are going through with COVID-19; Namely allows us to have access to pertinent employee information while in "Work from Home" status, and also allows us to get documents eSigned by employees through the eSignature portion of the platform. Additionally, Namely has cut down on a lot of time in processing payroll. The additional time has allowed us to put a new focus on onboarding with social distancing in mind.

Pros

  • payroll - super easy and so fast!
  • on-boarding - paperless, files instantly, goes through benefits, cuts down on completion time on the first day
  • time off tracking - easy time off requests, flexible, editable, easy to see what is remaining, used, requested, etc.

Cons

  • Partners (CEO's) with guaranteed pay don't receive a pay stub and that is really a hassle.
  • Implementation needed a better roadmap and timeline, but we made it through with little to no trouble.
  • Expedited payroll processing
  • Helped with digitalizing employee files
The support given is good, however I would prefer to actually speak to someone on the phone rather than to submit a case.
This platform is SUPER user friendly! I cannot stress that enough! It's easy to navigate and doesn't easily confuse employees which has been great when getting them transitioned into this new platform.

Yes

Would you buy Namely again?

Yes

Namely has been very well suited for us during the COVID-19 pandemic. We began working from home just prior to our full launch with Namely, which was after all pertinent employee information had been uploaded into the platform. This made the transition seamless from an HR standpoint on what information I needed on hand for our employees while at home. We've now been working from home for six months. During the course of that time, I've needed several documents signed by employees, however we have not met in person and/or did not really want to be touching the same documents due to the coronavirus. Namely's eSignature option through DocuSign has been a huge help for us in this situation.
