Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We use Namely as sort of a recordkeeper for employee information and Namely Time for timesheets. We needed a way for employees to record their hours spent on client projects and time off. We do not use Namely for payroll.
  • Social media type home page with birthdays and anniversaries
  • Easy to view employee information
  • Onboarding new employees
  • In benefits administration, in life insurance and disability sections, there's no option to include employees' bonuses as earnings. Therefore, employees' coverage and premiums are all incorrect.
  • Time off recorded in Namely Time does not transfer to HRIS, resulting in employees needing to enter their time off twice - in Namely Time and in their Time Off section of Namely.
  • In Namely Time, only the previous week can be copied into the current week. It would be helpful if time recorded could be copied to any week.

  • Use of timesheets has saved time in company administration
It was a little more difficult than expected.
It seems like they are open to improvement.
Namely is pretty easy to use, but there are some areas that could be improved. Namely Time could be more streamlined with Namely HRIS. Benefits administration is a little difficult to use.
