Overall Satisfaction with PeopleGuru

We are a rapidly growing consumer goods company that utilizes PeopleGuru for payroll, employee database, timekeeping, attendance tracking, performance evaluations, recruiting, onboarding, and salary budgeting. Our previous provider was extremely difficult to work with and since coming over to PeopleGuru, the efficiency and capabilities of the software far surpass our expectations. The payroll reporting is extremely robust as well as the Adhoc reporting capacity has been very helpful to the accounting, payroll, and human resource departments.
  • Payroll
  • Timekeeping
  • Performance Evaluations
  • Form I9 tracking
  • Employee Database
  • Recruiting module is very clunky and not streamlined. I've worked with recruiting platforms that are more efficient.
  • Job changes are a multi-step process that feels like it could be one screen asking all the necessary info regarding pay rate, date, labor, etc. whereas now you have to go through multiple tabs and screens to change someone's position.
  • Labor mapping seems to be a custom request every time when the pay rate is different for two different jobs. Feels like there is a lot of back-end work that needs to be accomplished before it pulls correctly into labor.
  • Would like to see an app with supervisor/time manager functions. At least to approve punch correction or time-off requests.
  • Advanced scheduling available to certain job roles instead of all or nothing.
  • Improved efficiency
  • Improved user experience
  • General ledger reporting
  • Labor distribution reporting
The implementation process was extremely customizable. We were able to set everything up regarding labor distribution, departments, payroll reporting, onboarding process, time manager's views, etc. The whole implementation process was very easy and the team was able to move very quickly considering we were on a tight timeline.

The payroll module and reporting are top-notch. The different reporting functions as a whole are great! Timekeeping is very easy to use but only when you have a computer/laptop. Definitely wish there was an app for Time Managers to at least approve punch corrections or time-off requests. Adhoc reporting allows custom reports that can be easily shared with other users.
