Overall Satisfaction with PeopleGuru
We use PeopleGuru for managing our employees HR information, timekeeping, and payroll. It is hard to find a system that fits any business perfectly, but they have been very good at working with us to address any system issues. We have automated our necessary forms, recruitment, onboarding, HR data management, timekeeping, payroll, & tax filing.
- Support great at pushing possible changes through development
- Ad Hoc Report writing
- Position change future dating
- Timecard reporting including approval (multiple reports to show timecard with approval)
- W2 Reconciliation Reports (had to calculate wages to verify accuracy)
- Benefit Plan effective dating & how it affects the deduction effective dating (results in payroll errors if not careful)
- Cost is reasonable
- User experience has gotten worse
- Report writing had become much easier & less limited with variables that we can use
We used both Kronos & Ultipro (now UKG) before switching to PeopleGuru, and the price is definitely better with PeopleGuru. As for performance from a payroll perspective, I liked both Kronos & Ultipro better. We left Kronos because the HR software was lacking, and left Ultipro due to timecard issues. PeopleGuru's payroll processing doesn't list Earnings, Deductions, and Taxes in the area where you would typically edit any of the 3 for adjustments. Instead, you need to open and close the payroll several times to pull reporting & verify Deductions/Taxes because this info isn't shown when processing manual edits.
