As a small non-profit organization, PurelyHR is very sophisticated for us and provides everything we need and at a cost that we can afford. Every time I have a question, the response has been swift. > > **Cons**: Pro: the team did an amazing job setting up our organization profile however I didn't learn much for because it was done at lightening speed. I have found it to be a little confusing when onboarding new employees - but their customer service has been great\! > > We've only had PurelyHR for about a year now and while there is a learning curve, it is very intuitive for the users. ----- ### "Review of HR" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *24 May 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly for the staff member in using the program > > **Cons**: Termination of an employee. I found it took way too long to find the actual delete tool. ----- ### "Great PTO tracking system" — 4.0/5 > **Christine** | *17 December 2025* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. The setup was fairly straightforward. We do not use all of the available tools in PurelyHr. However, we plan to look at more reporting options in 2026. > > **Cons**: Some of the reporting. Would like more customizable options. We would like to be able to create more custom reports than the standard ones currently available. > > Good. However, employees find it hard to understand sometime. From an administrator's perspective, no issues. ----- ### "Affordable but missing features" — 4.0/5 > **Dana** | *5 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We really appreciate the cost of the platform. It's one of the most affordable options for a small company (\<25 employees). We like the timesheet audit so you can see when the live clock in/outs were. Many other software options were missing that. The onboarding is a great process and allows us to customize per employee or department. Having employees be able to login and choose their location (office or remote) is why we have stuck with this software for now. > > **Cons**: While there have been many updates in 2025, there are still things that are missing in PurelyHR or not compliant. The signing of documents is a useless feature. We can't see the signed doc (signature ON the doc). We can only see the employee signed it which would not hold up legally. Also, their vacation accrual is not compliant in Alberta. We have to use another software to calculate compliant vacation accrual. It needs to be based on vacationable hours worked and it's not. Having report templates would be great - we have to find, create, and customize reports every single time because there isn't a way to save a template. It's really inefficient. This is perhaps the most frustrating missing feature that would cause us to leave. While we are not completely satisfied with PurelyHR, it's the most affordable option for now but we do have to use several other software, plus excel docs, plus a payroll system, plus an ATS, plus others to get the info, reporting, and Human Resources features we need. It's definitely not a one-stop for all of your HRIS needs. > > The overall experience has been mediocre. Their support is quick but really unhelpful. Either they don't know or send the wrong information. Often replies seem canned and do not relate to what was asked. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32676/purelyhr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32676/purelyhr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
