## Reviews

### "Great vacation tracker for salaried EEs" — 5.0/5

> **Sheryl** | *20 December 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, it is very user-friendly. I especially appreciated the year to year renewals of vacation accruals so that it never needed to be done manually.
> 
> **Cons**: I found some glitches with my employees vacation time but overall did not run into any big issues.

### "Solid, customizable and scalable, platform for time and employee management." — 5.0/5

> **Lars** | *20 December 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a lot of features that can offer complete customization for the needs of the business.  I specifically like the modular pricing structure; allowing a business to choose what features and functions they need and not requiring that business to have to pay for what they don't. I also appreciate that they offer a non-profit discount, which is really the only reason we can afford to use the service. I've also found their customer service very responsive.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish they had a dedicated app to make it easier for employees to access their time off and time sheets.  I also wish they had some additional customization for schedules of each person to allow a better sync between time off and time sheets.
> 
> Overall we've been very happy. We've been a customer back to the Time Off Manager brand.  Over the years I've evaluated other platforms, but have continued to find PurelyHR the best platform for our needs, with the best ROI for u.  We've continued to renew our subscription year after year because of our appreciation of the tool.

### "Human Resources Manager" — 3.0/5

> **Mishelle** | *11 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy access for the staff to put in time off requests. This process is simple and easy for the staff.
> 
> **Cons**: Isn't sophisticated enough to accrue our staff vacation time. Time off policies do not apply correctly to our different shifts.
> 
> Moderate. We have not been happy with the fact that Purely can not accrue sick and vacation time accurately.

### "Working with PurelyHR" — 4.0/5

> **Lise** | *11 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like PurelyHR because everyone can see who is off and when, it's an easy way to keep track of banked time accumulated and taken and it helps me do up my timecards.
> 
> **Cons**: There are things that we need to be able to do that we can't do yet in PurelyHR such as putting a cap on lieu time as our staff can only accumulate a certain amount of hours.
> 
> My overall experience using PurelyHR has been a good thing.  It has simplified my work as the Executive Assistant and my work doing timecards and keeping track of banked time etc.

### "Review Purely HR" — 4.0/5

> **Wendy** | *5 December 2025* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its ability to have multiple time of policies and performance reviews.  Although we have not yet started
> 
> **Cons**: It is hard to navigate how to add time off policies and group the time off policies.  Training took a while
> 
> Purely HR representative was great.  She was responsive and navigated the application pretty well.  She was also available and happy to meet.
