A couple of times I needed help and their customer support was great\! They answered me quickly and gave me what I needed. My employees like the modern look and it's very easy to navigate, and our management team likes the reporting capabilities. ----- ### "Year-end PHR Executive Director Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jenny** | *03 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like the ease of use and functions and PHR allows me to manage my team effectively. I really like the audit function that keeps track of time off for each employee. I also like how it keeps everything I need in one place. > > **Cons**: We are a non-profit and operate on a very limited budget. The cost to have all functions would be my least favorite part of PHR. > > We have had PHR for a few years now with no issues. I have had a really good experience and when I needed personalized support, it was there with a phone call. ----- ### "More webinars and a module manual" — 3.0/5 > **Stephenie** | *04 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that there is a variety of reports to access. I also like how easy it is for staff to use the time clock module. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve since there is no hard copy to reference for instructions. I also don't like that the modules don't communicate with one another. I have to pull reports out to Excel and manipulate the data there. It can be time-consuming. > > Overall, if I knew of a resource I could reference anytime I need to for instructions, it would be so helpful. I appreciate the ability to schedule a call, but sometimes I need to generate information quickly and don't have the time to wait for a call. I wish there were more webinars on specific topics, rather than fewer that are so packed with information it's tough to follow. ----- ### "Goodbye Spreadsheets: A Seamless Solution for Time-Off Tracking" — 5.0/5 > **Nathan** | *19 December 2025* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Time-Off module is straightforward and eliminates the headache of manual tracking. Before switching to PurelyHR, we always used a spreadsheet. What stands out most is the shared leave calendar, which gives the entire team instant visibility into who is away, making project planning much smoother. We don’t use the accruals because we apply a bucket at the beginning of the year, but the "Estimated Balance" tool makes it really easy to monitor all employee’s usage before the end of the year. The ability to approve requests directly from an email notification is a huge time-saver for busy managers. > > **Cons**: While the system is powerful, the initial setup for complex, non-traditional shift schedules can take a bit of fine-tuning to get exactly right. Additionally, the mobile experience is limited compared to the desktop version. It would be great to see more of the advanced reporting features fully optimized for the mobile app interface. > > My overall experience with PurelyHR has been excellent. It has successfully moved our company away from messy spreadsheets and "lost" email requests into a centralized, transparent system. It strikes a perfect balance between being robust enough for HR administrators to set specific policies and being simple enough for employees to use with zero training. It’s a reliable, "set-it-and-forget-it" solution that has significantly improved our office's transparency and work-life balance. ----- ### "Excellent product for small non-profit\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nichole** | *03 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All of my supervisors love the ease of employee attendance tracking and the time clock. Leave is easy for users to submit and supervisors to approve. The time clock works perfectly\! The price point is good as well for our small non-profit. > > **Cons**: I can’t say that there’s anything that I would change. Of course, things can always be cheaper but this product is very reasonable compared to other solutions. > > We appreciate how user friendly the modules are. We love the product and the staff are very helpful when we have questions\! ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/106836/purelyhr-time-off?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/106836/purelyhr-time-off) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
