Pros

“Features like onboarding, employee records, and time-off tracking are well organized and efficient, which helps streamline processes and save time. While there are some limitations in customization and more advanced features, the system performs reliably for core HR functions.”
LW

Louie W.

Project Coordinator

“The interface is intuitive, well-organized, and makes HR processes much simpler on a daily basis, especially tasks like employee management, time-off tracking, and onboarding.”
TR

Tamires R.

Payroll analyst

“It simplifies daily administrative tasks like checking vacation balances and submitting feedback. While the user experience is generally positive, resolving the stability of the org chart and adding an "auto-save" or longer session duration for feedback forms would make it much better.”
SG

Santiago G.

Product Manager

Pros

“It even integrate with calendar app and I can see my team mates who are on leave and can see my leaves right though my calendar.”
Mk

M k.

SDE

“Pause application was very useful, as we were able to track each employees leave balance being admin and also useful for checking calendar if an employee applied leave or not.”
SS

Syed S.

Customer Experience

“One of the standout features of Pause is its seamless integration with Slack, which makes it easy for teams to manage their leave requests and approvals without having to leave their communication platform.”
RG

Rishabh G.

SDE-2

Cons

“Also, for new hire paperwork, it is difficult to parse the forms and then there are glitches when new hires fill out the forms (also it doesn't work right on the app, so they are forced to use a computer to fill out the forms)”
LF

Laura F.

HR Associate

“Every single time I want to add a candidate, I have to manually type or copy-paste all their details and resume info into the system. When you're doing high-volume hiring, this wastes hours of my week.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Denis M.

Recruiter

“The inability to view time off requests on the same page as the time card made it very difficult to get a good overview of time needs without constantly changing screens.”
LH

LuAnne H.

Billing Specialist

Cons

“The main disadvantage of pause is it does not have basic HRMS features like employee profiles, ability to upload their documents, onboarding etc. If some basic features are added then there is no need to look for other solutions.”
AS

Abhishek S.

Team Lead

“This is not right since weekends are any case off and this way the number of leaves get wasted since pause includes the weekends as my off.”
TA

Timothy A.

Customer Success

“Whenever I opened the portal, I felt like it took a lot of time for bootstrap loading which made UI experience little bad for end user.”
