Pros
I love the idea of moving to a paperless system for my employees. Customer support is excellent - very helpful and approachable.
Ease of use for staff, mobile app is so helpful and the ease with which information can be updated.
My experience with customer service has been outstanding, training and response issues have been handled with maximum efficiency.
Cons
Your receipts don't have your VAT number on - how hard can it be. I want to be able to export all data so that I can see what fields are missing for which employees.
If you don't wish to subscribe any longer your a bit lost with all your data.
When I declined, he cancelled my service as what they invoiced me didn't cover what I was getting.

Demonstration of system

Reviewed 3 years ago

I had a really good call with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to introduce me to our new Bright HR system. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was very professional and understanding during our call. Excellent customer service skills and understanding when the original call time had to be slightly delayed. Really pleased that I now have an understanding of the system.

Pros

Very easy to navigate...................

Cons

Not at this stage.......................

Vendor response

Great for managing a large amount of peoples Annual Leave and Toil

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Its an easy tool to request and manage your employee's Annual leave. The ability to add additional time off through toil is also a useful tool as its clear and transparent in terms of how much time you have left to take

Cons

There is a lot of services on the platform so sometimes you can get a bit lost when your trying to find something specific but over all its great

Email Support can be slow/poor

Reviewed 6 years ago

I've asked twice for help with Bank Holiday and leave carry over concerns and response was slow in the first case and no reply to date for the second ? Software is easy to learn as both an administrator and user, support issues leave room for improvement.

Pros

Ease of booking holidays and other absences.

Cons

Will not automatically add in Bank Holidays or carry over unused leave to next year.

Vendor response

Sorry to hear about this issue, we're currently reviewing this internally so that we can improve what we do.
