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.”

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.”

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.”

Cons

“Missing tax accounts and never figured out or notified us for months- that payments were being withheld- but we had no account set up for withholding- to deposit tax payments in.”

Ronda R.

Bookkeeping

“Occasional mobile app glitches and syncing delays can also be frustrating, especially for staff in the field.”

Wendell M.

RFD

“My paystubs and tax information is not available on the app so I must navigate to a website which is not as user friendly for mobile.”

Reggie W.

Driver

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.”

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.”

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.”
