WR

William R.

SR HR Operations Specialist

BR

Ben R.

HR Manager

Cons

“Employees are unable to see the monthly accumulation of their sick/vacation time and seeing past time can be tricky as you have to go through a list”
KS

Kandice S.

Front Line Staff

“I dislike the redundant email notifications to both personal and work emails and far too many notifications regarding the quarterly review process (even when no action is needed).”
CB

Christine B.

Sub-Investigator

“Sometimes when I clock in or clock out for a meal it doesn't register and it's not easy to see current day's time reporting until the day is finished.”

Proposal Content Specialist

Cons

“The service dies a LOT more than I actually use and because we have no dedicate payroll staff, it is easy to forget some of the more arcane functions that are only needed a couple of times a year.”
FP

Frank P.

Manager

“Currently, if you input information on employee timesheets, the employee is excluded from rapid entry (they're listed, you just cant make any changes on there).”
KF

Kimberly F.

Junior Accountant

“If you have an employee on leave you are not able to view or edit their file within PowerPay which is sometimes required.”
