A great product for the right organization
- ACA Filing
- On-boarding module
- Detailed time keeping/project time sheet
- The Performance Review form - I would love to see this be less cumbersome and have more functionality - like other online forms
- Limited ability to pro-rate employee pay based on FTE. I would love to be able to type in their annual salary and adjust to their FTE to determine their current annual rate.
- The Compensation module is great for one time annual compensation changes. However, I would love to see how it could be implemented for one-off mid year changes without creating an entire program.
