### Most mentioned pros

- The payroll support, HR advice, health and safety guidance, employee handbook, and other documentation tools are extremely useful and help us stay compliant.
- From payroll assistance and health & safety guidance to employee handbooks, templates, and training materials, everything is available in one place.
- Bright have supported me with ensuring I am compliant, supporting my staff, streamlined absence logging and supported me with employee dismissal.

### Most mentioned cons

- For our business we were unable to use the clocking in and out software due to multiple locations on different days, if we had employees in one location and on a weekly rota this would of been ideal .
- Split up between several apps which hinders usability considerably and tracking overtime hours/inputting regular hours is left to those in 'manager' roles with special permissions, meaning all employees have to track their own overtime manually, day by day which is unsustainable and leads to a lot of guesswork due to the admin involved.
- The only issue I have had was the point of contact not being updated which meant because the POC had left the business, I was not getting emails or calls about payments, however this was swiftly fixed by [sensitive content hidden]

#### Pros

nothing.

#### Cons

I signed up for BrightHR and approximately two hours later realized that my existing bookkeeping software already included the functionality I needed. I contacted BrightHR immediately, explained the situation, and made it clear there was no realistic possibility I would ever use their service. Despite contacting them within about two hours of signing up, they refused to cancel the agreement and expected me to remain committed to a 60-month contract. What frustrated me most was the complete lack of flexibility or reasonable customer service. I wasn't trying to cancel months later after using the service. I contacted them within hours, before making any meaningful use of the product. I attempted to escalate the issue and asked to speak with someone higher up who could review the situation. They refused to provide the name or contact information of anyone above them. I understand businesses have contracts, but there is also such a thing as reasonable customer service. Expecting someone to pay for years for a service they notified you within hours they would never use is, in my opinion, extremely unreasonable. UPDATE: After posting this review, BrightHR’s Head of Service contacted me with what they called a “mutually beneficial solution.” They offered to reduce my five-year contract to two years and provide a larger discount — on the condition that I remove this review. Think about that. Rather than allowing a customer who tried to cancel almost immediately to walk away, their solution was still two years of payments, tied to removing my negative review. I find that astonishing. I’m sharing this so prospective customers can see how BrightHR chose to handle the situation and judge for themselves.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

I have been using the payroll solution and it is easy to use. The solution is competitively priced and cloud based. Compared to Sage 50 payroll it is a much cleaner and streamlined solution.

#### Cons

There are many functions to Bright HR and it can be overwhelming with all the tabs. The HR and Health and Safety documents included are useful but again a lot of information with not a huge amount of practical use.

### Excellent company from start to present

My overall experience with BrightHR has been genuinely excellent. The sign‑up process set the tone from the very beginning — they made us feel valued, listened to, and supported, rather than just another sale being pushed through a system. Everything was explained clearly and patiently, with real care taken to ensure we understood how the platform would work for our organisation. Since joining, that level of support hasn’t dropped. As we’ve been setting the business up on the platform, the team has consistently been on hand to help, especially when we’ve made a few user errors on our side that needed correcting. Nothing has felt like too much trouble, and every interaction has reinforced that BrightHR is invested in helping us get things right. Overall, it’s been a smooth, reassuring, and genuinely positive experience from start to finish.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The thing that stands out most about BrightHR is how completely it covers everything a setting like ours needs, without ever feeling complicated or overpriced. It brings all the essential HR functions into one place, giving us a system that is genuinely great value for money while still feeling polished and professional. BrightHR securely stores all our employee information, giving real confidence that sensitive data is protected and handled properly. The platform’s structure makes it easy to access what we need, when we need it, without ever compromising security. And having qualified HR professionals available at the end of a phone call is a huge advantage. It means expert guidance is always within reach, whether we’re dealing with everyday queries or more complex situations. That combination of strong technology and real human support is exactly what makes BrightHR such a reliable and reassuring system for us.

#### Cons

We’ve genuinely not identified any negatives at this time. BrightHR has met every expectation we had of the system, and so far there hasn’t been anything we’ve disliked or found problematic.

My overall experience with BrightHR has been very positive. The support I received was outstanding, especially from Sho Karengesha, who was extremely patient, helpful, and supportive throughout. Whenever I contacted her, she made sure to call me back and always came back with a clear and useful answer to my questions. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication made a real difference, and I felt confident that I was receiving the right guidance every step of the way. I would happily recommend BrightHR based on my experience.

There were a couple of updates and processes that could have been communicated more clearly, and sometimes it took a little time to get information sorted. However, these were minor issues and did not significantly impact my overall experience.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

onboarding and introduction of the software

#### Cons

1. Communication and Customer Service Issues : My experience with this company has been marked by significant communication breakdowns. When seeking specific information and answers to detailed questions, I was repeatedly transferred between agents without receiving the precise materials or responses I required. This pattern of ineffective communication not only wasted considerable time but also demonstrated a lack of proper training or coordination among customer service representatives. 2. Contractual Concerns : The contract terms present serious concerns regarding customer rights and fair business practices. Most notably, the cancellation clause requires payment of 80% of the remaining contract period, even when cancellation is warranted due to service deficiencies. This punitive approach to contract termination appears to prioritize revenue retention over customer satisfaction and service quality accountability. They didn't even notify me prior to the renewal which raised a red flag to me. When service quality issues directly contribute to a customer's decision to cancel, the company should reasonably adjust termination fees rather than maintaining such restrictive financial penalties. This practice effectively holds customers financially hostage to substandard service. 3. Legal Compliance Concerns : The contract terms raise questions about compliance with Ontario commercial law and consumer protection regulations. Under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and related commercial legislation, businesses must ensure their contracts contain fair and reasonable terms. The 80% cancellation fee structure may potentially violate: -Consumer Protection Act provisions regarding unfair contract terms -Common law principles of unconscionability -Provincial regulations governing commercial contracts and cancellation rights I recommend that potential customers carefully review these contractual obligations and consider seeking legal counsel before signing. Current customers experiencing similar issues may wish to consult with legal professionals regarding their rights under Ontario commercial law. Recommendation Based on these experiences, I cannot recommend this company's services. The combination of poor communication, restrictive contract terms, and questionable compliance with consumer protection standards creates an unsatisfactory customer experience that potential clients should carefully consider.

As the Chief Operating Officer at Virdis Chemicals, I originally chose BrightHR looking for a simple, streamlined system to coordinate team training. It delivered on that goal amazingly, but we have since expanded our use to handle everything from company policies to employee appraisals. Every single aspect of the platform is well-designed, intuitive, and highly useful. Combined with top-tier customer service and predictable, value-packed pricing, it has become an indispensable asset to our business operations.

Exceptional Customer Service: The support team is second to none, consistently friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and highly helpful. Outstanding Value: The 5-year price lock perk is excellent, allowing us to add new employees without increasing our monthly rate. User-Friendly Interface: The entire platform is incredibly easy to learn, navigate, and adopt across the organization. Comprehensive Toolkit: Features extend far beyond basic tracking to include excellent policy management and employee appraisal tools.

#### Cons

No Major Complaints: The system meets all our current operational needs perfectly. Feature Scope: It takes a little time to explore all the available features because the platform offers so much functionality.

We’ve been using BrightHR as our staff portal for clocking in, storing employee details and managing documentation, and overall it’s been a really valuable system for our business. BrightHR offers excellent value for money. The platform covers everything we need in one place – from time tracking to secure document storage – which saves us both time and admin costs. After reviewing our account, we realised we were paying for features we didn’t actually use, and this was resolved quickly and fairly. The communication has been fantastic, especially from [sensitive content hidden]. We had some issues with our account setup, including the wrong point of contact being listed, and [sensitive content hidden] was superb from start to finish. She was proactive, clear, and incredibly efficient in getting everything corrected. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and she kept us fully informed throughout.

#### Cons

The only issue I have had was the point of contact not being updated which meant because the POC had left the business, I was not getting emails or calls about payments, however this was swiftly fixed by [sensitive content hidden]

#### Vendor response
