HRIS software made for Canada

Folks HR (used to be called Allié RH back in the day) is a solid solution for Canadian SMBs. Their support is GOLD and this is honestly one of the key reasons to switch. If you are tired of having to deal with long wait times between tickets, Folks HR is the way to go.

Pros:

- bilingual HR software, it's a must for a company operating in Canada and Quebec. - great KPI module to help managers reach their HR goals - timesheet PER project (what a lifesaver!) - great value for money

Cons:

- no e-signature and that's a bit annoying but we can absolutely manage without it - the demo is a real demo not a trial

Reasons for choosing Folks HR

Price. Support. Truly bilingual in Canada.

Reasons for switching to Folks HR

Price and support. Also, let's be honest, the French interface is only 35% translated into actual French and not some horrible Frenglish.

review for folks

The experience is rather positive than negative, however it takes some time to get used to or around some small things, such as majority of the support is in French, understandably so, but still it would be nice to be fully bilingual.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

User friendly and straight forward to use and implement. Good range of functions, easy to set up and use.

Cons:

There are some limitations to reporting and display. For example, for expenses - if the report is long and has many line items with reciepts to download, it would be helpful to have a "download all" button instead of going into each row separately and downloading a receipt. Vacation norms are not calculated in advance, so when employees are going to book time off they don't see how many days of vacation they'll have in the future.

I dread using Folks

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Unfortunately, there is nothing I like about this product.

Cons:

This tool drives me up the wall. Have used it both as an employee and a manager. - No SSO support, annoying email "2-factor" login. - Very clunky UX unclear where I will find different functionality. - UI is not engaging, it's not "fun" to use. I don't feel like I am getting any work done. - I work in a fully web-app environment, this is the only app that routine fails to load. - Routinely fails to save input information making me have to review everything numerous times, save a draft outside of the tool in case of failure.

A great HRIS for a small organization

Compared to other HRIS that we've used, set-up was easy, maintenance is a piece of cake, the price is incredible and customer support is superb.

Pros:

Folks HR does everything our organization needs it to do at a very reasonable monthly cost. The set-up was relatively easy and their customer support is excellent.

Cons:

Nothing that I like the least, in fact, the opposite. They keep improving the platform and sometimes that means that training tools are a bit out of date, but a quick email to customer support gets things straightened out quickly.

Reasons for choosing Folks HR

Much better pricing and no pressure tactics from Folks HR... and it's Canadian.

Reasons for switching to Folks HR

Cost and overall useability of the platform. Also LOVE that this is a Canadian company.

I can't say that I have anything not to like, it is an easy program. I just need to take time to show other workers that I supervise how to use the system, when or if they get a computer/tablet, etc. Some workers do not own, cellular, tablets, computers. Therefor I need to submit their work time.
