## Reviews

### "Great program." — 5.0/5

> **Gloria** | *October 3, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is fast and efficient and most of all easy to use
> 
> **Cons**: 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.
> 
> At first it made me anxious, I thought i was going to be complicated, once I started to use it in a very short time. I saw it was so easy and efficient.

### "Community Inclusion Worker" — 5.0/5

> **ALLAN** | *January 6, 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Once you figure out where everything is it is easy to navigate
> 
> **Cons**: The calendar to for overtime doesn’t have clear lines

### "That's all Folks\!" — 4.0/5

> **Jack** | *December 6, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: After using the Folks HR system for the first 20 minutes, it was easy to understand how to use the system. It takes me 5 to 10 minutes out of my week to enter my informaton into my timesheets.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I would critique is when the user enters their Timesheet hours into the text boxes. The text boxes seem to be slanted towards the right of the dates on top. Perhaps, this can be straighten out.
> 
> Overall I am pleased that our organization moved to an online HR system that is as robust as Folks HR.

### "FolksHR - A true HR lifesaver" — 5.0/5

> **Bradley** | *September 30, 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FolksHR is very user friendly and allows our company to to track all aspects of our employees life cycle.
> 
> **Cons**: No communication thread/reporting to the administrator when a supervisor grants or denies a vacation/absence request.
