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. ----- ### "Customer service good, some modules not developed." — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *May 28, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The onboarding and working with \[sensitive content hidden\] was great. She provided all the training to our staff. The system is easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: The performance appraisal module is not the best. The expenses module is not great either. It lacks a lot of customization and updates are not implemented unless others customers also request it. > > Overall, I find them responsive and easy to deal with. I wish we knew more about the performance module limitations before we jumped in with 2 feet to use it. It has a lot of growing to do. ----- ### "Five Years In and Still the Right Fit" — 5.0/5 > **Yusr** | *May 28, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been using Folks HR for around five years and it's consistently delivered great value. The platform is well-priced for what it offers, no unnecessary complexity, just the features that actually matter for day-to-day HR management. After an initial adjustment period, the interface becomes very intuitive and our team navigates it with ease. In five years we've encountered very few bugs, and the platform has been consistently stable and reliable. The team at Folks is helpful, responsive, and open to feedback, and the training they provided from the start helped us get up to speed much faster. > > **Cons**: The learning curve upfront can be a bit steep, new users may need some hand-holding to get comfortable with all the features. Certain sections like banked hours/overtime tracking aren't as intuitive for employees. A more guided onboarding experience would help. On the integrations side, expanding payroll provider compatibility would be a great addition, having switched providers ourselves, a seamless automatic integration would make a real difference. > > After five years, Folks HR remains our go-to platform for everything from onboarding and offboarding to timesheets, vacation and absence tracking, and maintaining complete employee profiles. It's grown with us as our team has expanded and continues to meet our needs without overcomplicating things. The platform is intuitive, the value is there, and the team behind it is what truly makes the difference, always available, receptive to feedback, and genuinely invested in their clients' success. We wouldn't have stayed this long if it weren't working, and we fully plan on continuing with them for years to come. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/215886/folks-hr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/215886/folks-hr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
