    Great software that gets the job done with ease

    Edited: Sep 02 2025

    Summary: Overall, my experience with Folks HR has been positive. The platform is easy to use, with a clear and organized layout that makes everyday tasks more efficient. It has helped reduce the need for direct communication with HR or managers for routine actions like tracking time off, which saves time. Customer support has also been a strong point, with timely and helpful responses whenever questions came up. The software covers the core HR functions well and keeps everything in one place, making it a practical tool for ongoing use. Getting started with the system was smooth, and it has continued to support my daily work effectively.

    There are a few improvements that could enhance the user experience further. It would be helpful if the left-hand menu displayed the subsections under each main section, so navigation could be quicker and more direct. On the Timesheet page, being able to view the current week along with the previous and following weeks would provide a better overview and help catch errors or missed entries more easily. These are not major issues but small changes that could make an already solid tool even more efficient.

    Folks HR does a good job of streamlining HR tasks and providing reliable support, with room for a few enhancements that could improve the overall experience.

    Positive: I found Folks HR easy to use. The layout is clear, and everything feels organized in a way that is simple to follow. It helps save time with tasks like tracking time off, since you do not need to contact your manager or HR staff directly.

    I also appreciated the customer support. When I had questions or ran into something I didn’t understand, even if our HR staff had to reach out to Folks HR, the response came back quickly and was helpful.

    The software seems to handle the basic HR functions well and keeps everything in one place.

    I have been using Folks HR for a couple of years. Getting started was smooth. Our HR team took care of the setup, and learning to use it was straightforward. Overall, it has been a useful tool for handling everyday HR tasks and saving time.

    Negative: I don't have many criticisms about Folks HR. However, one feature I would like to see is the ability to view subsections directly under the main sections on the left-hand menu. For example, under Time Management, it would be helpful to see options like Absences, Vacations, Banked Hours, or Timesheet listed right away, so I could click on them directly from the main page.

    On the Timesheet page, it would also be helpful to view the current week along with the previous and next weeks. This could make it easier to spot upcoming irregularities, such as national holidays, or to notice anything I may have forgotten to complete in the previous week.
