He even repeated lots of items I was having difficulty with. > > **Cons**: Nothing so far. It is a lot to take on initially and there is a lot of onboarding but I wouldn't have done any of it myself and now its all done\! > > Excellent. Very professional and leave me feeling more confident about taking on someone\! It's very daunting but Bright HR and have made it seem straightforward. ----- ### "Overview of the platform" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, Employee records creation, saving documents and sharing it with employees for review and consent is good. > > **Cons**: Can we look at a feature to submit weekly or monthly timesheets when working with contractors; while we dont use the rota or shifts, we use a manual timesheet right now that would be good to have on the system > > \[sensitive content hidden\] had been very kind to walk us through the portal, promptly briefing us on features and connecting us to more information. ----- ### "BrightHR - Excellent" — 5.0/5 > **Roderick** | *17 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its keeps my payroll and all that comes with it, well organised. It helped organise the holidays, keep my books in order. > > **Cons**: I can't really say anything that bad, since the platform is easy to use and the service is very good. > > Very Good.

More training or keeping up to date with their clients requirements should be met. > > As a Company we are only commencing to use it to the best of our ability, I regret that I had not the time previously to invest and use it more. So hopefully it will be a great benefit to the Payroll department in the future. \[sensitive content hidden\] from Bright HR was very informative on a training session today, he explains everything so well. ----- ### "Helpful chat with the employee tom" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *6 March 2026* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Performance and Speed, Learning, help, niceness of the person tom that i was chatting too, was extremely helpful > > **Cons**: no cons were experienced during the chat that was with the employee \[sensitive content hidden\].
