BambooHR
Employee records, PTO, and onboarding for 20 to 200 people
BambooHR is the HR system small companies grow into: employee files, time off, onboarding checklists, performance reviews, and reports. Payroll is an add-on. Prices are published: a flat monthly fee up to 25 employees, then per employee.

For 6 people: $250 a month.
BambooHR costs $130 more than the median HR & compliance tool for 6 people ($120).
BambooHR pays for itself if it saves 8.5 hours a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
