HR & compliance software for agencies and studios
As an agency grows it needs one place for employee records, time off and onboarding. BambooHR is pleasant to use and has good onboarding flows. It costs $250 a month minimum on Core and payroll is extra, so a small team may pay too much; Justworks, from $79 per person, bundles payroll, benefits and compliance.
