Why HR & Team Management SaaS development is hard to get right
BambooHR, Personio, and Gusto charge $8โ$25 per employee per month โ expensive for SMBs with 50+ employees
Leave management with approval workflows, accrual calculations, and carry-over rules is always underscoped
Multi-tenant architecture (each company is an isolated workspace) must be designed from day one โ retrofitting costs double the build
Employee self-service (request leave, update profile, view payslips) is a distinct UX from manager and HR admin views
