About

WorkBright is a specialized I-9 compliance and E-Verify platform that keeps organizations audit-ready and confident in managing employment eligibility, especially across complex, high-volume, or distributed workforces. It runs 150+ automated compliance checks to catch errors before submission, supports all three Section 2 workflows, and uses industry-first document verification technology to detect tampered or fraudulent documents. Built-in E-Verify case management, plus TPS and EAD support, keeps ongoing eligibility and reverification simple as workforce needs change. Teams that would rather hand it off entirely can add WorkBright+, full-service I-9 management where AI agents backed by human compliance experts run Section 2, E-Verify, and reverification end to end, with 100% of eligible fines covered on the cases we manage. Whether software or fully managed, the result is a compliance-first solution that keeps I-9 processes fast, flexible, and always audit-ready.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I am very pleased with the ability to either manually enter timesheet hours or ask employees to clock in and out. Having all employee data in one place is an excellent resources, and I look forward to utilizing the benefits management portion of the platform to further streamline our onboarding process. Creating custom reports that can aggregate the needed data in one spreadsheet in minutes is also a feature I use regularly for many different HR tasks.
  • GoCo has a sleek, easy to use interface. We get compliments often about how easy and straightforward GoCo has made the onboarding process, which makes a great first impression on new employees who are just joining our agency! It also has vastly cut down on the administrative burden of scanning and filing paperwork into employee personnel files.
  • I like that all our on boarding processes are digital, organized, and user friendly. I really like how easy it is to start my hiring process.
  • GoCo, an easy to use HRIS system, has allowed our employees to have a seamless onboard experience. So many previously antiquated tasks are now easy to accomplish.
  • The interface is user friendly. Customer service is incredible. Always making improvements - I feel like my suggestions/feedback are heard.

Cons

  • The time off scheduling is difficult to manage with prorated part-time employees, as we have to create a new time off classification for each amount, whether they work 20 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, or so on. We have a lot of part time personnel and this has made using the time off feature both time consuming and frustrating. Inability to edit benefit information as it changes (we switched dental plans mid-year and could not input this from the employer side at all), and also inability to find our carriers in the system, has made implementing benefits administration difficult.
  • It is a little high priced for our non-profit budget.
  • Some of the forms are not complete are can't be signed. Like the background check authorization. There is no field for my employees to sign. It's also a little clunky for the I-9 verification process. For instance, when the employees provide their social security card and ID in one area, I have to download and upload myself. The system is not aware that the documents have already been provided?
  • As an HR admin, there is a lot to learn. Integration with payroll has been challenging, based on how we need to track employee hours for invoicing and billing, but this may be an anomaly of our company.
  • There are a few things that don't integrate well with other products.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • WorkBright has significantly increased both our efficiency in processing I-9 verifications, and increased our confidence in compliance. New hires that go through the I-9 verification report ease of use with uploading documents and signing their I-9, and it allows our HR team to easily onboard remote employees. The system also will alert us when documents are expiring, which is a great feature. The price for the platform is reasonable, especially considering the compliance piece and ease of use for both new hires and admin. Overall highly recommend for any organization.
  • Easy Remote Onboarding User-Friendly Interface Automated Compliance Time-Saving Features Great Customer Support
  • I've had an amazing experience with WorkBright! The platform is incredibly user-friendly and efficient. It has streamlined our onboarding process and made managing HR tasks so much easier. The support team is always responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for any business looking for a reliable HR solution!
  • I really like the user-friendly Interface the platform is intuitive and easy to navigate. I also appreciate the remote I-9 Verification WorkBright simplifies the I-9 verification process, allowing new hires to complete it remotely.
  • WorkBright made it a simple process to be able to remote verify i9 and it was also easy for the candidates to do their part of the process.

Cons

  • Although not often, we have had a handful of new hires over the prior few years have trouble logging into their account or uploading documents. We've been successful in troubleshooting by using the chat support, but it still happens with maybe 1 out of every 40 new hires that joins (usually those who struggle with technology).
  • There are times when it does glitch and you have to manually resend.
  • While WorkBright offers many benefits, there are a few potential drawbacks. Some users may experience a learning curve during setup, and the platform's customization options can be limited for businesses with specific needs. Additionally, it can be on the pricier side for small businesses, and integration with certain third-party tools may not always be seamless. Some users have reported longer wait times for customer support, and the mobile app may not be as feature-rich as the desktop version. Despite these minor issues, WorkBright remains a strong choice for many businesses.
  • While the platform is mobile-friendly, we have heard from some users that they can have difficulties in uploading identification documents and navigating the application process.
  • The pricing of WorkBright is higher than the other programs but it works.
