Payroll that works in practice
Payroll support

Six G2 accounts praise support/usability and workflow; none clearly establishes a country-specific EOR employer arrangement. Reported fraud/error reduction is an opinion, not a controls audit. Country benefits, funded correction deadlines and human escalation SLA remain gaps.

Employee data & security
Android disclosure
Google Play listing’s developer-supplied Data safety section says data is not encrypted, while app description markets secure payslip access/enterprise-grade security. It lists location, personal info and three other data types, deletion requests and no declared third-party sharing. This is a material disclosure to reconcile, not a tested vulnerability or proof every Cercli system lacks encryption. Detail endpoint was inaccessible and no app/network test performed.

G2 repeated six
The previously failed G2 pros-and-cons URL is now recovered. It displays the same six native accounts already stored, dated January 2025 to August 2026, with five Organic labels and one G2 invitation without an explicit incentive label. Their complete positive/negative/problem sections were read and no additional identities counted. Praise concerns payroll, HR and support; an integration wish and short-tenure limitation remain explicit.
Research finding · Sources
Marketing, directory pricing and customer counts are attributed to their source. They do not establish negotiated terms, independently measured performance or current country service quality.
Funding

This supports a funding event, not current solvency, audited payroll volumes or a client-money guarantee. Announced AI/recruitment expansions are not evidence all features are delivered.
