One of the nicest looking webapps I've seen in awhile, although the hashing over the demo screenshots is a little confusing. Also the colors of the title bar in the screenshots.
One issue I forsee, is how does it integrate with other HR tools? If I already have a database of employees, is there some way to automatically import that, or tie into that database? Is there some way to provide SQL queries to pull people's names, start dates, etc? (Maybe none of that is really relevant for smaller businesses anyway.) Finally, is there a way to define leave policy by years of employment? So employees are under one policy the first year, another policy up to 5 years, etc.

My only suggestion is change how the price grows, you can add a few cents or dollars each extra user, because if I have 50 users I won't pay some more dollars to add the 51th.
Another suggestion is to reduce the price per extra user as it will growing like, the first 20 users costs 0,50 cents each the next 20 costs 35 cents each, this kind of thing.
It's just a suggestion, but the site is really very appealing to the eyes and the application looks like very intuitive.
Congrats!

Honestly, the startup I work for got into the Managing Subscriptions business with their product and it has its own bag of hassles. If I add a seat in the middle of the month, do you bill immediately and prorate it, or wait until the next billing cycle? And if you do bill immediately, what if I delete a user and then add two more, do you bill me (prorated) for the two users, or only the one extra "seat"?
I'm not saying that you shouldn't go that route, just that sometimes more straightforward is better, sometimes knowing that I have the Deluxe account and if I want to add the Downtown office I'll have to upgrade to the Premium account makes it easier to understand. shrug.

On the pricing plan, why does it say "Evaluation" for the 3 for free plan? Does that mean that the plan will expire or some functionality is limited?
I'd take the "About Matter" section off the end. I have clients in the HRO space, and I tried to read it from their perspective, and the copy in that section is jarring.
Obviously, this is gorgeous compared to the other leave management apps that HRO companies have paid millions and millions to build or acquire.

Looks nice - well layed out, well designed, well thought out.I didn't try it at the service level but if I was looking for this type of app I certainly would feel comfortable trying it. Good job
I like the "perq" name... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PERQ
The name is a take on "perquisite".

A term that I never heard of until I started working on this project.

I imagined it had nothing to do with personal workstations... ;-)
How about a demo link where we can try it without registration.
That is high on our priorities. We first had to get the credit card integration working.
The Three-for-Free never charges your card, but I recognize the desire to not enter a credit card for a demo.

yeah, this one is a big one for me. stopped me dead in my tracks when i realized i have to give CC info for the 3 person trial.
Really, i just want to admire your design. the screen shots look great, and I want a closer look. Hopefully I'll learn a few things for the admin screens of my completely unrelated web app.

This is a great point, and something we are definitely thinking about. The challenge is you need a few users on the same account to for a real demonstration.
We are particularly proud of our UI/UX design. Perq is a product of Matter (www.matterco.com) and PRTCLR (www.prtclr.com). We are a design shop that believes we can create kick-a software.
Please view the application with the 'Three for Free' option. Right now we ask for a credit card number, even though the product is 100% free. We will be changing that soon.
Please critic.
