How to fix BambooHR not working
BambooHR is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach bamboohr.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Try BambooHR in a private window
Use Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome, or Command+Shift+N in Safari, then sign in through your company's BambooHR link. If the page loads there, your normal browser profile has a stale session or a bad cookie; close the private window and clear cookies for it in your browser settings.
Clear BambooHR site data
In Chrome, click the site controls icon in the address bar, choose Cookies and site data, then Manage on-device site data and remove the BambooHR entries. Close all tabs for the service, reopen the sign-in page, and try again; a stale cookie can cause a login loop after sign-in.
Test the BambooHR app on mobile data
Update the app from the App Store or Google Play, then open it on mobile data instead of office Wi-Fi. If it works there, disconnect your computer's VPN and retry the browser; the office network or a VPN setting is the likely cause.
Ask HR to check your BambooHR access
If only your login fails, ask your HR admin to check the access level on your employee record and compare it with a coworker in the same department. Send the exact page and error text; that lets them see whether Time Off or Employee Files is blocked for your account.
While BambooHR is down: what to use instead
- ADP Use it if your team already has an ADP account and needs a pay run or HR record handled while the app is unavailable.
- Gusto Small teams with an existing Gusto payroll account can pay staff there until the HR app responds.
- Workday Larger employers already on Workday can handle time off or worker records there while the HR app is down.
- HR phone or email Reach your HR contact for time-off approval or pay questions if the app will not load.
Problems at the same time as BambooHR
Since 9 November, BambooHR's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when BambooHR goes down
BambooHR is HR software for small and midsize companies, used mostly in the US for employee records, hiring, onboarding, and time off; HR teams and employees depend on it for daily admin and self-service. An outage interrupts employee records and time-off approvals, and it can leave staff sorting updates through email and spreadsheets.
The first sign you hit is often a slow login or a dashboard that will not load. Time-off requests and employee record edits can fail, and onboarding tasks or payroll exports can stall after that. Problems can be partial: the mobile app may still open while browser sessions error, and one office or region can show worse symptoms than another. A cluster of reports in the 24-hour view is the only signal the status page can show, so check the top of the page before you assume a single bad connection.

How we track BambooHR
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for BambooHR, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for BambooHR, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. BambooHR doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
