Pros

“Not only can we communicate with staff and update scheduling, there are forms for staff retention as well as a reward system that we can use to keep our staff motivated.”
CK

Christina K.

Manager

“We have a few different roles in our business and it requires each of them to have their own shift with that when updating the same shift I wish there was some way that we could update the shift once instead of having to change each one for the different role eg: connected shifts.”
CM

Courtney M.

Operations Coordinator

“The platform provides a wide range of useful tools for managing employees, communication, scheduling, time tracking, and daily tasks in one place.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Bob F.

CEO

Pros

“The platform keeps track of each employee's PTO time as its being used and the employee can see how much PTO time they have on any given day.”
BS

Beth S.

Deputy Director, Community Affairs and Police Services

“The only drawback I’ve noticed with eSchedule is that it can feel a little overwhelming at first because of all the features. Once you get used to the layout, though, it becomes much easier to navigate.”
LF

Lana F.

Administrative Assistant

“The timekeeping component integrates well with our payroll system.”
CR

Cindy R.

HR Director

Cons

“We discovered during payroll processing that regular, overtime, and vacation hours were not transferring correctly, resulting in all hours being imported as regular hours.”
AS

Anthony S.

CIO

“The current layout tends to focus on upcoming items, making it less intuitive when trying to review past events or quickly view an entire month's schedule at a glance.”
AM

Amy M.

Owner

“It can be difficult to give setting to different users and admins, having multiple places to assign different things is confusing would like it if all setting being assigned to users and admins were in one place.”
NM

Neleh M.

Guest Services Coordinator

Cons

“The appearance of the schedule on the website is somewhat cluttered and difficult to read, with all of the shifts at different facilities in one long list.”
CB

Cory B.

Emergency Physician

“I can't think of anything that I don't like about eSchedule. When I needed something changed to fit our agency better, the programmers were able to accommodate the request.”
JM

Jennifer M.

HR Director

“Signs out too quickly.”
