Pros

“The when I work app allows you to modify or make requests for schedule change and everyone can see it and respond.”

Lauren J.

Stylist

“It helps to track attendance and can be linked/synced to the business payroll (I used When I work and send the attendance ( work hours info) straight to QuickBooks for payroll—readily available customer support.”

Stenie O.

Owner CEO

“Employees can view schedules, request time off, track time, and swap shifts all in one space!”

Geoffrey P.

Pros

“I have worked with this platform for years and they are crucial to my success across multiple locations with myriad staff members who come and go, and changing shift needs.”

Ari F.

Owner and Operator

“Even when they start their permanent requests offs a month later, it will automatically start the request off right away therefore, employees have to manually enter their request offs for every day and time their are in class for each week of the semester.”

Helene T.

owner

“For example we have shifts that start at 8pm on a Friday and finish at 4am on the Saturday. ”

Joanne M.

Desk Services Manager

Cons

“No cons to mention except the fact that We do not utilize the time card functionality, including the ripple and all the reports that much to its capacity.”

Sirada J.

Pharmacy

“I can only see my accumulated hours after I’ve fully clocked out, which makes it difficult to monitor my time throughout the week and avoid going into overtime.”

Jessy R.

Patient Care Coordinator

“It works well overall but has some issues, like schedules not showing up in the app at times, and doesn't have some features that we would like, like the ability to log staff in automatically when they're on the premises.”

Jon C.

Box Office Manager

Cons

“I'd much rather use them than integrate every little thing with our POS company.”
