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

“The swap shifts save literally hours of my life. If teachers want to swap classes, they do so themselves within the app.”

Blerta K.

Language Instructor

“Sling has been great. While there are some limitations on how we can schedule, the information we can apply, and reports being minimal, it's a great scheduling tool.”

Kylee M.

Event and Destination Manager

“Overall, the price is good for the service we receive, but I wish we had more education specific features such as knowing which instructor was teaching the language level we were at.”

Blerta K.

Language Instructor

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 didn’t dislike anything feature wise, but rather had issues with reliability for notifications coming through to mobile devices or the app not loading chat messages.”

Brendan A.

President

“The only thing I find annoying is that employees are sorted by first name only--and I can't adjust to sort by last name.”

Lauren A.

Administrator

“This could be remedied by turning off notifications during this period of time, however this made it a risk for forgetting to turn notifications back on and missing important future communication.”

Britta J.

Media Producer
