Pros

“It is good value for money, tracks time easily, helps keep track of schedule and helps in editing the schedule, make request or changes to the schedule, etc.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Malika K.

CEO

“At the time our organization used iCIMs with UKG my role was as primarily an Onboarding Manager, but because of my systems, reporting and analytics background I was often asked to pull reporting for our [sensitive content hidden] and this is where my experience with UKG was gained.”
LC

Lisa C.

Onboarding Manager

“The reporting tools can feel limited or less flexible for highly customized needs, and generating more advanced reports may require extra steps or support.”

Stephanie O.

Owner

Pros

“I can quickly identify shift inaccuracies and ensure that they are fixed prior to payrolls being locked.”
EM

Elizabeth M.

Payroll Assistant

“Hot schedules will adjust your labor as you schedule people, so if employee a is close to overtime and you schedule them you will know instantly if they hit it and by how much time.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Mallory T.

Executive chef

“High schedule works across multiple companies, so those multiple companies tie in together when it comes to the website so it makes things super efficient”
NW

Nathaniel W.

Chef

Cons

“It is not compatible with our current payroll system, so we have to do manual work to process employee payroll, which adds extra steps and time to the process.”
WR

Will R.

SR. HR Operations Specialist

“Unable to tab between fields in some pages which causes issues when completing timesheets from scratch”
KW

Kevin W.

Owner

“The notifications are annoying as they ping me about everything (no matter what) as long as it is related to Mo. And I always get confused with the "boost" button and I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly and also occasionally the application will crash when I attempt to load a picture into it.”
SO

Sergei O.

Co-Founder

Cons

“The inventory feature of HotSchedules can be finicky on devices outside of a computer, meaning you have a hard time entering data unless you record it and take it back to a computer.”
LW

Leahya W.

Assistant Manager

“The integration with Point of Sales system is tricky and time consuming. ”

Derick C.

VP of Finance

“Mobile function was lacking, and the cost of the app was prohibitive for general employee use.”
