Access Development
The platform is super well oriented to provide location-specific perks and discount programs to employees based on their local marketplace. It covers all of the major restaurants/retailers/destinations in a given geographic region (and even nationally). It would be great to see additional offerings in the alternative space - vegan vendors, local vendors, etc. as a counterpoint to the tried and true national brands.

Much of the front-end employee onboarding is handled via a simple link. Further, when the employees have questions about their time, schedule, pay stubs, etc., they know they can log in to Workforce and 9 times out of 10 get the answer to their question. It has saved me a lot of time in that aspect.

  • Time off requests can get a little confusing, especially for hourly employees who may not be scheduled for 8 hours, but the default time off is set to 8 hours. I wish it matched their schedules because I have to correct time balances a lot.

Alternatives Considered

We also evaluated Tickets at Work - both are highly comparable options, but we went with Access Perks given both their incomparable discount network and mobile coupon program. The Access Perks website is also much easier to use, for both administrators and employees, and offers a more compelling discount/perk ratio across the board.
