Asure Time & Attendance vs. Homebase

AsureForce Time would work well for a company with a large volume of non-exempt staff, but the workforce would have to have very simplistic needs. Complex business rules and structure wouldn't be accommodated well by this solution.

I loved using Homebase! The best feature, by far, is scheduling in shifts! It really could not be easier! For restaurants and bars it is the easiest and best software! Using the payroll feature can be very easy! The only downfall is trying to separate scheduled worked hours and overtime. The layout is simple and easy to navigate. The only real con I can think of is that lag.

• The sync functionality between the clocks and the software, particularly the new clocks, is a plus.
• The Asure support team is very responsive.

• Homebase provides an easy way to schedule employees. Their scheduling platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to edit once the schedule is made.
• Homebase makes it easy for employees to switch schedules on their own, a manager just simply has to approve rather than physically rescheduling both employees, this is great for any small retail business or restaurant with many hourly employees.
• Homebase makes it easy to adjust hours that have been incorrectly clocked or clockouts that have been missed.

• The way the business rules are set up doesn't lend itself to easily supporting our specific business/users.
• The software doesn't interface with our HR/payroll solution as well as I'd hoped.

• Notifications could be more punctual
• Employees should be able to pick up shifts outside of their scheduled times! Right now managers need to do it.
• Importing hours on QBO payroll could use attention. Doesn't separate normal hours from overtime.

This product was selected well before I began with my company, and we'll actually be moving off of it soon to Ultimate Software's time & attendance solution.

Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

• We spend a lot of time internally on support and set up. Part of this is due to how the software was made and part is due to how our business is structured and changes frequently.
• We are able, though, to scale on top of it easily when we open new locations.

• Homebase has made the day to day management of employees easier, freeing up time for management to work on other things that help secure customer satisfaction.
• It has also made payroll easier since it's implementation and allowed for fewer mistakes than the previous manual method, leading to less monetary mistakes and happier employees.
• Homebase has made monitoring hours and overtime, as well as completion of internship and volunteer hours, much easier to monitor, leading to less confusion and more satisfied volunteers, interns, and payroll managers
