Homebase
Homebase is a very cost-effective program that does a good job tracking employee hours as well as what employees are working on. It is extremely easy to use and has a lot of self-service features, which give employees information at their fingertips. Homebase integrates well with our payroll provider.

This is a great platform for small business owners who are looking for an affordable way to let employees track their time. The user-interface is easy to navigate, reports are set up logically, and you can customize as much as you need. I'd recommend this to any business owner struggling to find an easy way to track time...without having to spend a lot of time to do it accurately

Cons
Homebase
  • The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
  • The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
  • The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.

  • Export reports are a bit clunky
  • Sometimes shows "all employees" even when just one is selected
  • Sometimes hangs up at log in requiring a refresh

Usability
Homebase
Homebase is very easy to use. Not a lot of training or direction is needed to get it going. Easy feature to track employee hours. Able to use centrally located tablets for employees to clock in and out. A very cost-effective system that also saves time when processing payroll. Employees love its features.

No real complaints on this one except maybe with how clunky the export excel docs are. But that's more a function of Microsoft than it is MyHours as excel drops in a pie chart at the top (not needed, actually) that then scrunches the rows and columns of the data you're actually looking to review.

Alternatives Considered
Homebase
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!

Can't really say as we didn't get too deep into using their time function. For QBO, it was just a pain to set up, and no one loved the interface

Return on Investment
Homebase
  • 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

  • Reporting is clear and easy to adapt (saves us time)
  • Cost is marginal compared to having employees submit separate timesheets that then have to be manually coded
  • Easy to customize reports to see what's really going on (saves money if we can see opportunities to raise a rate or lower hours)
