    Planday is a wonderful first step in organizing team management, such as mass communication, scheduling, time off requests, and centralized timesheets. I used it for my retail business and found it to be extremely helpful in communication with my team and keeping track of everyone scheduling needs in one place. As we grew, I noticed a need to assign tasks, which would be very helpful for larger companies or businesses with daily tasks that need to assigned to specific team members, departments, or shifts

    If your employees are in a regular schedule (i.e. 9 to 5) with no overtime then WaspTime is well suited for you. In our case, we have different shifts, overtime, weekends, and double-overtime and we feel the software limitation since we have to double-check and use alternate Excel sheets to calculate the time. Our decision was also financial. We didn't want to pay every monthly forever, so in that aspect, WaspTime was one of the few prospects that kept it affordable.

    • The UI makes it very easy to get a snapshot view of the staffing levels for set time period.
    • Managing absences and arranging for shift swaps are also efficiently handled using Planday.

    • Managers can review and adjust clocked times.
    • Automatically generates reports, there are about 30-40 different available, but we only use one for payroll.

    Cons
    Planday
    • Holiday functionality - currently under review, new system launching early 2017 which will improve accuracy, calculate balances and deliver a more user friendly experience
    • Payroll reporting - data is not all relevant, could be more flexible
    • Schedule - could be more flexible to show employees consistently working across the group on one schedule

    • Doesn't calculate overtime for Canadian properly as our rules are slightly different and consider both daily and weekly total for overtime.
    • Can't set own payroll cut off days, as a company we had to abide by their given rules.
    • Problem calculating times for weeks splitting two cut-off periods. The problem is that the software is not considering the fact that the worker has worked the whole week and that the rest of the week is overtime.

    Ultimately Planday is the perfect tool for simple straightforward team time management, communication and scheduling. I would like to see a task management feature added to Planday and perhaps some integration for employee rewards. Planday is leaps and bounds above Quickbooks Time, and TimeClock Plus but falls behind Deputy only slightly by having less features available. Overall I would recommend Planday to any small business owner with a team of 5-20

    In fact, I don't remember the names of all the competitors we compared. What I do remember is that WaspTime were one of the few that didn't have a monthly cost. We had to pay an upfront cost for the user license but that was it, and I think they were the only one doing that. One of the other requirements that it met was that it exports the times to our company accounting software, and they were the only one able to do it. Most competitors handle everything on the cloud. Sadly we haven't used that feature yet, we are happy the way it generates reports

    • Streamlining of the payroll process throughout the company.
    • Having to manually calculate certain employee's times because the software can't handle certain situations.
    • The ability to check someone's time whenever we want.
