Sling vs. TimeClock Plus

Sling offers enough customization I can see it working in most any scheduling scenarios. The ability to build job types into each employee gives you the control to match employee skills with the need for any particular position. Time of day templates makes it easy to select various shift times.

I think the best place for TimeClock Plus to work would be at a restaurant or a busy business that has a lot of people to track and needs a robust dashboard to keep things in order. For my organization, we only have around 10 people max per location and it was a bit too expensive and complex for our needs. We could use a simpler system.

Incentivized

• Ease of access for managers & employees alike.
• Sling staff always reply almost right away when I have had questions in the past.
• We love utilizing the different colors for the schedule, so it's easier to see who's what and where/when.
• Easy for staff to apply for shifts.
• Free version does everything we need it to!

Incentivized

• Track hours
• Track hour details
• User-friendly as an employee
• Allows our team to stay compliant
• Track PTO
• Manage time sheet on a day to day basis

Incentivized

• Notification system is weird
• Limited features for free
• Confusing layout at first

Incentivized

• Would be nice to see at end of day hours currently worked. Instead you have to do this using another function.
• Should be simpler way of putting employee's schedule in time clock rather than copying and pasting week after week, month after month.
• Should be a way to archive old employees.

Incentivized

• The support representatives respond quickly and work hard to resolve every issue. They are always friendly and courteous.
• The email notifications are our most significant issue, and they are still not entirely resolved.
• I dislike having to sign forms to allow them access to the databases routinely...it seems this could be an annual document.

(it has been 3+ years since I evaluated other programs, I don't recall the names)

We switched to Namely for our HRIS system and they had a time tracking solution integrated within their software which made us no longer need to utilize TimeClock Plus. Namely's time tracking also flowed seamlessly into our payroll which made the process much simpler and easier to use. The reporting is also much easier to utilize.

Incentivized

• It has been much easier to fill shifts faster
• It's easy to train new staff on with ease

Incentivized

• Positive: The ease of not manually tracking clocking in and out.
• Negative: Expensive and too robust of a software for a small team.
• Negative: The app is dated and needs an update and can be slow.
