Overall Satisfaction with Justworks Hours
Boomr is used across the whole organization for time-keeping and tracking shifts weekly. In general, it addresses the need for a payroll administrator to edit shifts remotely, for example if an employee forgets to clock out. Shifts are always initiated by the user and can edited by the user when appropriate.
- Boomr tracks daily work hours and weekly totals automatically. The system sends weekly email reminders of the work week ending and digests of the previous week's hours worked.
- The interface is intuitive and easy to use and understand. Open the mobile app, select your location and click "Track time." The app also tracks break times, and shifts can be edited afterward.
- Boomr makes it easy for the payroll department to gather payroll information at the end of a week.
- One area for improvement is the ability to access an active shift on multiple mobile devices. Currently, if you clock in on one device and try to clock out on another, the system gets confused and the shift will not end properly.
- Pay rate information does not appear to update in the system when pay raises are awarded.
- Something I'd like to see added is the ability to program future shift schedules and work reminders for employees. Would be an added bonus to an already highly functional app.
- Finally, I'd like to see a reminder of when employees are approaching overtime hours, like an integrated countdown clock.
- Positive: increased efficiency for shift employees and payroll admin.
