I always receive exceptional support from HotSchedules but the time that stands out the most was when the HotSchedules system went down and I couldn't see the roster of who was working a particular shift one day. The representative was quick and professional and provided me with the information I needed in a quick and timely manner.
It is well suited for employee shift swaps, pickups and shift releases.
