Overall Satisfaction with HotSchedules

We use it for hourly and management employee scheduling. We also use it for a lot of our intercompany communications - especially broad announcements that we need to get out to many people very quickly. HotSchedules is also great for keeping track of employee certifications. HotSchedules allows us to maintain a healthy sense of accountability, since all communications are easily referred to.
  • Group communication
  • Certification tracking
  • Employee accountability
  • Schedule layouts can be difficult to read
  • Slow response when editing schedule blocks
  • Messaging center could be more elegantly designed and user-friendly

I'd prefer to use only HotSchedules, for the potential ease with which one could streamline all aspects of employee maintenance. For instance, since we use 3 separate platforms, it is easy, around payroll time, to end up with discrepancies and have to triage those at the last minute. Each serves its purpose, but it would be more efficient to use just one.
Great for scheduling across various departments. The ease with which you can build discrete employee blocks is particularly useful. Also, HotSchedules provides easy to use group messaging features that correspond to specific employee blocks. HotSchedules' history features also make it easy to track employee performance - attendance, punctuality, certifications, etc.
