Overall Satisfaction with HotSchedules

Hot Schedules is used for all aspects of employee scheduling, and the managing of labor hours, clock punches, and shift forecasting. Hot Schedules is currently used throughout the company.
  • Copy & Paste shifts save time and help to eliminate errors when scheduling.
  • The ability to determine and calculate labor hours per employee and department
  • Easy user interface
  • I wish there was an ability to "clock-in" employees separately, As in when they arrive outside of their scheduled time. Currently, you either have to get the employee to clock-in, followed by a manager approval, or you must wait until their shift is over to adjust.
  • No ability to adjust clock-ins, while an employee is still on the clock. An employee starts a shift, manager is delayed in getting them clocked in when they arrive, requiring later adjustment.
  • Does not show reasons for managers allowing employees to clock in, when a shift isn't scheduled. I'd like to know why.
My company chose this system

I have previously used Aloha systems, and Hot Schedules is better.
Ease of use, and ability to access from any location is best. Difficult to manage time, however, when the internet is down, or the service is interrupted.
