Unifocus

Avantages

What has been my beneficial feature is the customizable reports of the scheduled work performance.

Inconvénients

This tool is abit harder to setup and configure.

Avantages

I find the most useful features are the attendance management, so tracking when people have called in sick or have been on holiday or going on holiday. The fact that employees can submit holiday request through the app, which streamlines the process and also being able to approve shifts and check when employees have clocked in and out.

Inconvénients

The scheduling of employee shifts every month is very time consuming and takes many hours. Although they have features to do automatic examples it does not apply to the business as we have to change shifts very regularly and sometimes last minute.

Avantages

I love the fact that i can track my hours as an hourly employee and notify managers of any discrepancies. in addition to this i have the possibility to notify managers in advance when i need time off.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately the app has always been very buggy. however, lately its been much worse. For at least a month now, I have not been able to view my past timecards to check my paystubs. Additionally, the application has no way to notify team-members or anyone that could help from the app developer/company side.

Avantages

I like the easy simple interface and easy labor forecasting

Inconvénients

Some details are not available using the app

Avantages

Easy to use.
Easy to install.
Plenty of uses

Inconvénients

Sometimes the system crashes and they dont list updates right away

Avantages

I like UniFocus' ease of use and that it integrates with our other systems the most.

Inconvénients

There is quite a bit of company set up that must be done to take advantage of UniFocus' tools, but it's all worth it.

Avantages

I ears of it but never use it it’s very good to use

Inconvénients

It’s fast to download and use and u can do a lot more than ever

Avantages

Its easy to use, convenient to track payroll,

Inconvénients

I wish the mobile version would have full functionality

Avantages

I like the fact that this software can ensure we never pay less than minimum wage for a tipped employee. I like the fact that we set a rule for holiday pay and the software is able to execute that properly. I like the AUDIT tab so we can see who is touching the timecard and the Job Summary tab

Inconvénients

The reporting feature is less than ideal because the system can't deal with employees having multiple jobs in multiple companies. When we terminate people from the system, mysteriously, they pop back up onto the system. This is the worst problem with Unifocus.

Avantages

It allows you to see your schedule and co workers. For easy access to switch schedules. It also allows you to check the hours you have worked.

Inconvénients

I don't really like that you can't talk to your bosses or co workers

Avantages

Ease of manager's entering schedules, correcting any employee clock in errors and reporting. The reporting and forecasting tools are an important part of our day to day operations, and allows our managers to easily schedule according to anticipated business levels.

Inconvénients

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I wish I didn't have to go in and out of the tabs/screens so often. I wish they would retain all functionality (keep the gear on the screen) so once you correct something, you don't have to go completely out of the tab, and then reopen it in order to export time.

Avantages

Not a fan of the software. The software is not the most intuitive.

Inconvénients

Not a fan of the software. It is not sync with ADP. The benefit calculations for PTO aren't available. Specialized reports are not easily avail.

Pourquoi passer à Unifocus

Avantages

I have yet to find that "wow this is great" feature

Inconvénients

support - ease of use - connectivity - reports - frustration - we seem to struggle with the clocks - finger scan to operation - to reports - interface with ADP - would prefer to be on one platform

Avantages

I have been doing payroll for a team of 20+ for just about 5 years. The UniFocus program is very easy to use. I use it daily and have never come across any major issues. If I am on the go and quickly need to view something, I use the UniFocus app, which is convenient. It tells me who is on shift and allows to me approve requests for time off.

Inconvénients

The one thing I don’t like about the UniFocus app is the inability to change the type of time off my employee wants to use. For example, I had an associate input a time off request for 8 hours of personal time, however, they had 0 hours left. On a computer it is easy to swap that to a vacation day or floating holiday, but I cannot complete this function on the app.

Avantages

I really appreciate the ease of use and intuitive UI. It really has the flexibility to accomplish whatever you might need to do and has the ability to really understand real world scheduling.

Inconvénients

The training program is a little dense and could be better tiered out. It's a big system to try to teach in one sitting.

Avantages

It helps with forecasting and recording the punches'

Inconvénients

There is nothing that I don't like about the software

Avantages

Shift view in the past was an awesome time saver which unfortunately has been removed with the new upgrades, bring it back.

Make the setup so it fits on one screen please

Inconvénients

Since the upgrade staff and shift do not fit on one screen.

BRING BACK SHIFT VIEW, this is how I set up the week, then fill the shift. The upgrade has somehow managed to make this a longer process then it once was.

Bring back the binocular view, so I can set a colleague up for the entire week. Old setup was much faster.

Avantages

Time clocks and labor management synergy

Inconvénients

Many of the reports are very difficult to use for the purpose we need them to be used for.

Avantages

User friendly and welcoming mobile app.

Inconvénients

needs to have a schedule display option on a screen rather than just printing.
Employee management can be better UI such as drag and drop to different job positions
Current schedule does not show any alert if there is a conflict from the previous week's schedule.

Avantages

I like that this software makes it easy for businesses with large staffing numbers. It make it much easier to create a schedule that has to be so different across each day.

Inconvénients

Long loading times and clunky point tracking system make using it some days stressful.

Avantages

I like the labor management tools that are available on a daily basis. It is a very easy program to use and understand. The forecasting and integration with our other systems is seamless.

Inconvénients

Fixing the issue of UniFocus, Snag and DDHP not being able to communicate properly when an employee is not removed in a timely fashion. If an employee is still scheduled in UF after an employee is termed.

Avantages

The overall end results on a day to day, week to week are good

Inconvénients

Program pulls into too much information to generate ease of use

Avantages

It is easy to use for logging my employees time and attendance

Inconvénients

There are many features that are difficult to use, for example, if I am trying to apply schedules for each employee, when you have 25 plus employees with changing schedules , the program tends to be a lot of work to complete.

Avantages

I like that it's easy to navigate. I work with lots of non-native English speakers as well and access is easy for them and everyone.

Inconvénients

My Unifocus crashes on the daily, a few times a day. I can use it for a bit, shut my phone off, then go back to the app and it crashes or logs me out automatically, even though i clicked "remember me" when signing in

Avantages

Allows us to run reports in order to be cost-efficient with our staffing

Inconvénients

The Web base option for scheduling can not be used from an iPhone and it needs to run from internet explorer
