Pourquoi passer à Homebase

Avantages

We used ADP for 6 years. When we moved to Homebase we decreased our time doing payroll and onboarding. The system is rock solid and very easy to use. When I have a question, they are very responsive. The Homebase team is fantastic!

Inconvénients

In our business the government requires breaks every 4 hours and in order to make sure that time is deducted by the system, we have to manually enter it for each employee's shift. While it does not take too long, it could easily be automated and I know other payroll system do it automatically.

Avantages

It handles employee weekly pay easily, job scheduling, and in-app messenging.

Inconvénients

The mobile app is horrendous, very difficult to navigage scheduled jobs, assigned jobs, and completed jobs. Cant add job photos, hard to tell if a shift was picked up by an employee after posting. Using the desktop version is not feasible as we need to access the app on the go.

Avantages

Ease of use; support staff is easy to contact, knowledgable, and extremely nice. Love all the features- payroll, tax collection and payment, ability for staff to exchange shifts, messaging feature, data gathering, scheduling, organization of onboarding. Homebase also works with MD/Dc tax reciprocity.

Inconvénients

Geo-fencing doesn't always work with off-off brand old phones

Avantages

It's super easy to put together a team schedule,

Inconvénients

I wish that you could add a lunch break within the shift you are scheduling without having to split it up and make it two separate shifts on the same day.

Avantages

Scheduling is easy. My employees have gotten used to checking the app for their schedules.

Inconvénients

A bit pricy for a minor upgrade. I don't need all the bells and whistles, but I'd pay a small upgrade fee for the features available in scheduling upgrade.

Avantages

It's easy for new users to get set up. Users can log time for multiple jobs or projects.

Inconvénients

The only option for capturing time by a worker is to use a timeclock system, they can not manually enter time worked for a specific date.

Avantages

I like the easy layout. Even someone with limited computer skills can understand use this program.

Inconvénients

You can not always resend an invite to a worker. If the worker does not accept and add it to their phone the first time, it is not always available to resend the invite to the worker a second time.

Avantages

Lots of options but works if you just want timesheets

Inconvénients

not a great way to distribute credit card tips

Avantages

It provides notification for employees and it has scheduling that's easy to access

Inconvénients

I didn't like the fact that I couldn't do anything else on Homebase other than scheduling - I already have QB for accounting.

Avantages

Integrating time cards/house with payroll. best customer service for anyone who provide scheduling and payroll.

Inconvénients

Don't know..i dont fully understand all the different plans.

Pourquoi passer à Homebase

Avantages

Its very intuitive and easy to navigate. Online connectivity makes it easy for multiple managers to use it for specific roles.

Inconvénients

Homebase "updated" their online scheduling and now its more cumbersome to use - multiple refreshes are necessary to keep up with changes (its frustrating)

Avantages

User friendly, highly functional, efficient and effective mobile platform, great customer service!

I've never had an HR or work app that employees and management unequivocally love ... but Homebase hits the mark for everyone!

Inconvénients

Homebase costs us more overall than any other products we've used but it's worth the money.

The "time off" tracking functionality is really basic and not as robust as I wish it was.

Avantages

easy to deal with and figure out able to train others to be able to use it as well

Inconvénients

there was nothing to dislike about the program

Avantages

The ease and simplicity of using Homebases features is what makes it a phenomenal product for our company. It's excellent solution for our company because of all the features it offers. Homebase is a part of our daily operations, not just for its timeclock functionality, but we use homebase to communicate as a team.

Inconvénients

The only thing that I do not like about Homebase is when a new hire already has a profile with a previous company that uses Homebase.

Avantages

Ease of use, Ease of training, Ease of executing payroll reports

Inconvénients

We have a connectivity issue everyday. This is a hassle, because the employees do not notify the business office and we find out about later. The employee usually remembers the time, but if they don't we use other measures for the time.

Avantages

Everything! From the ease of use, all the way into how easily we could manage/edit/change everything! I have honestly been on both sides of using this app, within the health / home care settings! It’s great all the way around, from both points of view!

Inconvénients

Unknown. No answer. Nothing to complain about or no dislikes come to mind initially!

Avantages

Simple interface, quick timesheet edits and complete edit/history tracking for all changes made to anything in their system.

Inconvénients

The applicant tracking and job posting system is terrible. No app integration, mixed up listings if you have multiple businesses with different names, only one landing page listing jobs for all your locations combined...the list goes on. Skip this unless you are only one location or all of your businesses share the same brand/name.

Avantages

It does way more than advertised. Love the scheduling (both staff and events). Love the communication facility. Love the timesheets and tracking!!

Inconvénients

Hmmm. It’s not free? Seriously, I have not identified any material, enduring issues.

Avantages

well organized, simple to use and understand

Inconvénients

would like to do more on the phone app.. see when they were first added to HB

also easer solutions when folks have been on it before and need to sign up again working for us

Avantages

Easy to navigate, manage employee shifts, communicate with the team...it's a no brainer! Use it, you will not regret it!

Inconvénients

Not much really. Pretty intuitive to navigate.

Avantages

I only use it for schedules but it does everything that my staff and I want.

Inconvénients

Nothing to complain about on the team members and scheduling tasks

Avantages

We like that our employees can be notified of schedule changes quickly, and they have the ability to trade shifts.

Inconvénients

We are very happy with Homebase. We have no cons.

Avantages

It's easy for my employees to use and it takes the hassle out of keeping up with hours manually

Inconvénients

Getting employees to use the available/unavailable dates properly. I hire a lot of students that have differing hours of availability that changes often

Avantages

We have used Homebase for our needs for the last 7 years. There are many features that are nice that we use. The timeclock is the main feature that we use as it allows our team members to clock in and out right from their phones. It also give them how many hours they have worked and how much pay they have made.

Inconvénients

The message and schedule feature is hard. The Message feature constantly stops working so our team members dont get the notifications. Also trying to schedule for a month at a time is very hard and it could be easier. I have asked that they make it easier but nothing has changed.
