Findmyshift Reviews

Easy to plan shift, easy to see your shift and your team can clock in clock out in 1 go

You can not change your shift on mobile, you can only see it

I was originally drawn to this software as my original digital roster program simply priced themselves out of the market and I needed to entertain alternatives. I liked that I was provided a template at no charge to trial. This enabled me to properly road test and gauge if it was software I could navigate.

I had to ask numerous questions to seek advice about populating rosters. What is obvious now, was not when I originally started using this software. Again, this is most likely operator error. I could see hours and costs on my previous roster platform, and hide them from the printed version. I can't do that with findmyshift, at least not to my knowledge. I would like to if it is possible?

findmyshift is a friendly app with a very nice and easy to use interface where you can manage employees from anywhere and any device from your web browser.
allows real-time monitoring of employees either in a single company or in several at the same time. where you can monitor with your clock application the hours that employees are working and automatically generate automated reports to calculate payroll and manage costs.
very easy to program, we can manage perzonalizables database and configure reminders of daily changes, notifications by email, text messages or push notification.
As if that were not enough, it allows deducting personnel breaks and making smart calculations to generate a payroll.
and all this we can store it in a completely secure way in the cloud with backups.
findmyshift can use it totally free of charge up to 5 employees and provides us with enough documentation to see everything you can do. and with a very low price we can manage an unlimited number of employees, perfect for large companies and with several branches

It is very difficult to see something negative in this application, since it has several years in development and improvement.
the only negative would be his dependence on the Internet to manage. since if the Internet fails, we could have administrative control problems.
It should be developed in more languages.

We love the fact that you can add as many staff as necessary without paying per person, particularly as we use a wide database of freelance contractors, so we have may only use some of them on rare occasions yet we don't have to continually pay just to have their name sitting in the app.

The fact that you can't zoom in and out whilst viewing the calendar to be able to see several weeks at a time on screen.

We've been using findmyshift for years to manage the staff rota for our carehome. Being able to access it anywhere with an internet connection, make changes etc has been invaluable.

The holiday management within the software doesn't suit our industry very well, great for straightforward hourly rates for staff with hours that never change and where additional payments aren't a consideration but doesn't account for the fact that employees must be paid an average wage for their time off taking into account regular overtime, flat rate bonuses for shifts etc. As such, i need to keep a separate spreadsheet for this.

Can do monthly salary summation, unlike a lot of software which default to a weekly view for shift workers.

Companion phone app not great. Web version works well though.

Great flexibility between facility view and staff view. Different filters and preset filters allow me to tailor rota for different areas in hospital. Product support is excellent. New features added regularly.

I haven't managed to coordinate our leave cycle which runs from 1 April to 30 March with the leave reports which appears to take annual allowance from 1 Jan-31 Dec. It might be possible but haven't found feature yet.

It's really straightforward to use, the login clock is ideal for our scenario where we might ask people to stay on past their shift time if it is busy.

We have a lot of young employees who are only legally allowed to work 4hr shifts at a time, so we have a considerable number of employees, although it's actually only the equivalent of 2 full timers and 1 part timer. It makes the software quite a lot more expensive as we pay for each member of staff.

I wish there was an offer for small businesses that allowed us to pay for hours shifted per week, rather than by employee.

I like just about everything about findmyshift.com. I have been using it for several years now and have found nothing that compares for the price. I find it to be easy to use, functional, flexible, feature packed and also like the mobility of it.

It would be nice to see biometrics built into the database for automatic time clocking... as an option it would be nice to have the feature to have a daily sign in sheet that can be used online by supervisors to check their staff in easily.

I like how easy it is to use for both workers and managers, no matter if you're in the office or working from home.

Some faults when using on versions of Google Chrome, Better holiday functionality for half days and not including days not worked in calculations.

Can log in from anywhere to check and like wise for staff

When a staff member finishes and you put a final date in, or you remove that staff member, it removes them from all history. Would be useful to keep on, from that point back, so you could look back on shifts and see where that staff member was allocated.

We run a vet practice with five sites and use the software to plan rota for future months and show vets which duties they have each day and allow them to request holiday etc. It is a huge leap forward from paper planners and our other previous methods.

I find it a little fiddly to view our setup on mobile or smaller devices, but this is mainly down to the number of staff I'm attempting to organise.

Email notification of shift changes; visually

Should be able to enter a start date and end date range when entering Time off without having to select all the dates (e.g. 2 weeks). Should be able to right click and enter the date range, as oppose to having to view multiple weeks, or selecting the date entering one date of Vacation and them going back in and adjusting the end date.

Easy to Use, and can tailor make to specification. Good reports and downloads. Exceptional cutomer service anytime.

Slow to make changes but this may be my internet.
If you can have an HR package linked for keeping documents and custom build induction training for example staff can log in and do training which can be monitored. See what IRIS do in their packages on www.IRIS.co.uk that would be great.

Easy to use. Looks good - the interface is simple and customisable

Small bugs in the system that are of no consequence (admin emails sometime come addressed to the wrong person but to the right address)

Very easy to plan shifts and make changes, and keep track of holidays and days off. Really easy to add and remove staff and keep track of hours and staffing costs.

No major issues, the system for adding holiday could be a bit more streamlined. The system for tracking sick leave could be easier as well, would be good to be able to see sick leave as a percentage of work hours

The calendar is a vital tool in our planning and the running of our pub - our staff are relieved that they have something relatively easy to access and use. The noticeboard is a great feature and is used every day to communicate information to staff. We haven't started to use some of the other features just yet but can see the potential going forward. Not really had the need for customer support but good to see its not very hard to get.

Have tried numerous times to identify ways of allowing staff to respond to noticeboard messages - there isn't one! The mobile app is very restricted, our staff can only see the shifts patterns each day and little else. There is definite room for improvement on the app.
Would like to see loyalty discounts on continuous extension purchases.

How easy it is to use - staff find it very easy and as a manager its perfect when on the move to quickly deal with rota changes.

The amount of time it takes to enter the background colours each week!

When you choose a room that has a different background colour - it changes everything in the box or makes the background white.

Flexibility of use - the different views of locations are great. I like being able to colour different locations - a simple thing, but very handy!

Speed of screen saving and loading - seems to take ages. Holiday days are also a bit problematic - visibility of amount of holidays staff have left is a bit tricky.

It is very intuitive and it is easy to repeat the sections of the schedule that are ongoing assignments. Information is seen so quickly that I can respond to the request of the customer without hesitation.

If a employee quits and then returns there isn't an easy way to show both of the periods of employments.

It is very easy to use and laid out in a functional way. The pricing is good and this makes it affordable to smaller companies. Staff can control their own leave and monitor from anywhere and allows a greater freedom.

We have part time staff that don't work set hours on set days, we cannot factor this in to the holiday requests and have to amend every request by dividing the amount of hours worked over the days wanted on holiday by the number of days to give an average for each day. If a profile of working days and hours could be built for each staff member that would account for these hours the system would be fantastic and would warrant a five star review from me.

not too many features, has the time clock feature and the best way to track and keep records on old staff / leave application

mobile version sucks. the desktop on a mobile is annoying to use. I want to be able to access the whole roster on the mobile version without the names of staff moving out of line of their roster!

The interface is clear and easy to navigate making it easier to signpost employees. The rota is simple to produce and amend when necessary meaning staff are notified asap when changes take place. The software allows employee interactivity at whatever level suits the business.

It can at times be too regimented - although at time of writing this review I cannot recall the specific incident that supports this statement. The mobile app also seems to require constantly updating which frustrates some of our staff who only access their rota/noticeboard this way.

The ability to assign shops, and then add that to different staff. Helps for budgeting for each unit especially with ability add payscales
Colour coordination by shop and staff member

Slightly clunky when editing cells and changing shifts etc.
Few additional features - clock in and out, holiday tracker.

The ability to easily amend to bespoke with the help of the support team, adding extra functionaility. The ease of being able to see all the planning required up to 20 weeks.

can be a bit glitchy - occasionally dates don't line up but its rare! we generally find it really good, no major problems or errors and the team are quick to help and support when we need it
