Timetastic Reviews

- It works consistently, quickly and intuitive and easy to use
- The wall chart makes it really easy to see where people are in/out of the office
- Automatically detect clashes and show them when leave is being requested / approved
- Using the mobile apps, leave requests can be approved on the go so even when staff are outside of the office they can have approvals for time off done quickly
- Break down your staff into individual teams and have a set manager to approve
- Add custom leave types
- Tie into your calendar on phone

I haven't found any - the software does everything that it says it does, and it does it well. I would love for this company to expand more into scheduling type applications for scheduling on-site visits for us to clients etc. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I really like how easy it is to set up a new member of staff and to get a birds eye view of what is going on for both absences and holiday time.

It’s a very straight forward system for staff to manage themselves and I like that their holiday requests come straight through to me - I can approve on the go when it comes to my inbox. No more issues with me losing holiday forms submitted by paper!

I do consider these cons, I just think Timetastic could improve with the following:

It can be difficult or awkward to work out a pro-rata members of staff’s holiday so having the option to use a holiday calculator would really help.

Being able to speak to someone over the phone rather than by email would also be really beneficial.

The fact that all users can see who clashes with their request for time off. Most Holiday planning happens in the family home and users can see, via the Timetastic App, potential clashes without waiting to go to work to look on a conventional Holiday planner.

The manager has to simply approve or disapprove as appropriate. Job done.

Also good value for money.

It integrates quite well with Outlook as an additional calendar however it would be useful if it integrated in to our CRM as it would save having too run two separate diaries.

Could also do with two managers being emailed about all holiday requests rather than just one admin.

Ease of use, clean and friendly interface, powerful underlying features.

Could use a few more integrations with popular software

So easy to use, I am the administrator and it is so simple and not time consuming to manage users, departments and individual queries from users. It is also wonderful to sign people up to a service and know that you literally don't have to give any guidance because the service is so intuitive.
I have also emailed them several times over the past three years with requests for features - many of which they have done!

Nothing - probably that I wish they did a similar version where you could use internally only to monitor sickness/absence - we are still using spreadsheets and having Timetastic manage it would be ideal!

I have been using timetastic for approx. 3 years and it is very easy to use. It is quick to set up and gives you enough flexibility for different teams and approvers.

I have never had any trouble with Timetastic - it works brilliantly for the size of team we have.

Timetastic fixes a simple problem that can be hard to fix and when it comes to peoples holidays you can't get it wrong!

The software is easy to use and understand for owner managers and staff.

The pricing point is great and it is refreshing not to be ripped of, it scales perfectly on number of staff meaning small businesses can use it too without breaking the bank.

The bank holiday allowance on part time staff working out the days they have on .govs website then working out how that falls on the holiday year. Not really a Timetastic issue, although plunging in to work out holiday allowances would be a need add on. That said I to like the simplicity of it as it is.

Another feature that might be cool is a place to record sick days and adds it up for you too. (this would be coo

Timetastic is easy to use, and the pricing is clear and transparent.

Some features of larger holiday software is missing, and it can be confusing when calculating holiday with regards to bank holidays (e.g. if an employee is entitled to 28 days p/a, the system assumes you need to enter 20 days and it'll auto-assign the other 8 to bank holidays). This makes it difficult to calculate actual taken days holiday as if an employee starts during the leave year then you need to manually count all of the bank holidays that they have/haven't worked as these aren't shown in Timetastic's calculations.

That it is simple as hell, and give me great overview over the company situation.

- Not possible to create "half-day"-Public-Holidays (Christmas, Silvester)
- Better possibility to handle students, who only work 2days a week.
- When you enter a public-holiday, after someone already booked days-off, they have to delete it and reinsert it again, to don't loose a day off

Timetastic is the perfect solution for us - it is customisable to the level we require, caters for our market (South Africa) and is priced right for an organisation of our size.

It would be great to have all the "admin" functionality on the mobile app - currently as an administrator there are some functions I can only perform via desktop

- G Suite Integration
- Slack Integration
- working out of pro-rated holiday allowance
- keeping track of lieu days
- multiple Bank Holiday tracking ( For different Countries)
Lots more.

Only thing I wish it had was notification of work anniversaries.

The ease of use, setting up quickly and the ability to approve leave on the move.

You cannot fast forward to a date in the future, you have to scroll through each month. Also it would be nice to be able to edit a calendar entry rather than cancel it and re input. An example is adding the reason for the leave.

The software is really user friendly and staff appreciate the phone app and the ease of requesting their holiday outside of work.

The only downside I can think of is the software does not unable you to make changes to working patterns throughout the leave year.

I like how simple it is to use, what good value for money it is, and the fact that it was created in my hometown is always a little bonus!

The fact that it's not 100% perfect at synchronising with Outlook calendars is a little bit of a bug bear, and you can't change the half day hours (it automatically finishes people at 12pm when our lunch starts at 1pm). But this is a minor gripe.

It's really easy to use, contains all the info you need and is great value for money.

The way leave is applied for and approved is really easy. The dashboard means you can quickly and easily check for clashes with staff that can't be off at the same time.

It's so much better than how we managed leave before. I wish we'd started using it earlier.

The only feature I would like is to see the average sickness as a percentage of days worked. This is useful when working out day rates etc. This is more a feature request rather than something I don't like.

We had an antiquated paper request and wall calendar system before Timetastic so anything would have been better. However, Timetastic exceeded our expectations both in design and ease of use. The simplistic approach makes it really user friendly for staff to book leave and have constant visibility of remaining leave for the year.

There are no cons so far! We have found it to be exactly what we needed and should have implemented it years ago.

Easy to use
Replaced our paper based solution
Integrates with Slack so we can update the team on who is on leave automatically
Flexibility to schedule leave, appointment etc.. for different time slots
Has an App

App is very good but doesn't have the full features of the web version

Its easy to use and easy to explain to my employees how to use it.

I am often asked or reports or to print information off which isn't easy. This feature should be looked at as this is the only system that I log holidays on and report is essential.

It is easy to book the holidays, sick days... even with the app.

For example, you can add some documents like the sick note of the employee.

It's easy, it's SAAS, I can upgrade downgrade immediate, it's connected to our gmails so it's smooth

it just needs to start having more functionality- HR functionalities, reminders on birthdays

Efficiency. Easy to track leave days. Eliminates paperwork.

I would wish that the icon that shows the number of leave days per year showed the number of remaining days to be taken.

Easy to use and set up - easy access by employees

Some issues with who can see holidays which can cause conflict with departments - should be restricted so that users can only see departments in which they are in.
Reporting could be more user friendly and give more detail to allow us to easier complete some reports required for our company

It takes all the hassle out of holiday planning. It’s so easy to use and run.
Easy to make it functional for your unique business.
Staff all love it.
No clashes

I really can’t think of anything negative that’s worth mentioning.

Simplicity and user friendliness is the key factors. Available on all devices!

There was nothing really what I could dislike.

Really simple and intuitive to use. Love the way it calculates the amount of leave based on start date, very useful. Also makes it really easy for people to check other people's booked leave before they make a request which cuts down on back and forth on approving time off.

Would be good if it had more integrations, for example I'd like to send information to the Forecast feature in HarvestApp. It would be really helpful if the tool was enhanced to include other time-related activities like recording flexi-time.
