Attendance Calendar Smart App

Pros

I like the size of these calender's and the dry erase ability. These calenders are great for all our guys out on the projects.

Cons

The least thing I like is the cost of the calenders. They can be pretty expensive!! Especially when we are purchasing 10-12.

Pros

It eliminates the need for the cards and is set up exactly like the cards.So it was familiar to start. Easy to add and remove days off and add notes if needed on each date.

Cons

It would be helpful if there were a calendar that shows a full month with all people scheduled off that updates as you add each individual day off.

It takes a long time to load and switch from employee to employee.

It would also be helpful if you could block out say a week at a time instead of having to enter each day separately when someone is scheduling vacation time.

Pros

We have been using the paper attendance calendars from HR Direct for a few years now. I received an ad for the online app version and thought I would give it a try since the price for the paper calendars is pretty much the same. It's easy to enter the employee information and enter the time off information. Each employee calendar can be downloaded and/or printed for the employee. It saves paper and makes updating and reviewing attendance with employees a little more convenient. It is also much faster to pull up a calendar on the screen than having to go through a binder with lots of other calendars in it.

Cons

There are only two categories for time off, vacation and sick time or PTO. We have vacation, sick and personal time. You also have to make the deductions of days off yourself. It doesn't deduct them automatically as you enter the time that's taken by the employee. So, you have to be mindful that you are deducting as you go along. There is a component to this app that is supposed to be launched later for employees to send you their time off requests. when they can just send me an email. I would use it if it came with the calendar app, but for another fee, it's a little too much, especially for a smaller office.

Pros

I like that it is portable and I can access it from anywhere.

Cons

That it will not invoice you, but rather requires a credit card on file in order to continue the service.

Pros

The neatness of the software makes it easy to present to superiors. The attendance sheet is also a great addition to the mix.

Cons

Its a little slow, but I'm almost sure its not the software.
