Sling has been our best option for communication and scheduling. We looked into OnShift and other scheduling systems that aren't free. Sling has been our best option. Our schedule is a beast and Sling has made my job much easier and for our on-call staff as well. You can change the color of positions (which we love) and we love to use green for bonus money shifts!

I find WhenToWork to be very well suited for a company such as ours with multiple locations and 24-hour operation.
With as many as 50 schedules to keep track of, it does an excellent job. The ability to combine individual schedules into a view as an entire department with varying schedules is also a plus.

Cons
  • Bring back the forever repeating shifts, they currently only repeat for 1 year so I have to go through every shift once a year & reset them.
  • Our staff liked when they had birthday notifications for staff.
  • Wish there was a way for admins to be managers of managers. What I mean by that is when management requests time off I do not get a notification so they have to let me know separately.

  • It would be a nice feature if WhenToWork could allow the user to build schedules from the Calendar View.
  • Would love to see WhenToWork integrate with payroll programs, such as ADP, Paycom, Paychex, etc., so employees' schedules and hours worked would be synchronized.

WhenToWork is much more cost-effective for our team size than other comparable workforce management solutions. It offers many of the same features, like role-based permissions, and mobile access, as the other much more expensive options. We are able to meet our needs across multiple unique contact center teams, with many different levels of access, and still have a cost-effective solution we have used for many years.
