Pros

I find it much easier to share my schedule, get real-time updates on my employees availability, plan days off and approve or deny swaps and shift releases. This tool significantly simplifies my work.

Cons

It takes some time to set up a new user and sometimes my employees face issues where their accounts appear blocked (though they can access it using an incognito browser). Additionally, the system often prompts them to change their passwords daily after logging in.

Pros

I do not remember the scheduling system my previous employer used, but Fourth is vastly superior. I can easily view my schedule, even though I alternate between two shift patterns. My favorite feature of Fourth, as an employee is how simple it is to request time off and check my holiday allowance and usage. I would not want to use any other scheduling system now.

Cons

If I book holiday time for the upcoming allowance year (e.g., April 2024 when it is currently March 2024), I cannot see my remaining holiday balance until the new year starts. However, I can still work it out by checking the dates I have booked or requested off, so its manageable.
