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.

I loved being able to access my schedule from anywhere through mobile access. Being able to check my work schedule while on the go makes my life much more convenient. Plus, easily rescheduling or adjusting shifts with others makes this product top-notch.

Cons

I did not dislike anything about Fourth Payroll, but there was one feature I did not use: the time clock. This was simply because my company used a different method for clocking in.

Pros

From a management perspective, Fourth Payroll is very good. It is easy to use and navigate.

Cons

My main issue with Fourth Payroll is that it requires staff to pay to purchase the app on their individual phones. It gives the impression that the company is being cheap.

Pros

The PC design and Cellular App work well together, with real-time updates and changes reflecting instantly across both platforms. Navigating Fourth Payroll is easy, thanks to its user-friendly layout and page designs. Although it's already quite effective, I am sure they will keep refining even the smallest details. While reviewing real-time updated scheduling information is central to this program, the ability to send and receive messages about important changes, requests and responses between colleagues is fantastic.

Cons

In my personal and professional experience with Fourth Payroll, I have few negative things to report. While working at a ski resort in the mountains, the only drawbacks were related to our unreliable internet connection, not the software itself. Occasionally, the internet would be overloaded by guests, causing delays in system updates. This issue was more about the internet connection than the Fourth Payroll program.
