Makes schedule easier and organize
Makes schedule easier and organize
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.

Very user friendly
Very user friendly
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.

Pros
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.

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

Fourth Payroll, Cool Features
Fourth Payroll, Cool Features
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.

Pros
Fourth Payroll is the best system used, and it is very easy to use and navigate. Switching shifts or requesting time off is simple and I can send messages directly to management from the app, which is very helpful.
Cons
While the messaging feature is extremely helpful, it sometimes fails to send notifications when a message is received. However, you can still find alternate contact information within the app to reach someone outside of it if needed.

Pros
RELIABILITY is promised with Fourth Pay. It never crashes, and support is always helpful. The scheduler features are the best out there. Templates for quick entries are excellent for weekly use and color coding makes my life so much easier. Everything is transparent, with every action documented.
Cons
The software takes some getting used to and learning because its quite complex. Once you master the hotkeys, it becomes easier. Make sure you have a powerful computer; it requires a lot of real-time processing.

Pros
Having worked in restaurants in the late '90s and 2000s, this app feels like a dream come true. It is amazing to be able to view my schedule, swap shifts and send messages to staff all in one place.
Cons
I dislike not being able to request time off past a certain point (less than three weeks before the shift, I think). But this is probably more of a restaurant policy issue than an app problem.

The updates are active and responsive, keeping me informed of any changes or modifications to my schedule. Overall, its a problem-free experience with very few bugs or glitches.
Cons

Fourth Payroll is the best. I just log into the app and see what I need. This simplicity is all I require. Unlike many apps that make you jump through hoops to view your schedule or request time off, Fourth Payroll does not. If you're a manager handling scheduling for any size business, I highly recommend Fourth Payroll. You won't be disappointed.
Cons
Since I started using the app, my only complaint has been getting signed out randomly. I think this might be due to using an iPhone, but I am not sure if Android or other devices have the same issue.

Fourth Payroll is so easy to use
Fourth Payroll is so easy to use
Pros
Fourth Payroll revolutionized the restaurant industry when it launched. With over 10 years in the industry, I saw firsthand how it changed things. Before, we had to wait for a photo of our schedules, which sometimes led to missed shifts or difficulties in covering shifts. With Fourth Payroll, you always know when your shift is, and you get reminders. If you need to cover a shift, you simply post it. Its a secure way to ensure everyone is accountable for their work.
Cons
The only issue I had when I first started using Fourth Payroll was figuring out how to update my availability. Once someone showed me, it became simple for me to understand.

The Software That Changed Scheduling
The Software That Changed Scheduling
Pros
This software was a game changer the moment I started using it in the restaurant industry. Previously, I often found myself in situations where I relied on a coworkers verbal promise to switch shifts, only to end up responsible when they did not show up. Enter Fourth Payroll a tool designed to prevent such issues. It not only lets me manage my schedule even in emergencies but also ensures that any shift changes are communicated up to the highest management. It is an intuitive, life-changing software that I wish every company would adopt.
Cons
I am honestly struggling to think of any negatives from my experience with Fourth Payroll. It never let me down. It allowed people to pick up shifts voluntarily, reducing the need to single out a coworker and putting the opportunity up for any team member to take.

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.

Fourth Payroll Review
Fourth Payroll Review
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.

Fourth Payroll, Cool Features
Fourth Payroll, Cool Features
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.

The mobile app costs $2.99 to download. Its not a huge deal, but I do not like having to pay for the app when my employer is already covering the system costs.

Fourth Payroll is the best system used, and it is very easy to use and navigate. Switching shifts or requesting time off is simple and I can send messages directly to management from the app, which is very helpful.
Cons
While the messaging feature is extremely helpful, it sometimes fails to send notifications when a message is received. However, you can still find alternate contact information within the app to reach someone outside of it if needed.

Pros
RELIABILITY is promised with Fourth Pay. It never crashes, and support is always helpful. The scheduler features are the best out there. Templates for quick entries are excellent for weekly use and color coding makes my life so much easier. Everything is transparent, with every action documented.
Cons
The software takes some getting used to and learning because its quite complex. Once you master the hotkeys, it becomes easier. Make sure you have a powerful computer; it requires a lot of real-time processing.

Pros
Having worked in restaurants in the late '90s and 2000s, this app feels like a dream come true. It is amazing to be able to view my schedule, swap shifts and send messages to staff all in one place.
Cons
I dislike not being able to request time off past a certain point (less than three weeks before the shift, I think). But this is probably more of a restaurant policy issue than an app problem.

The updates are active and responsive, keeping me informed of any changes or modifications to my schedule. Overall, its a problem-free experience with very few bugs or glitches.

Unlike many apps that make you jump through hoops to view your schedule or request time off, Fourth Payroll does not. If you're a manager handling scheduling for any size business, I highly recommend Fourth Payroll. You won't be disappointed.
Cons
Since I started using the app, my only complaint has been getting signed out randomly. I think this might be due to using an iPhone, but I am not sure if Android or other devices have the same issue.

Fourth Payroll is so easy to use
Fourth Payroll is so easy to use
Pros
Fourth Payroll revolutionized the restaurant industry when it launched. With over 10 years in the industry, I saw firsthand how it changed things. Before, we had to wait for a photo of our schedules, which sometimes led to missed shifts or difficulties in covering shifts. With Fourth Payroll, you always know when your shift is, and you get reminders. If you need to cover a shift, you simply post it. Its a secure way to ensure everyone is accountable for their work.
Cons
The only issue I had when I first started using Fourth Payroll was figuring out how to update my availability. Once someone showed me, it became simple for me to understand.

The Software That Changed Scheduling
The Software That Changed Scheduling
Pros
This software was a game changer the moment I started using it in the restaurant industry. Previously, I often found myself in situations where I relied on a coworkers verbal promise to switch shifts, only to end up responsible when they did not show up. Enter Fourth Payroll a tool designed to prevent such issues. It not only lets me manage my schedule even in emergencies but also ensures that any shift changes are communicated up to the highest management. It is an intuitive, life-changing software that I wish every company would adopt.
Cons
I am honestly struggling to think of any negatives from my experience with Fourth Payroll. It never let me down. It allowed people to pick up shifts voluntarily, reducing the need to single out a coworker and putting the opportunity up for any team member to take.
