Fourth Payroll Reviews

Pros

I love being able to see my work schedule, request time off, message coworkers and managers and switch shifts with others. The layout is also very simple and easy to navigate on both the website and app.

Cons

My only complaint is that the app has a paywall. I wish it did not.

Pros

Fourth Payroll is very simple and easy to use. The scheduling feature is probably my favorite part. The layout is visually appealing and easy to understand. The app is also convenient for use on the go.

Cons

Inputting data can be time-consuming and updates can be a bit annoying. I am really nitpicking here, though, as the platform is mostly positive for me.

Pros

The software includes all the necessary features for restaurant scheduling. I can administrator working each shift and get notified when the schedule is posted. It also makes requesting time off simple without needing to talk to someone directly.

Cons

I have not had any problems with this software so far.

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

I used this software when I worked as a server at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen and it made managing my schedule and handling shift trades, drops or pickups much easier. It was really simple to use and understand.

Cons

Occasionally, there is a delay on the app that made me late to drop or pick up shifts but this only happened sometimes.

Pros

A lot of useful templates for recording personnel records, along with powerful automation features like sick pay and holiday calculations and employee checklists. The payroll integration was excellent as well.

Cons

Unfortunately, we found the software to be very slow and glitchy, often requiring us to refresh the webpage or having trouble loading properly.

Pros

Fourth Payroll made checking the work schedule simple and easy to understand.

Cons

The process of collaborating between workers is quite complicated.

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.

Pros

Fourth Pay simplifies the whole scheduling process with transparency and I don't have to call or text my managers for anything. Switching shifts with coworkers is easy.

Cons

There is not much to dislike. The security measures can be a bit too much at times, but I did prefer it over the alternative.

Pros

Fourth Payroll was our preferred scheduling software for years across multiple restaurants, even as new options emerged. It was easy for both managers and staff to use.

Cons

Fourth Payrolls customer service was not quick to address issues and the price kept increasing even though fixes were not being implemented.

Pros

This software is extremely user-friendly. Everything is easy to find and straightforward to use.

Cons

There are no features I dislike about this software.

Pros

The best feature of this product is its ease of use. Its simple for both managers and employees. The step by step instructions for creating and using the account are very helpful.

Cons

The worst aspect of this product is its customer service. It can be very difficult to get in touch with someone and it takes days, if not weeks for service tickets to be addressed.

Pros

Fourth Payroll is user-friendly and keeps my schedule easily accessible. Balancing two jobs is tough and this software helps me keep my availability updated and make necessary changes. Being able to pick up shifts without making phone calls is fantastic. I highly recommend it for any company that needs to schedule many employees.

Cons

I think there are some visual issues like how things appear on the mobile app, that could use an update.

Pros

In my experience, Fourth Payroll was very easy to navigate and it explains its use through guides.

Cons

I did not dislike anything about Fourth Payroll.

Pros

Fourth Payroll was much easier for us to use as compared to other software. It's much more user-friendly and the staff absolutely loves it. Swapping shifts, requesting time off and tracking shifts are all streamlined.

Cons

I LOVE Fourth Payroll. It's my preferred software for restaurant scheduling with no drawbacks.

Pros

The user interface looks decent and is easy to navigate. Changing shifts and managing schedules is simple, and the platform allows bosses, managers, employees and coworkers to communicate with each other.

Cons

I have not found much to dislike about Fourth Payroll except that the user interface looks outdated.

Pros

The software is user-friendly and easy to navigate. It was simple to pick up, drop and trade shifts. Checking the schedule is also pretty simple and finding staff contact information is also easy.

Cons

It would be more helpful if the software could be used for a variety of job ads as well.

Pros

Accessing my schedule, trading shifts and tracking hours is a hassle free task now. Loving Fourth Pay!

Cons

The software is sometimes glitchy and lags and the messaging system could use improvement.

Pros

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

There is a lack of consistency between the different versions of the app, aside from the underwhelming user interface. The constant log-outs are annoying, even though they are a security measure. Most importantly, employees have to pay to access their schedule in a usable way.

Pros

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.
