Simplified Employee Scheduling Program

What do you like best? HotSchedules is a user friendly scheduling program that makes it easy for a manager to receive requests, availability changes, create schedules for a variety of job codes, and print day to day copies as well as weekly copies for viewing. What do you dislike? I don’t care so much for the messaging aspect. I find it’s not necessary and very few employees actually use the function. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...
