HR worthy app
We use Homebase for our employees. It has an onboarding feature that handles ssn and direct deposit info, which is helpful at the end of the year as well. You can schedule your employees so that they can see their schedules right away. There is a quick pay feature. The chat rooms came in handy for daily medical notes for our staff and we could reference things that happened for each client as far back as we needed to go. Homebase really help streamline alot of HR tasks. I would recommend it.
Pros
I really liked the scheduling feature and the onboardinh payroll features. Also the chat was great.
Cons
Having to sign into a desk top for some management features.

This is a great place for scheduling and team communication.
This is a fantastic website/app. I use this mainly for scheduling and staff communications. It is easily navigational for my staff and very user friendly for my use too. This has been as asset to my work place. Staff can request days or time off with ease. This is also fantastic to help with payroll budget tracking. You can also keep track of staff information like emergency contact etc. which is a necessity to have on hand. There is a timeclock built into this app which I don't use, however, from what I explored of that portion of the app it is very helpful too. One of my favourite features is the hiring aspect of this app. You click on the hiring tab and you can post one job listing that will translate to all hiring sites I know of (Indeed, google etc). This is perfect to get all the resumes in one place and it tracks things like if they have their foodsafe certificate, or any other requirements. Long story short - 100% would recommend. Try the FREE version and see what it can do for your business.
Pros
I love the scheduling part as it is super easy to navigate. This is super beneficial for adding time off, appointments or remembering holidays.
Cons
I don't like how you have to pay for premium features, but I understand that is how Homebase makes money just like any other site. AKA thus far I have no complaints. This is a great app and its easy for my staff to use.

TimeStationReasons for Switching to Homebase
I use this app for my clock in - clock out's for my staff due to the easiness and because my ipad I use for this is too old for the homebase app to work on it.- Industry: Events Services

I regret purchasing Homebase
We are on the essentials plan. We have 45 employees. some of those employees are able to do more than 1 job. some of those jobs are a higher paying position (like bartender vs busboy)
When you hire a bartender at $15 per hour, if that bartender picks up a job as a busboy at $10 per hour - the software won't allow you have that bartender get paid at $10 unless you upgrade to their "plus" plan.
What was not explained was why this just became an issue in december 2023 and was not an issue when we onboarded all employees in september.
for that reason - i will not be renewing and will be sourcing a new sofrware. if i'm going to pay a higher cost, it wont be for the lack of customer service i've recieved to date.
i'll gladly update this review if the team can fix my issue but based on the customer service response i've seen so far...i dont see that happening without me making some noise.
Pros
The price was better than our old provider, wheniwork but maybe it turns out that you get what you pay for?
Cons
Customer service is very limited in what they are willing to say or do and you dont have a rep or salesperson other than when they first try to take your money and get you to sign up. I've sent messages for support or attempted to call or email my old rep that signed me up that went unanswered. When they have been answered - its been covered in technical jargon instead of a simple "yes you can do that by doing this or no, thats not available on your plan.

Great App and don't plan on changing.
I find the app easy to use for administrative and the employees find it easy to use for employment information.
Pros
The schedule building part. So easy to make a schedule for over 30 people! The copy from a past week is a great time saver.
We also use the timeclock. Very easy to correct those who forget to clock in or out. Also can tell by the dashboard who hasn't clocked in or isn't here.
Cons
Can't think of anything. We have had it for quite awhile now.

A wonderful experience with Homebase
It makes my job so easy when it comes to keeping up with employees & tracking their hours. I want to see what the payroll piece will do. While I have a CPA doing my book keeping and doing payroll which cost me 600 monthly for two location. I want to really need to save money.
Pros
I love the way I can manage my employees schedule using Homebase, make schedules, and update pricing. The Clover is the best POS system since sliced bread.
Cons
I want to use HR, but it's too high for me at this time. I need to get a employee hand book completed and I have yet to do it and I've been using Homebase to almost 9 years.
