I love how this system allows a group of employees to view their daily, weekly and event monthly schedules. So many view systems that a manager can select to view coverage at all time, the heaviest/least flow of workers and the request of time off requested by employees. A great source to view each employees personal information such as phone number, email and Birth day. It has the option to swap or trade shifts. Shift for special events are created where employees can opt to join. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WhenToWork by TCP?

Project Lead Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/20/2018 "WhenToWork Review" 4.5/5 What do you like best about WhenToWork by TCP? I have used WhenToWork with several companies and it has always proven to be reliable and overall user friendly. The ability to color code the schedules makes the layout visually appealing and allows employees to more easily identify their names and assigned shifts on the schedule. It is fairly easy to put in time off requests as well. Creating a schedule is fairly self explanatory. I really like how WhenToWork will send you an email directly when any changes have been made in the schedule or when a new schedule is published. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WhenToWork by TCP? When first opening WhenToWork, it is sort of difficult to figure out where to go to view the actual schedule as there are many "views" that you can select such as "employee view" by month, week, etc. When creating a schedule, I wish there was a way to replicate one week for the entire month instead of having to create the schedule week by week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering WhenToWork by TCP: This is a great platform for creating and managing schedules for smaller companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WhenToWork by TCP solving and how is that benefiting you?
