Timetastic Erfahrungen

Timetastic has a simple, easy to use interface. This enabled us to delete some boring and complicated spreadsheets that were hard to maintain. Horray!

New starters require no induction, and admins can quickly get on with this often tedious process. I rate the Slack integration since many of our team are remote - it enables us to effortlessly manage and track who's on leave.

I think Timetastic is great value and have recommended to other small business owners I know.

It's a pity you can't edit leave once it's approved, so admins get multiple emails from users - 'so and so cancelled their holiday', 'so and so requested a new holiday'. This could be merged into one notification, or you could permit admins to edit leave directly rather than deleting/adding.

- It's not clear that users can book leave that spans non-working days without deducting from their allowance, so some people send multiple requests - booking Friday and Monday separately. This could also be solved by an email digest.

As HR & Talent Manager for the company, it can be quiet overwhelming trying to figure what is the best platform for all stakeholders involved. Luckily, Timetastic has been our trusty sidekick when it comes to the holidays and leave. It's easy to use, a good user experience, and doesn't break the bank. Overall, I've been very happy with the service!

One of our perks is an extra holiday day for every year employed with the business. It can get a bit confusing to implement this automatically with Timetastic. It's almost easier just to enter everyone's extra day manually. Not a huge effort, but that's one thing that has been somewhat challenging.

The fact that all users can see who clashes with their request for time off. Most Holiday planning happens in the family home and users can see, via the Timetastic App, potential clashes without waiting to go to work to look on a conventional Holiday planner.

The manager has to simply approve or disapprove as appropriate. Job done.

Also good value for money.

It integrates quite well with Outlook as an additional calendar however it would be useful if it integrated in to our CRM as it would save having too run two separate diaries.

Could also do with two managers being emailed about all holiday requests rather than just one admin.

My company never had any software in place before coming across Timetasic and it has been a sensation. It is so easy and simple to use to allocate the number of annual leave days to each staff member and split them up into teams and mark my team as favourites.

I also love the ability to automatically post from TimeTastic to my general slack channel so the team will know that day who will be taking leave or at an external meeting each morning. This is cuts down on the questions relating to availability and potentially scheduling meetings with staff on leave.

If I view my approved leave notification within the web app the mobile app does not remove the notification. As I am a bit of an OCD freak with notification I have to open the mobile app and view the notification to remove it from my phone.

Quick and easy to add new employees and monitor time off in each department.

Not applicable, system is easy to use. No issues.

Ease of tracking. Allows me to see periods of sickness and who is off innthe team if another Annual Leave request is received

The fact you can't state if a lunch needs to be taken into account. If someone works 11am til 7pm, they will have an hours lunch, and therefore their AL request would be 7 hours, not 8. I therefore have to keep manual records, which defeats the objective of Timetastic

Users can choose Timetastic and prevent the hassles of managing old fashion spreadsheets.

The user interface is plain. Timetastic should add more features.

We intuitive and visual for users. Used it somewhere else. Implemented it in new role. Simple set up. Ony really manages leave - but does it well.

Can change language - for example changing Departments to Teams (we're not the Civil Service!). Or Boss to Manager. Our leave was diffucult to set up as we combine shorter weeks, statutory holidays and annual leave all within one allowance. This was hard to clearly replicate in this system.

It's really simple to use both from a management point of view, and for individuals arranging holidays and logging sickness etc.

Most importantly, it feels really lightweight and fast for everything and there isn't any unnecessary bloat getting in the way of just getting the job done.

If I was picky, the reporting could be slightly more extensive but I'm really clutching at straws to fill out this required input box.

Ease of use
Able to see very clearly, per department (or for the entire team / company) who is where (sick, holiday, working from home etc)
Ease of setup and sharing
Their support is awesome

Granularity of split; if you are a company with many sub-companies, you cannot organise on a top level down. That..is my only complaint. I genuinely love using TimeTastic.

It's so affordable - it pays for itself in the time you save!

Staff love it - they get clear visibility of how much holiday remaining and can easily book time off

Slack - if you use Slack you can get it to post everyone's availability in the morning

We use it for holiday, work from home, sickness, mat/pat leave and more!

None - it really is so easy to use and fantastic value for money.

Our company uses Timetastic for a very simple task: scheduling and administrating staff leaves. It's an easy to use tool that gives a good overview. We integrated it with Slack so we receive a daily update at 9am which colleagues won't be in the office that day.

There's one important feature that I miss: I always log in via Google and on mobile that functionality doesn't exist, so it doesn't allow me to log in.

Timetastic relieved my holiday schedule headache without any need for learning or tutorials or anything. So simple and my staff find it easy to book time off too. It's a diplomatic way of allowing first-come-first-served holiday allowance, avoiding potential fighting over the office calander next time The Venga Boys are in town.

Only niggle we have is that you can't send requests to multiple email addresses. So minor though.

I think it would be cool if the developers could expand the format to Gantt charts and other time-based business organisation.

Cost model makes it so cheap, a proper "no-brainer"! It is so easy to set up and use there is no training required

Could have some more features - like automatically adding 1 day to people's allowance when they've hit a year's employment service
