Pros & Cons

NOVAtime Pros & Cons
Pros
  • The ability to know the amount of time available, the number of sick people, and the remaining comp time as the software monitors my utilization of time.
Cons
  • It is time consuming as running any report on the go is impossible-you must generate every report
  • It is also time consuming and redundant since I have to key in all staff details into the payroll system and thereafter into Novatime due to the absence of a link-unless we carry out a file download at the end of a payroll period, this time card system doesn’t connect to our payroll system.
TimeOut Pros & Cons
Pros
  • It has excellent functionality
  • After sending your request, it is possible to add messages or comments
  • It monitors days off, stat vacations, etc
  • well
  • All stat vacations and days reserved off in the calendar are highlighted by the system
  • Requests are sent to the overseers for approval via the system.
Cons
  • When staff PTO requests would be put in red, the system didn’t flag
  • It was tedious to perform some tasks.

The experience was generally positive. However, I dislike that I have to manually change it to PM as the time box automatically assumes the time is AM so you have during entering a time off request. Also, after entering time without saving and my requests that I entered being erased, I dislike having to change pages.

The ability to know the amount of time available, the number of sick people, and the remaining comp time as the software monitors my utilization of time.

Switching pages and forgetting to save what you keyed in when entering time off requests makes it disappear prompting you to restart the process again.

During our busy session, it is more time saving to have a single system that can host time card punches, payroll and HRIS.

Extremely supportive tech support at all times-responsive and working with them is simple. It is also fairly cheap.

It is time consuming as running any report on the go is impossible-you must generate every report. It is also time consuming and redundant since I have to key in all staff details into the payroll system and thereafter into Novatime due to the absence of a link-unless we carry out a file download at the end of a payroll period, this time card system doesn’t connect to our payroll system.

Monitoring my holiday days and stat vacations on a simulated calendar is possible. Sending requests for days off to my manager for approval or disapproval is possible. It enhances great organization. Monitoring my remaining days in the year and the accumulated days to now is possible.

It has excellent functionality. After sending your request, it is possible to add messages or comments. It monitors days off, stat vacations, etc. well. All stat vacations and days reserved off in the calendar are highlighted by the system. Requests are sent to the overseers for approval via the system.

It has an old-fashioned appearance.

The first software to be used by our organization to monitor PTO past email and excel was TimeOut. Regarding organization visibility, auditing records, and dependability, it was extremely useful.

It is very adaptable, it has a mobile app, all staff have access to it, and its collaboration with Outlook is great.

When staff PTO requests would be put in red, the system didn’t flag. It was tedious to perform some tasks
