    Another company I work for utilizes workday and I really dislike it. It is difficult to use and navigate around, sends a multitude of emails that get overwhelming, and the app is not simple or user friendly at all.

    I've used Truework to generate my information regarding my employment letter. This helped me with applying for state programs that required to know about my work history and income. In previous jobs, I've used Workday, and it was a useful site, but a bit more complex than using …

    Workday assumes employees are going to take advantage of time tracking, which is diabolical and a complete waste of time when you have to create unnecessary touch points with management to edit time submissions.

    Humans are prone to error, having to message my boss because I …

    UKG is just annoying and hard to navigate. Paylocity is more similar to Gusto but just not quite as user friendly - thought Paylocity DOES do Payroll processing a bit earlier. Workday is the most frustrating site in the world.

    While Gusto and Paylocity do have their …

    I selected Gusto because it was an easier software HR program to utilize. My boss also implemented using this since the start of her business in 2019. They offer more features unlike Workday and it is much easier to navigate. WorkDay was harder to navigate certain things such …

    Gusto is similar to all these apps however with these apps you need to download 3 different apps but Gusto has everything. Apps like Workday takes up to a day to show your paystub and even still may not show it in detail. The user interfaces on the other apps is also much …

    Gusto has by far the most intuitive UI I have ever used when it comes to time tracking for an organization. It's just one less thing for me to worry about at work, which is always a win. Whether I forget to clock in, I need to request random hours off on random days, Gusto is …

    Workday Payroll and Workforce Management in my opinion does as great job of letting staff know beforehand what they are going to get paid on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I found that Gusto does not provide that insight. It would be nice though to have a feature in those …
