Homebase vs. ShiftForce

Homebase is well suited for small business owners and startups who need to track employee hours more efficiently, and who desire for their employees to be able to directly compliment each other, or have more control over the ability to trade shifts. It is less appropriate for larger businesses that have multiple departments, or businesses with few departments and employees who may be scheduled in more than one department.

• Homebase provides an easy way to schedule employees. Their scheduling platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to edit once the schedule is made.
• Homebase makes it easy for employees to switch schedules on their own, a manager just simply has to approve rather than physically rescheduling both employees, this is great for any small retail business or restaurant with many hourly employees.
• Homebase makes it easy to adjust hours that have been incorrectly clocked or clockouts that have been missed.

Incentivized

• Notifications could be more punctual
• Employees should be able to pick up shifts outside of their scheduled times! Right now managers need to do it.
• Importing hours on QBO payroll could use attention. Doesn't separate normal hours from overtime.

Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

Incentivized

• There are no longer employee scheduling issues.
• Payroll is very easy to use and quick
