Chose Sling
We had a few meetings with OnShift marketing to go over features and everything but our management team is very satisfied with the free version on Sling. Sling has been the easiest and best for payroll. OnShift was very spendy for our budget and didn't have messaging built in. …

Sling has been our best option for communication and scheduling. We looked into OnShift and other scheduling systems that aren't free. Sling has been our best option. Our schedule is a beast and Sling has made my job much easier and for our on-call staff as well. You can change the color of positions (which we love) and we love to use green for bonus money shifts!

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Bring back the forever repeating shifts, they currently only repeat for 1 year so I have to go through every shift once a year & reset them.
  • Our staff liked when they had birthday notifications for staff.
  • Wish there was a way for admins to be managers of managers. What I mean by that is when management requests time off I do not get a notification so they have to let me know separately.
