Workforce

Workforce.com

Workforce.com is workforce management software for hourly and shift-based teams. It brings together employee scheduling, time and attendance, labour forecasting, team communication and optional HR and payroll functions. Packages can be bought separately or combined, so the precise scope must be checked.

Independent perspective

Our review

Workforce.com can bring scheduling, attendance, employee records and UK payroll into one employee-based process. Labour costs are visible while the rota is built, rather than only after month end. The recorded assessment also identifies employment checks and alerts within scheduling. We see its strongest value where several departments currently pass information between separate rota, HR and payroll tools.

Our main reservation is the complete package and the connection to hotel demand. Several of the useful functions are additional modules, so the base licence does not describe the whole cost. A ready-made PMS feed was not established in our review, meaning occupancy-led scheduling may require a custom connection. Contract, exit and UK hosting details also need settling before employee and payroll records are moved.

We would test a complete pay period and the actual employment controls required by the business. Confirm which modules are included, who maintains a demand feed and what data can be exported. Allow proper setup time while judging daily scheduling separately.

Our verdict

We recommend considering Workforce.com for hotels and groups wanting to consolidate shift-team administration and payroll. It is less suited to a property retaining a payroll arrangement it will not change or expecting the rota to follow PMS demand immediately. The benefit depends on adopting the connected employee process.

The assessment

What stands out

Strengths

Links staffing to demand. Managers can use historic sales and workload information to plan shifts and monitor labour costs.

Joins scheduling and attendance. Published rotas, clock-ins, breaks, leave and timesheets sit in one workflow.

Supports larger hourly workforces. The product is aimed at organisations with complex rules, multiple locations and regular staffing changes.

Strong general user feedback. Reviewers commonly value ease of use, implementation support, scheduling, real-time updates and payroll preparation.

Worth knowing

Workforce.com sells Scheduling, HR, Payroll and an All-in-One package. UK buyers must confirm which payroll and compliance functions apply locally rather than assuming features described for the United States are included.

Pricing is quote-based and depends on staff numbers, modules and implementation. Ask for the complete subscription, setup, integration and support cost.

Reviews are positive overall, although users mention setup and navigation complexity, occasional slowness, limited customisation and a mobile experience that can be weaker than desktop. Hotel Tech Report currently has no hotelier reviews for the payroll listing.

At a glance

Implementation: Configuration is front loaded rather than ongoing. Contract templates are pasted in with merge fields, then bundled by position so that the documents to sign, the pay template, holiday entitlement and required training all attach to a new starter automatically. Pay templates, business rules and role based dashboards are each set up once. Creating a starter afterwards needs only a name, an email address, a date of birth and a position, and the employee completes the HM Revenue and Customs new starter form, signs documents electronically and answers a short questionnaire from which the system assigns the tax code. The supplier provides a named implementation consultant through the first pay cycles. No implementation timeline, no named consultant and no implementation cost were given at the demonstration, and no onboarding duration is recorded anywhere, so the effort a hotel should budget for is unknown. Public reviews describe a setup learning curve, which is consistent with the configuration shown.
Training: No formal training programme, course catalogue or training cost is published or was discussed. Staff facing training is light because the employee application carries new starter forms, contract signature, holiday requests, shift pick up, payslips, expense claims and internal job adverts in one place. Manager facing training is the real requirement, because the rota screen, the rules engine, the exception based timesheet queue and the report builder all need to be understood before the system pays back. The supplier also sells a training records module as a separate purchase, which is a different thing from training on the product itself.
