Reviews
(1-3 of 3)Workforce ready review
- Reporting is probably the best feature of WFR, it is easy to create and modify your own reporting needs while filtering the data and exporting.
- Using FMLA, ACA, & Points helps us manage our associate data effectively.
- Self Service
- Attendance(points) process could use some improvement. Setting up and maintaining I find easier than WFC however we lost some functionality in the automatic processing as well as document generation.
- FMLA module has a lot of restrictions on setup and has to be handled manually.
- Not all fields for data entry are effective data which cause some issues in changing associates profiles in a timely manner.
