Amazing payroll platform

Reviewed on 01/11/2023

Pros

foundU is quick and easy to use. It makes the weekly pays a breeze. Rarely are there any issues, ad if there are the resource articles are so easy to follow and 9/10 times you can easily find what you need.

Cons

Ability for the app to work on mobile devices when there is no phone service or Wi-Fi would be great. If the employees could still clock on and off and it sends the update when they have connection again would help out immensely. Also a security update is needed that stops the app on personal devices using the device time and date settings which could be wrong or easily changed by a dishonest employee.

Reasons for Switching to foundU

It had been previously used by staff and in a business recently purchased and bought into the group, so we decided to stick with what was working.

Greatly minimised time required for payroll processing. Also created a smoother flow of the rostering and shift approval process. Greatly added to the efficiency of management and finance processes. Support staff were also impeccable and greatly assisted in the set-up process.

Pros

Intuitive design makes it easy to use and a breeze to integrate into an established workflow. It also allows for staff with widely varying levels of software proficiency to learn to use the program in no time.

Cons

It would be useful to be able to view the shifts for a week all together on one page rather than only one day at a time in the approved shifts section.
