HCMToGo

It’s too bad that such a good idea was poorly executed. We recently switched to electronic time sheets with this app and I’m not super happy with the organization. I have to navigate through 2 different screen/menus to get to “clock in”. Why on earth there isn’t a option to clock in and out on your dash board is a little ridiculous. Requesting time off and looking at my time sheet is so confusing I can’t believe the old guys in the shop haven’t given up on it already. I feel like I need a business degree and a specialized two week training course to understand terminology, and labels for specific items. That’s after I figure out strange sorting techniques and how to access the most important features which are buried in menus. To whomever is designing the UI, LESS IS MORE! Things should be easy to get to and self explanatory. Clocking in and out is 90% of my activity on the app. Put it front and center with two clearly labeled buttons. Instead of giving us raw and calculated totals give us a normal unit like total actual time or the rounded time that we get paid for (depending on company). Requesting vacation should be laid out so you pick a start date and and end date from separate calendars or a date entry box. You shouldn’t have to specify the type of time off first, or if you do - hide the massive calendar until that step has been initiated. My point is that things should flow much smoother and it feels like someone has gone out of their way to make this an annoying app. Please spend some time updating the clunky interface!

This is my first time ever using or even having the option to use this kind of app for work! It is very easy to use and it’s SO convenient! Every big work organization should have this for their employees! Even down to the small details to see exactly how long you’ve work; down to the amount of days is just so cool to me. If I could give a bigger star rating I 100% would. I have heard of other employees having difficulties with this app. I’m not sure if it’s due to the user or our HR but I personally have had no problems. Not to mention requiring to update your password every so often is great. It’s a hassle to do but they do what they can safety of your information and I love it 😃

A company I work with recently switched to using HCMToGo. My first reaction was that the interface was extremely hard to use compared to the app we switched from and was way more intuitive, way more user friendly, it took me and everyone else I work with WAY longer than it should have to simply find our schedule. Information that should be easy to access is hidden through menus and tabs, maybe that’s all customizable to some point but the default UI would be way better if it was simplified. That’s my biggest gripe, and I hope the developers working on this app consider the non technical average joe and simplify the interface. The app crashes between opens. I understand logging out after use, but the app crashes and after each login I have to manually close the program each time. Minor inconvenience, but this app is riddled with minor inconveniences that add up across our company while we are adjusting to what is right now a very cumbersome app.
