Built for Teams Software

Pros

I like how easy it is to select what days I am selecting for vacation, and seeing how I accrue my PTO and how it get's used.

Cons

I do not like how it is difficult to tell the overall amount of time I have of PTO, and that I needed the admin of the system to allow me to dip into the negative hours, even though I would eventually accrue that time.

Visual presentation of the org chart

Pros

It is very easy to use and you are able to view the entire org chart by zooming it in and out. It contains all the information that we need and show the company structure on one screen.

Cons

The width of the org chart gets very wide when you have multiple divisions, it can be more mobile friendly and such more responsive though the company has many many sub-divisions.

Pros

easy to access and use transmittal enjoy the ease of the softaware versus other similar software i would recommedn

Cons

break down of days left...there are times when it is difficult to see desired vacation days left can be confusing

Pros

I like the ability to see when PTO is added. This helps me plan accordingly as to how long I can take for a vacation or upcoming event.

Peace of Mind that PTO was being approved and tracked in a reasonable manner. We are a small growing office and we were outgrowing the honor system.

Pros

Enjoyed the ease of tracking and approving PTO. This has really streamlined the approval process and the planning of our Office PTO to avoid conflicts.

Cons

We find it tedious as we need to manually Pro-Rate the PTO allowed each year per employee based on policy. An auto calculator for this function would be nice.

Easily able to notify my employer when I am taking time off, while keeping track of my own hours. Simply and engaging software!

Pros

I like that Built for Teams helps employees keep track of any earned time off in a detailed manner. I also love the feature that allows an employee to send a message to their employer with the reason for their time off.

Cons

Occasionally there is a need to take time off that is less than 30 minutes. With Built for Teams, we must take at least 30 minutes off at a time (rather than say, 15 minutes).

Pros

Calendar feature showing when people have time off, anniversaries, holidays, pending pto, etc. It's very easy to see when people will be out of the office, or their request needs to be reviewed, along with company holidays always being visible to the team.

Cons

Maps doesn't always recognize address so when we were trying to pick a new place to move our office it wasn't very useful.

Pros

The easy PTO tracking. We use Quickbooks payroll and the Quickbooks time off tracking is impossible. Built for Teams has an easy interface for the employees, and great tools for HR.

Cons

No easy way to document warnings or other disciplinary steps leading to termination. It would also be nice if there was a way to track percent effort or timesheets.

We gained a clear, local spot for all of our team's personal information.

Pros

The interface is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. I never have to wonder where my information is and from the beginning, I knew how to navigate the site.

Ease of use for both administrators and employees, and fluid and easily accessible place for important information such as PTO and recruiting.

Pros

The software itself is a just right fit. We don't have loads of features that we don't need or use. It is simple and powerful, and that makes it easy for our employees to use regularly, which is the only way a system can really be successful within an organization.

This software has allowed several of our administration team to assist with paid time off in an easy way. It also allows you to notify others if people are going to be out. I've found it easy to use.

It's extremely easy to use, and the account page is easy to navigate - very straightforward! I really like using Built for Teams.

Pros

It's easy to navigate and user friendly. There isn't a lot of information to fill out.

Cons

I haven't come across anything negative about the software.

I have only used Built for Teams once (for requesting time off). The user interface was easy to navigate and simple to apply.

I haven't needed to use my BFT account too often, but when I recently placed a time off request, it was easy to use and I appreciated the confirmation email when my request was approved.

Pros

User interface is easy to navigate

Cons

Remembering my login info

Overall we are satisfied. I think we used to be able to pull a report on terminated employees but that's not an option anymore. It would be useful. Also we find it hard to keep track of employees rolling over PTO year after year (eligible for up to 3 days per year, up to 10 days) - it's just confusing and some kind of tool that could help us with tracking that would be amazing. We also have part time employees with different eligibility and it would be nice to be able to set the roll-over rate individually vs. the same number being applicable to all and then we have to go in and change it for the PT employees. Email customer service is quick and good. Thanks.

Pros

Easy, straight forward, clean interface, good email support.

Cons

See previous page.

Advice to Others

See previous page.

I don't take a lot of time off but when I have needed to leave early or go to a day of training , I was able to go in and quickly sign up for my time off.

I use BFT at our school and it is an extremely easy to use system. Couldn't be more happy with it or the company.

I have only used the software once but it worked out just fine for my needs. The only problem I had was getting login information from the business manager at my school.

It has been great using built for teams. Very easy and fast to use. It is easy to introduce to new employees and they understand it right away.

Pros

It is so easy to use and it is very professional

Cons

I do not have issues with the system. We are very happy with it.

Built for Teams has streamlined our employee tracking and PTO usage. Prior to built we attempted to maintain multiple spread sheets and forms for PTO approvals and tracking along with employee information. Built has allowed us to consolidate all of those systems into one user friendly system and has improved our accuracy in tracking and approving PTO. Our employees are especially enjoying the ability to log in and see how much PTO they have at anytime. Customer support is fantastic and the developers continue to add new features and reports that continue bringing added value to us as a Built user.
