Keeping track of leave for 40 employees in this program is so much easier than doing it by hand.

Pros
Ease of use by employee and supervisor. The ability to quickly see and approve leave requests. The system is completely paperless.
Cons
The employee can't easily print out/access a report of his time taken. He can easily see what is left and what the screen shows but he can't print his history.

Thanks for leaving this great review, Brian! It's always helpful to hear what is working well and what we can improve on.
Your employees do have the ability to view their complete history, which shows every transaction (even for past years). It sounds like it would be helpful for you if we made the transaction history easier to print, though. Is that correct?
I'll have our customer support team reach out to you to discuss this further. We want to make sure your employees are taken care of!

Pros
the portal is easy & simple to navigate & executing time off requests are quick and easy. Employees had no issue learning & navigating in the system.
Cons
when an email is issued to the manager, once the manager approves via email, there no indication that the time off email request was approved/denied. In other words, if there are many time off requests are emailed from various employees, there is no way you are able to tell which you've approved/denied, unless you go into the portal to view what's left.

Thank you for the review and for the feedback! We'll reach out to you directly to get a bit more information about what you're hoping to see after a manager approves a request. We do send an email notification to the requestor and to anyone else copied on the request, so we'd love to get more detail on what you'd like to see. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind review, Andrea! We really appreciate having you as a customer. Regarding the issue you mentioned with vacation calculations, I just double checked with our support team and they said they were able to do a phone call with you explaining that the numbers were actually calculated correctly and that they were able to help explain the calculations to you.

Pros
The software is easy to use and it is intuitive for someone who doesn't use the software often. Meaning that it is still easy to find what you are looking for - you don't have to memorize a process....just the name.
Cons
The times to select for when we will be out; they are not conducive to a school schedule. The hours represent an office style job for an 8am to 5pm and are only in half an hour increments. If it were possible to change these per account, schools need a little more flexibility because otherwise teachers are taking out a little more time from their personal days.

Hi Elizabeth, and thanks for the review! I'm so glad to hear Built for Teams is working well for you. Regarding your question about the times of day and schedules, I have great news...you can indeed change the scheduled hours to better accommodate your actual daily schedules. I'll have our support team reach out to your account administrator to make sure they know how to make that change. Thanks for bringing this to our attention so that we can help your organization better configure your account!

It is an easy and efficient way to ask for time off, much more efficient then write a formal paper request.
Pros
Simple and efficient. This system is very easy to use. I am able to quickly submit time to my administrator and they can approve instantly.
Cons
This system shows my total accumulated hours. At my school, we only take full or half days of PTO so it would be more convenient to have the time divided in that manner.

Thanks for the review, Benjamin! We appreciate you taking time to give us feedback on your experience with Built for Teams. Regarding half-days and full-days, we do have a setting that allows you to restrict usage of PTO to just half or full days. If you have any questions about how to enable that setting feel free to reach out to us via our support site and we'll walk you through it. Thanks!

Pros
The aggregated out-of-office calendar is very useful for providing visibility across multiple teams and ensuring that the necessary approvals are made.
Cons
Approvals can sometimes take awhile and it's not clear how to check the status of them. We would have liked to see if e.g. someone has looked at a PTO request, or a way to send reminders to take follow up action.
Response: Built for Teams, Objective
Date: April 2018
April 2018
Great feedback! It's true that approvers don't always take immediate action when they receive the PTO request notifications (even though the notifications themselves are immediate). Because the notifications are primarily via email, there isn't a reliable way to know if the approver has "looked at" a PTO request but...would it help if the system sent reminder emails to the approvers, reminding them that they have PTO requests still awaiting their review?

It is faster to verbally put an RTO at my place of employment than it is to send this and get approval. Not your sites fault though.
Response: Built for Teams, Objective

April 2018
Reid, we're sympathetic to the fact that having to formally request time off isn't quite as convenient as a quick verbal heads up to your supervisor. The downside, as you know, is that an informal process doesn't lend itself to accuracy.
With companies needing to tracking and report on numbers, there's a bit of necessary process but our goal is to make that process the best it possibly can be. We'll keep working on making this process as painless as possible so that someday you hopefully feel this is just as easy as the verbal RTO request!
Is there anything else we can do to improve in order to merit a 10/10?

Consolidation of PTO request across multiple International offices.
Pros
Built for Teams is a feature rich solution that. Managing PTO request across multiple office Internationally has been a difficult challenge. The sales team was very responsive to our request and needs and found a way to make our different situation work. The deployment was smooth, with the support team staying close during the entire process. Fast response times, and frequent check-ins during the process. Feature rich solution with all and more than we needed.

It would be nice to have better filtering options on the Directory and People tabs. Its not really a con, but more of a feature request.
