Amazing Product from a Customer Driven Company
LOVE IT! [sensitive content hidden] is amazing to deal with and never forgets who you are! The personal touch is always nice when dealing with CWS.
PROSThis system is very user friendly on computer or using the app. Employees love the ease of adding time off in the system with notifications that are returned for approval. System was very easy to have implemented with a great support team at CWS. Even after implementation and have used the product for a couple years, there is always support from the team at CWS in a quick and timely manner.I would recommend this for any employer as it is tailored to your needs of your company.
CONSThere is nothing I dont like about Time Out. It is easy and effective!
Reason for choosing TimeOut
Best features and quality. Great presentation and then group presentation with all the managers to show them how user friendly and easy time off reporting and entry can be!
Reasons for switching to TimeOut
ITRAK was painful! No support and the employees did not like it at all to the point they would stop putting time off in the system.

CWS Timeout
My overall experience with Timeout is great. system is very easy to use and not very expensive. Besides vacation tracking, I also use it to create a monthly global headcount report. Timeout's customer service very good. A big thanks and a great applause to [sensitive content hidden] who has helped me with many requests over the years. [sensitive content hidden] is very knowledgeable and a great problem solver. He always have answers and a able to fix many problems for me. [sensitive content hidden] is awesome.
PROSUser friendly. Very simple and easy to use.
CONSOne thing I don't like is the accrual process where the system accrue first and then deduct vacation taken. for example when an employee max out on their PTO and wanted to use on the last day of the month. The system will not accrue add'l PTO for this employee because it accrue first and deduct vacation taken so it stopped accruing add'l time because it maxed out but then deduct the vacation taken.
Reason for choosing TimeOut
User friendly and cost
Reasons for switching to TimeOut
We only switch the vacation tracking portion because Timeout is better. Timeout allows employees to submit vacation request and manager approval.

TimeOut is the Perfect Tool for Our Needs
We can run reports to see team members' status regarding using their PTO time, when is the heaviest usage during the year, and who is not using enough of their time so we can encourage them to schedule more time out.
PROSWe primarily use this tool to track PTO/Vacation, so that is all I can speak on. It is easy to use and clearly shows where each person's usage is at with an easy to read summary. We also set up our company holidays in the calendar for each year.
CONSOnce in a while, there may be a glitch with an exemption or carry-over amount, but the TimeOut team quickly responds with any questions I may have. And, usually, it ends up being a user error anyway.
Reason for choosing TimeOut
It was basic and fit our needs perfectly without paying for lots of extra add-ons we weren't going to use anyway.

Happy Customer
Overall the program is great and we are definitely glad we moved from our archaic in-house PTO tracking system. Customer Service has been awesome. Shout outs to [sensitive content hidden] who helped get us going and worked through issues we've encountered. They have been wonderful to work with.
PROSCost, ability to customize to our needs, ease of use.
CONSNeed a warning for duplicate entries the system does not allow. Only way to find out there is a problem is by encountering a Lock Out at login. Warning would allow a fix before the employee tries multiple times unsuccessfully to log on. Had this issue with same email address and user name. Also, when setting up the same person twice by accident. Seems like the system could tell this right away to avoid conflict and frustration for the user.
Vendor Response
Hi Lisa, Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that TimeOut is working well for you and that our support team has been helpful. We are adding back the warning which blocks adding the same email twice. Sorry that caused you inconvenience.

Great low cost option to track PTO
It's price and ease of use for both staff and the admin
CONSIt is sensitive to date ranges. If I enter an end date of 7/21 it is glitchy and doesn't allow staff to choose 7/20.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with entering date ranges. That should not be happening. We'll have a support analyst reach out to better understand what's going on and get that corrected for you.

Excellent! 10 / 10! We had nothing but the best experience with the Unity Suite Time off solution!
We started using Unity Suite in late 2014 and have not complaints. It is flexible, easy to use and very robust system! We had some customization done to our reports to make it easy for the group and it was in a matter of minutes by their team. Customer service and responsiveness from sales to support was at the same level. Support team was equally helpful, courteous, understanding of our needs at all time. Staff members are very professional and amazing to deal with.
CONSThere are ZERO cons in our experience with the product or the team. We have not experienced anything negative with the time off work product or the team.

Tracking Time Off Is Easy
Overall it has been pretty easy to use and makes tracking your time off easy. We were also able to add a link to our calendar which shows everyones time off. I would recommend this product.
PROSThis program is pretty easy to request time off and to track whether it's pto, sick days, special time off, etc. It's also easy to see what you've used and how many days you still need to use.
CONSIt glitched a couple of times and wouldn't allow me to select my time off by hours rather than day but I exited out and re-entered and it worked. I wish you could set it up to show your year by hire date rather than all years. Also, waiting for your supervisor to approve it can be an issue.

Thanks for the review. We understand your criticism for the process of needing to cancel and re-submit an approved day off instead of just being able to change the details. We have forwarded that suggestion to the product team.

Great Product
TimeOut was the first system that our company used to track PTO beyond excel and email. It was a game changer in terms of company visability, auditing of records, and reliability.
PROSThe access for all employees, the mobile app, the flexibility of the system to have multiple types of days out, and the integration with Outlook.
CONSThere were a couple of things that were laborious, like black out dates, etc. To override you had to change the date and add the black out days, instead of allowing an admin override. In addition, for some reason, it did not flag when employee PTO requests would put them in the red.

Simple and straightforward PTO tracking.
I love that this is a tool that does 1 thing and does it well. Too many pieces of software try to be a catch-all, often leaving UX as an afterthought. Because the product is streamlined, it really considers all aspect of PTO and is therefore great at it.
CONSThe way the product looks could be updated but that is purely cosmetic. I will take accuracy, speed, and functionality over looks.

A Great Program to Keep Track of Vacation and Time Off
Before using TimeOut, keeping track of vacation time and PTO was a mess. Each employee had to remember and track their own days and it was based on a system of trust that they would be honest about what days they were off. TimeOut solves that issue so that there is clarity among employees and bosses about remaining PTO and vacation time.
PROSIt's so simple to use. Time out has a dashboard that allows you to track employees days off, remaining vacation time left and when you or an employee would like to request time off, you can set up in the system supervisors and/or bosses who will directly receive the email from the employee and approve any time off.
CONSIf you don't end up using time off or vacation time, you have to remember to go back to the system and go through a process to remove it as it is not done automatically.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review. We're glad that TimeOut has helped your company. You mentioned that your configuration does not remove unused time off automatically. Give our support team a call and we would be happy to help with this.

Each employee is in charge of keeping up with their own hours and time off. It makes payroll a breeze. The cloud system allows for flexibility; sometimes our employees work from home or another location and now they can clock in from wherever they are.

Great tool for keeping track of vacation or time off at work.
I am able to keep track of my vacation days and stat holidays on a virtual calendar. I am able to send requests for days off to my supervisor where they can approve or reject it. This tool helps me keep organized. It keeps track of my remaining days left in the year, as well as what has been accrued up to this point.
PROSGood tracker of stat holidays, days off, floater day, etc. Highlights all of the stat holidays and days booked off in the calendar. Sent requests to your supervisors for them to approve. You can add notes or messages when you send your request.
CONSI feel like the look is a little outdated. It can be more modernized. However, the functionality is great and works flawlessly which is much more important than the look.

TimeOut is an effective way to remind me how much personal time I have left.
I like that there are several options to select to on any given day where I need to insert a request (e.g. sick day, personal day, vacation day, work remotely, etc.). I like the high level table that shows how much time was accrued and how much time remains.
CONSI think it is extremely counter intuitive that you cannot click on a day and insert a request. The first time I used this software it took me a long time to realize that I had to click in the top left corner in order to submit a request. I kept trying to double click the day on the calendar. I was with several colleagues and we all had this problem.
