Penny 的評斷

When I Work is what I call a 'utility' tool—it’s not flashy, but it’s incredibly effective at solving the core problem of staff scheduling. The AI here isn't going to write a novel, but it will save a store manager roughly 4–6 hours a week by automating the logic of 'who is available and who is qualified'. It’s a massive win for businesses with 10–50 employees where the owner is still doing the rotas manually. Don't expect the labor forecasting to be magic on day one. It needs to talk to your POS (like Square or Clover) to learn your sales patterns. If you aren't willing to integrate your data, you're paying for features you won't use. It’s a solid, mid-market choice that is significantly more user-friendly than the legacy enterprise systems, though larger corporations might find the compliance reporting a bit light compared to something like Deputy.

常見問題

Does When I Work have a free version?+
They used to have a generous free tier, but they have largely moved to a paid-only model for businesses. Expect to pay at least the base user fee to get any meaningful features.
Can I stop staff from clocking in if they aren't at the shop?+
Yes. It uses GPS geofencing. You can set a radius around your business location so staff can only clock in when they are actually on-site.
How does the AI auto-scheduling work?+
It looks at your 'must-fill' roles, matches them against staff availability and approved time-off, and populates the shifts. It won't get it 100% right every time, but it gets you 90% of the way there in seconds.
Does it work for UK businesses with different labor laws?+
Yes, it's used globally. While the pricing is in USD, the platform allows you to set custom break rules and overtime thresholds that align with UK or local labor regulations.
Can it handle holiday pay and leave?+
It tracks leave requests and accruals well, but it doesn't automatically calculate complex UK holiday pay averages. You'll need to export the data to your payroll provider for the final math.
