Working with Alkimi
Comments: Working with Alkimi is great. Making Rota, payroll, clocking in and out.
Pros:
Love everything about Alkimi. You can access it from anywhere.
Cons:
There is nothing at the moment I don't like.
Cant duplicate Supervisor box?
Comments: Good- not only rotas there is a quick & easy to use reporting system for incidents at work plus quick messaging system for personal or team chsts.
Pros:
Simple & easy to use rota system. Can quickly access on both computer & personal mobile.
Cons:
I am unable to replicate Supervisor shifts for all my night team without having to go into each individual shift and tick the Supervisor box. I cannot preload a Supervisor ticked shift into my saved shifts or drag a Supervisor ticked shift along a run of consecutive days. Makes completing rota's quite time consuming & otherwise spolis what is a quick and easy to use application.
Avoid . Seems to suit organisation only not individual users
Comments: Poor . Miscalculated 10 hrs in the first week I used it.
Pros:
Very unhelpful . Unwilling to engage with user as user didn’t have a contract with them.
Cons:
Not an organisation I would trust - see above

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we’d love the opportunity to address your concerns. We’re always here to listen to our users, and your input is invaluable in helping us improve. We understand that in the first week of using a new system, there can sometimes be disparities as everyone becomes familiar with the platform. Our system calculates hours based on the roster created by each employer, and we are more than happy to help clarify any discrepancies you might have experienced. Please do reach out us, we are here to help. As for your concern about our system suiting organisations only, it’s worth noting that as a HRIS system, we aim to help employers comply with legislation and manage their operations effectively, which in turn benefits employees. This requires certain information to make the system work correctly for everyone. We’d love to make things right. Contact us so we can assist you further
