### "PTO Tracking and Management"

November 21, 2018

3.0

I would mention it to others, but wouldn't recommend or not recommend. I am not sold on it.

Pros

Very simple product to track PTO and Sick Days. Decent Web Interface and small app to request time off. #1 Pro - Cheap

Cons

It is very restrictive. The ical feeds don't work well on Mac. The way they handle everything according to Org charts is very limiting. There are no notification rules (for instance notify 1 month out of employee annual review). It is very simplistic overall.

November 22, 2018

Thank you for posting a review. I'm sorry to hear the product isn't meeting your expectations and we'd love to talk further to see how we can help. Regarding the iCal feeds on Mac, we use them extensively on Macs as do many other customers and we've not experienced nor heard about any issues at all. So, let's talk and see how we can help you resolve any issues you are experiencing! Perhaps it would help to go over the functionality of the product with you; it's really quite powerful and flexible but perhaps there are features/capabilities you're as of yet unaware of?

### "It's a good way to manage PTO and view team calendars."

February 26, 2018

4.0

When I need to request PTO, I can just go to the simple portal and get it done in less than a minute.

Pros

I like being able to view coworkers' birthdays and one-year work dates on the calendar. It makes planning events easier.

Cons

The Org Chart is not well formatted for horizontal orgs. My company is pretty flat, so I have to scroll all the way over to get a full view.

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

February 27, 2018

Thanks for your feedback! Regarding formatting the org chart, if you click the Options button on the org chart, you can change the formatting to the "condensed" format which is better for organizations where the structure is very flat. Give that a try and let us know if that helps!

### "Built for Teams is the best tool for PTO!"

October 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

I mainly use this software to manage my personal PTO and to manage my direct report's PTO. It is simple and easy to use. I like how I get email notifications and that I can clearly see the history of days taken off.

Cons

I wish Built for Teams would link to my outlook calendar so I can see when my direct report was off instead of manually writing it in.

November 13, 2020

Allison, thanks for submitting a review! It's always great to hear how much our customers are enjoying our product. I want to make sure you know that you actually CAN sync your Built for Teams calendar to your Outlook calendar (or Google) via an iCal feed. This is a function that needs to be initiated by your account admin, but it is possible and many of our customers use this functionality. Thanks again for your review and for being a Built for Teams customer.

### "A functional affordable HR application"

December 27, 2018

5.0

We started using built for teams to track PTO, coming from a process of email and spreadsheets. It has allowed us to better track and oversee PTO as an organization.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Able to quickly review my teams PTO at a glance - Email notifications are great

Cons

\- Have to create multiple entries when you have an interrupted span of days off to request - Days off are requested in hours which can be confusing to new users

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

December 28, 2018

Thank you, Chris, for the review! I'd love to hear more about how you think the system should work when taking time off that isn't consecutive days, i.e. you take some days off, work a few days, then take more days off. It seems like those \*should\* be separate requests but I'd love to hear more about what you think. Account balances can be viewed in days or hours. When submitting a request, though, the system does calculate how many hours that request will use. This is critical to having a system that is both highly accurate and highly flexible. I think there are a few products on the market that do everything in days, but those systems are extremely inflexible in terms of what they can support. We've opted for the more robust, more accurate approach!

It is super easy to use and has had a high success rate for us.

Cons

It is another program to implement and keep up with.

### "Easy to use"

September 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

How easy it is to use. Four simple tabs that have everything you need. My favorite part is seeing the paid time off. Being able to see the current balance, scheduled to earn, scheduled to use, and remaining this year and having the option of having it in days or hours. The other nice part of the tool is you can submit a vacation on the calendar or under the paid time off tab.

Cons

At this point in time I can't say that there is anything that I like least about Built for Teams.

### "BFT review"

December 22, 2018

5.0

Built for Teams allows us to track our PTO and not rely on a manual process to track carryover vacation. It’s been helpful with document compliance for our quarterly safety and HR topics as well.

Pros

PTO request and tracking and the ability to approve via email.

Cons

Counts hours for salaried PTO not days. Since our weekend hours are shortened it can cause overages in PTO.

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

December 26, 2018

Dale, it's great to hear that Built for Teams is helping to streamline things for your company! For the weekends, where your hours are shortened, the system will allow you to set up schedules that account for those shorter days so that PTO time is still exact and accurate. If we can help you with setting that up just reply to this and we'll be happy to do so!

### "Great for small business"

February 22, 2019

5.0

I have a small business with 6 employees. Just easy to track for us and our staff. Worth the small expense.

Pros

It's super simple. When we hire a new employee, I have them fill out their entire profile so not only is it easy to track PTO and sick days, but all the HR info is in one place. Simple.

Cons

This may be possible, but I have not figured out how to sync the built for teams calendar to our fast mail calendar (Apple calendar synced). Would love it if it were connected.

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

February 28, 2019

Glad to hear we're helping you run your business, Jeremy! I just did some research on FastMail and according to their online documentation, it appears that they don't support the industry-standard iCal protocol. That's unfortunate! It might be worth reaching out to them to suggest that they put that on their product roadmap. This might be the first calendar product I've come across that doesn't support iCal so I would think they'd want to do that!

December 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

Calendar is awesome in a small branch that is how we track who is out so we can plan accordingly.

Cons

Would be nice if we could share within our branch we also use the calendar in outlook so branch is aware of who is out.

Thank you so much for your Five Star Review Mark! So glad to hear you are utilizing the calendar feature for staffing and time off planning. The good news is you can actually use an iCal feed to integrate your Built for Teams calendar into your Outlook calendar to share as you please. You can even create custom iCal feeds with specific information for specific groups of people. We would be happy to help you set this up. Thanks again for your review and for being a Built for Teams customer!

### "Very User-Friendly"

February 24, 2019

5.0

Overall, software is extremely simple and has removed my need to ask our office manager regularly for time-off status.

Pros

It's extremely easy to see how much time off I've had in different areas (sick, vacation, work trips away from the office) and to request time off in those different categories.

Cons

I could be wrong about this and just missing it, but I don't believe I can see in each category, how many days I have requested but that have yet to be approved. So, sometimes I look at my balance and wonder if it includes pending requests.

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

March 4, 2019

Andrew, thank you for being our customer and for taking time out of your busy schedule to post a review of Built for Teams. Customer feedback is so important to us! The 'Current Requests' section shows all pending requests and the status of them, but we don't total up those which are pending but not approved (because it's usually just one or two requests at most, we've found). But that's a great question and something we'll review as a team to see if we can improve how that works! Thanks for the input!

### "Good Value for your money but bery basic"

September 24, 2018

4.0

Built for teams is helping our team submit PTO requests. Its a simple and well laid out product but doesn't have many bells and whistles. It is a good product for the cost.

Pros

The Software is easy to use and visually appealing. It gives just the basics.

Cons

It does not provide much functionality for rolling over excess PTO to be used in another year or other more complex situations that may arise regarding benefits.

Review Source

### "Good PTO and Org chart"

December 11, 2018

5.0

Great overall, haven't had any issues with it.

Pros

Putting in PTO and viewing my company's org chart is really easy, never had any issues

Cons

Booking PTO over a holiday can sometimes be confusing. I wish the holidays were grayed out on the calendar or something.

Review Source

Response from Built For Teams

December 12, 2018

Thanks for the feedback and review! We'd love to talk to you more about your holiday comment if possible. Holidays don't require any special effort on your part; you simply submit your time off request and if it spans a holiday, that day doesn't deduct any hours from your account. If you have any questions at all about this we'd love to talk with you!

February 21, 2019

Tracking employees time off, coverage with the calendar

Pros

This software is very user friendly, and is very helpful with reporting totals at the end of the month. Great Place to store reviews and other HR documents.

Cons

I would like for employees to be able to choose hourly vs only 4hr increments.

### "Great for schedule and keeping track of PTO"

December 26, 2018

5.0

Love using it! makes requesting PTO easy and easy to keep track. It's great that it lets me put in reason too

Pros

It told me exactly how much PTO time i had left and requesting was super easy too

Cons

Sometimes I put in potential PTO in way way in advance just in case but PTO time always reflect time before PTO taken when requested so sometimes it left me wondering why i have so little PTO hours left when i really don't

Response from Built For Teams

December 27, 2018

Lucy, I'm glad you enjoy using Built for Teams! Great question/comment regarding time off scheduled for the future. If you look at the "detail" view on your PTO account you'll see that we show several different calculations. Your current balance reflects what is in your account as of right now. You should also see a line that shows what is scheduled for the future, so that you can easily see how much you have now and how much you will have \*if\* you take off all of the time you have scheduled. If you have any questions at all about this, please respond to this and we'll help you out!

### "Great time saver for tracking PTO"

October 30, 2017

4.0

Saved multiple hours of work for an individual trying to track down who had time off and how much could they use.

Pros

Very easy to use, good end user access and details. Easy to use via mobile device or through desktop.

Cons

Lacks some out-of-the-box functionality. The tool is so good at its core functionality, you want to use it to do more, such as track work travel schedules.

September 4, 2018

5.0

I've been managing BTF for my company for about 2 yrs now. At first it felt a bit overwhelming but once I started using more often, I no longer feel that way. Any time I have a question or issue, customer support is quick to reply and takes care of those issues. I never feel hesitant to email them because reps have always been friendly and helpful.

Pros

Lots of options, customer service replies quickly, easy to learn to use

Cons

While professional looking, the look of the website is a bit dull.

I have over 60 employees who I had to train on how to use this software and use it on a weekly basis to keep track of PTO time.
