“This is the very best rostering software that I have used. It is so simple to learn. Super easy for staff to use and most importantly the support is sensational. There is loads of online training, but the email support is first class - often responding within minutes, which is critical when you get a glitch mid - pay processing. I highly recommend. Jane”
