Piece of CakeHR

What do you like best? I love the ease of use. Both as an employee and an admin, it's easy to learn and use the software. What do you dislike? My company would love to be able to use the time tracking feature CakeHR recently added, but at this time, it isn't a good fit. However, we are communicating with CakeHR and expressed what needs we would need filled in order to switch (examples being more diverse reporting options, and more options in settings). What problems are you ...

I can log in and see how many days people are using so quickly and print out a spreadsheet of the days/reasons why. Easy to use for even those that have no idea about technology. What do you dislike? I wish it had the clock in and clock out feature! I hate that the calendar starts on a Monday, we are used to the calendar starting on a Sunday (USA). I believe that there are a lot of ...
