The Workforce app streamlines key features from Time and Attendance, Staffing and Scheduling, and ShiftSelect®. Note: Available features differ based on your solution. FEATURES As an employee: • Add shifts during self-scheduling periods. • Request open shifts and trade. • View your schedule and request time off. • Clock in based on your location and get notified when there is a mismatch with your location. • View missed clocking alerts, clock in/out, sign off your timecard, and add/edit/delete clockings and calendars. As a manager: • View your employees' timecards, requests, exceptions, and contact information. • Correct a clocking or location mismatch by editing the schedule or clocking. • View missed clocking alerts and preventable overtime, approve employee clockings, calendars, and timecards, and add, edit, or delete employee clockings and calendars. • View hourly staffing levels to show situations that need immediate attention such as over or understaffing.

Missed punch errors
03/20/2025

tondalina
Automatically advancing every punch from an In to an Out beyond the day of the missing punch causes every punch and therefore the calculated hours worked to cascade errors for every single punch for the rest of the pay period. 38 punch errors to be corrected for 1 missed Lunch Out on the first day. Also punches and punch errors from API payroll software are not reflected correctly in Workforce mobile. An employee checking from home cannot accurately tell if they have errors for timecard sign-off although sign-off is offered through the app. On the app. there is no option for ‘I do not agree with the hours shown’. If an employee has false errors, or is Not Sure due to the app and does not want to falsely agree, their only option is to Not sign off at all which has a Different set if HR consequences. :0/

Needs a lot of work

Not user friendly at all. Needs to be an option in my schedule to see only days scheduled. Currently on most weeks just looking at the calendar it appears I’m working 6-7 days a week, this is because the app shows any note, unavailability request, you name it as the same color or as the same value as a shift you are actually approved and scheduled to work. Very confusing, I split 12 hour day shifts and night shifts from time to time but all shifts show on calendar the same color, would be much better to have different shifts (that are already setup and existing in API) to show different colors. Also, unlike the online version of API you can’t see others schedule within your department so forget about seeing who’s on your shift or looking at possible co-workers to swap/trade shifts with, this app only shows your own data. I recommend NurseGrid even though you have to enter schedule manually, it’s much easier to use and you can add all of your colleagues as they and your unit/office/team create profiles.

Flexibility to allow changes needs improving
12/15/2025

Opinion of App
When using Symplr it is great for looking at the time card, but terrible for making changes to the time card. Employees can add and edit clocking times, but when there are duplicates or “critical exceptions”, then employees can’t delete or edit the duplicate. If the added clocking has to be reviewed and approved by management before it can be signed off on the time card, then deleting entries and fixing “critical exceptions” should be allowed by employees who aren’t managers, so that it can be easily approved by management. Recommendation for improvement: Allow employees who aren’t managers more access/flexibility to fixing their time cards for manager approval.

Useless

I use this app to check my schedule and to clock in and out at work. Not only has it not shown my schedule at random times, it has shown me working the wrong days. I don’t have access to the website needed to login from home, I can only access it at work so if I were to forget my schedule or if my schedule changed I wouldn’t know. The clock in/out feature has been buggy at best for about a month straight, there have been multiple times that it’s said I’m out of range of the clock in/out point even when standing right next to it, moving around doesn’t help either. The past two days it won’t even show me the clock in/out option and the settings button disappeared so I couldn’t even report an issue. I literally would not use this app if I had any other option.
