I wish you could set it up to show your year by hire date rather than all years. Also, waiting for your supervisor to approve it can be an issue. > > Overall it has been pretty easy to use and makes tracking your time off easy. We were also able to add a link to our calendar which shows everyones time off. I would recommend this product. ----- ### "We love TimeOut\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *6 January 2025* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are a historic house museum with a combination of full-time and part-time employees and everyone loves TimeOut\! The vacation tracking is so easy to use for the administrator as well as the staff members. Signing in for the hourly employees is brilliant and the mobile app makes everyone's life so easy to approve and keep track of time. It's so clear and easy to use. We can't say enough good things about it\! > > **Cons**: We love everything about TimeOut. We can't think of what we like least. > > Wonderful\! We were keeping track of hours on paper and this has made our lives so much easier. ----- ### "Needs more love, needs more improvements" — 2.0/5 > **Vanessa** | *22 August 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is a solution for global companies with employees in multiple countries. so that this way we have one universal system to use. But I feel that this is the only advantage that timeout has at our organization. > > **Cons**: the user interface is not modern at all. The buttons for actions are not easy to find. When I want to remove multiple days off at once, the system only allows 1 day removed at a time, despite my bringing this up to support to resolve. The configuration of timeout policies is overly complicated, it would be nice to easily program this. it would be great to have a page to visualize the reports on a dashboard instead of an excel sheet download. it would be nice to have more report filters not only by country but by timeout policy. > > Overall, I wish timeout made more routine updates to the platform. It feels very behind to other similar offerings. They need to seriously improve the user experience. And integrate some AI functionality and online chat support. ----- ### "Amazing Product from a Customer Driven Company" — 5.0/5 > **Cheryl** | *17 May 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This system is very user friendly on computer or using the app. Employees love the ease of adding time off in the system with notifications that are returned for approval. System was very easy to have implemented with a great support team at CWS. Even after implementation and have used the product for a couple years, there is always support from the team at CWS in a quick and timely manner.I would recommend this for any employer as it is tailored to your needs of your company. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I dont like about Time Out. It is easy and effective\! > > LOVE IT\! \[sensitive content hidden\] is amazing to deal with and never forgets who you are\! The personal touch is always nice when dealing with CWS. ----- ### "CWS Timeout" — 5.0/5 > **Kristy** | *25 August 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly. Very simple and easy to use. > > **Cons**: One thing I don't like is the accrual process where the system accrue first and then deduct vacation taken. for example when an employee max out on their PTO and wanted to use on the last day of the month. The system will not accrue add'l PTO for this employee because it accrue first and deduct vacation taken so it stopped accruing add'l time because it maxed out but then deduct the vacation taken. > > My overall experience with Timeout is great. system is very easy to use and not very expensive. Besides vacation tracking, I also use it to create a monthly global headcount report. Timeout's customer service very good. A big thanks and a great applause to \[sensitive content hidden\] who has helped me with many requests over the years. \[sensitive content hidden\] is very knowledgeable and a great problem solver. He always have answers and a able to fix many problems for me. \[sensitive content hidden\] is awesome. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/423000/timeout?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/423000/timeout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
