About

Mately is a cloud-based workforce scheduling and time-tracking app for shift-based small businesses, including pubs, cafés, shops and care teams. Managers build and publish rotas, review projected wage costs and flag scheduling conflicts. Tell Mately drafts a rota from manager-provided changes for review before publication. Employees use iPhone or Android apps to view shifts and clock in or out, with optional workplace Wi-Fi or distance checks. The app creates timesheets for approval, tracks time-off requests and balances, and supports shift swaps, open-shift claims, team chat, announcements and shared documents with optional signatures. Approved hours and overtime can be exported for Sage 50 Payroll, Xero UK Payroll, BrightPay or QuickBooks, or as CSV or Excel files. Mately prepares payroll data but does not process payroll or create payslips.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We've been using Root HR for a while now, and it has made managing attendance, leave, employee records, and payroll much easier. The interface is clean, and most tasks don't take much time once you're familiar with it. One thing I really appreciate is the support team—they respond quickly and are willing to help whenever we've had questions or needed changes.
  • Root HR has helped us keep our staff records, documents, holidays, attendance and HR tasks organised in one central system. As a real estate/property business, we need to manage employees across different roles and locations, and Root HR makes it easier to track information without relying on spreadsheets. The document expiry reminders and compliance alerts are very useful, especially for keeping employee files up to date and reducing manual follow-up.
  • Root HR is simple to use and helps us manage employee records, documents, holidays, attendance, rota planning and compliance in one place. The UKVI and document expiry alerts are especially useful because they help us stay organised and reduce manual checking. The staff portal and mobile access also make it easier for employees to submit requests and update information without relying on paper forms or email.

Cons

  • There are a lot of features, so it took us some time to learn everything in the beginning. I'd also like to see a few more customization options in reports.
  • The system does take some time to set up properly at the beginning, especially when uploading staff details and documents for the first time. However, once everything is added and the team understands how to use it, the platform becomes much easier and saves time in day-to-day HR management.
  • Some features may require initial setup and guidance, especially if a company is moving from spreadsheets or another HR system. A little training is helpful at the beginning, but once the system is configured, it becomes much easier to manage daily HR tasks.
