Best work punch in
It’s the easiest app to use to login on to punch in and punch out for your job. You can track all your hours and time off hours. You can adjust the hours you need incase you make a mistake or forgot and then your supervisor we’ll only have to approve it. You can take a picture to prove your at work and sign in with so many features like face recognition or password or passcode with symbols.

It is very helpful especially the proper logging in & out at work. Reminding on time always and preparation of work to be done for the day. It also gives work balance by guiding the time in & out for each employee keeping track of the work to be done.

Happy Buddy Punch User
I use Buddy Punch for time tracking and PTO accrual. This software reduces stress for me by allowing me to track my hours as is convenient instead of needing to drop what I've got my hands in already to log in and punch in or out by the time on the clock's face.

Our buddy punch is used across the whole system and we use it for recording our punches in/ out and it tracks employees to be sure they are clocking in & out and are actually at the residence.

A Great website layout and ease of use!
We use Buddy Punch for time cards for our employees. Clocking in and out. Requesting vacation and sick leave. As a manager, I approve time cards and submissions. Its simplicity in the layout is very helpful at time efficiency. Our company was using Paychex Flex before and this system is much easier to use.

I like the simplicity of the website dashboard, and I can use it no matter the device (I travel a lot and it's useful to use it on my smartphone when I'm on the go). It takes a while to figure out how to enter times when not in real-time, but overall I like how it works and keeps an accurate record of my times!

My Most Helpful Buddy
All hourly employees with my company utilize Buddy Punch. It’s an always available and simple way to track our time. We no longer need to manually complete and submit timesheets. Pull up the site, punch in, start work. It's easy peasy! The mobile app makes tracking even easier.

Payroll Tracking with Ease
Buddy Punch is used throughout the entirety of this organization Though the law office only employs four individuals, it has eased the payroll tracking process immensely with use of the punch-in and punch-out features. We first switched to Buddy Punch about five months prior to this review, and we have enjoyed the simplicity of the platform.

Buddy Punch is Highly Recommend!
We use Buddy Punch company wide. Having the ability to track employee hours by department and location is a huge benefit to us as we can find out where the most time is spent. We also require GPS location in case we run into issues with employees clocking in/out when they are not where they are supposed to be.
I use buddy punch to clock in and out during the week to maintain my working hours. It's very useful and easy.

Buddy Punch Best Ever
I use Buddy Punch for a time clock function. Very easy to use and navigate. If I do have issues, Rachel has always been there for me. Before Rachel, Eric was the first person of contact, and was very helpful on signing me up with Buddy Punch.

Use my Buddy to keep track of Time
We all work different hours at different locations. During COVID pandemic, many of us work from home. This system keeps track of our work hours no matter when and where.

Easy peazy! One step and done!
It is used by the company to track the employees of the employees. We started using the system about three years ago. Its easy to use and makes it easy for the employer. Prior to this we didn't have a system to keep an electronic record. We simply put down our arrival time and recorded the time we left work.

First Review of Buddy Punch
We have temporary and contract employees that are paid hourly, and I am currently on contract. It is a simple, two-step process to record my time in and out efficiently and painlessly. I can see at a glance what my weekly total is and where I missed the mark on any given day. The ability to look back is also helpful when calculating hours over pay periods.

Best time keeping system
We use Buddy Punch for all internal staff for PTO tracking and hourly staff. This has cut down my time spent on internal payroll tremendously.

Thanks Buddy!
We are currently using Buddy Punch to track our hourly employee's time and attendance. As well as, track all of our employee's PTO. We were haveing issues keeping up with our PTO program and started looking for a solution. This is how we found Buddy Punch.

Buddy Punch is a Knockout!
Buddy Punch is used by our entire team for the purposes of scheduling and payroll tracking. Our staff was having an issue clocking in with the previous software, and I was looking for a faster payroll solution. As an owner, my time is valuable and I didn't want to spend it problem-solving with software or handholding my staff on clocking in.
