Boomr is a versatile time tracking tool that caters to the needs of both managers and employees. Managers in training find Boomr highly beneficial as it allows them to easily track hours and export payroll data for approval. The entire staff can use Boomr to track various aspects such as hours, breaks, and time spent working, which not only simplifies the input process but also provides environmental benefits and convenience. Additionally, Boomr's ability to restrict clocking in from anywhere ensures accurate location tracking for non-salaried employees.
Justworks, on the other hand, serves as a comprehensive HR management solution for organizations. It acts as an HRIS, managing benefits, time off, and paystubs in a user-friendly manner.

Solid PEO offering with great compliance support
JustWorks is our PEO/HR and compliance and benefits and payroll platform. It's used by HR for administering headcount, benefits, running payroll, etc. It's used by all employees for configuring their employment accounts, electing benefits, etc.
Using a PEO instead of a standard payroll provider gives us more flexibility for multi state hires, and provides more competitive insurance rates.

Easy To Use!
Currently, our entire staff uses Boomr to log work hours. We have the option of signing into our account using the company tablet but most of us prefer the ease of having the app downloaded onto our phones. It has been especially useful now that half of our team works remotely. We've been able to add our home offices as locations so that we can check in and log our hours with no issue.
- Easy to use
- Simple to understand
- Small margin for error
- Lacking in-app communication/requests

Justworks provides the enhanced feature set that allows an organization to easily manage a lot of users - with great benefits for the employees!
Justworks is being used across my entire organization, where it helps us manage payroll, health benefits, and ancillary benefits for all of our employees.
- It helps us setup payroll and benefits for new employees in our company.
- It enables employees to easily keep their work calendars updated, quickly see the status of their paychecks, and download their work-related tax forms.
- Justworks could more easily integrate with Google Calendar so that people can get their coworkers' vacation calendars quickly on the Google Calendar (the "subscribe via iCal" button does this for iCal App, Does not help with Windows users who are viewing the Google Calendar in their browser).
- If a user wants to download all of their paystubs for record-keeping, they have to click on every link for each pay period. It would be helpful to have a single "download all paystubs" button.

It Just Works - Trust me
Justworks is used by our company for all HR, including payroll, healthcare, compliance, 1099 and vendor management. It has become a very trusted source for me and my employees in answering common and/or complicated questions. The resources in developing employee handbooks alone have saved us thousands of dollars in legal fees. Our Account Manager got back to me very promptly with very detailed explanations of my questions.
- Vendor and 1099 Management - Cuts down on booking keeping and keeps all payment records ion one place with great visibility.
- Healthcare plans - very easy to understand with a very good selection of choices in all price ranges. Benefits such as gym memberships, commuter benefits, FSA, etc are easily managed.
- New employee on-boarding time has been dramatically reduced with Justworks simple system
- A mobile app would be nice to see high level information when traveling and on the go.
- Managing employee expenses would be a great feature that they do not currently offer. Collecting reports, receipts, etc.

Boomr is the Best!
It is being used by our part time employees to track their timesheets and hours worked!
Boomr is being used across my entire organization. It is used as a timesheet system and helps coordinate hourly employees and their pay.
- The Boomr app is simple, with no frills, and is easy to use.
- Boomr lays out expected pay according to your hourly rate, which helps visualize your efforts over your weeks worked.
- The Boomr Help Center is useful and provides effective information.
- I think setting different default hours or presets would be helpful for Boomr to be more quickly used.
- Setting times across multiple days would also be helpful.
- More options to navigate past time periods/visualize work periods would be nice as well.
Boomr is used across the whole organization for time-keeping and tracking shifts weekly. In general, it addresses the need for a payroll administrator to edit shifts remotely, for example if an employee forgets to clock out. Shifts are always initiated by the user and can edited by the user when appropriate.
- Boomr tracks daily work hours and weekly totals automatically. The system sends weekly email reminders of the work week ending and digests of the previous week's hours worked.
- The interface is intuitive and easy to use and understand. Open the mobile app, select your location and click "Track time." The app also tracks break times, and shifts can be edited afterward.
- Boomr makes it easy for the payroll department to gather payroll information at the end of a week.
- One area for improvement is the ability to access an active shift on multiple mobile devices. Currently, if you clock in on one device and try to clock out on another, the system gets confused and the shift will not end properly.
- Pay rate information does not appear to update in the system when pay raises are awarded.
- Something I'd like to see added is the ability to program future shift schedules and work reminders for employees. Would be an added bonus to an already highly functional app.
- Finally, I'd like to see a reminder of when employees are approaching overtime hours, like an integrated countdown clock.

Boomr is boomin!
When I was using Boomr, the entire staff used it as well. The potential problems it solves are environmental, first and foremost. Boomr also makes it to where you always have your time clock with you.
- Boomr saves paper.
- Boomr saves time.
- Boomr has never let me down because of network outages.
- The error bird message that pops up once in a while (does not affect functionality).
- The app design could be more colorful.

Boomr is Boomin'
Our company utilizes Boomr to clock in and out, track breaks and time spent working, etc. Employees clock in and out on a daily basis and Boomr tracks not only their times but also locations. We have utilized the option to restrict how far away our employees can clock in, to avoid clocking in from anywhere, as it is run through a mobile app.
- Boomr has plenty of options that make it easy to customize how we want our time tracking system to operate. You can allow people to manually enter shifts, or deny the ability. You can allow people to clock in from anywhere or create a parameter from a specific location.
- The ability to manually edit shifts is always very nice.
- Boomr's CEO and support staff are always easy to work with and very open to suggestions. They take great pride and care of their clients.
- Being able to clock in and out from a computer would make things easier, to help avoid instances where employees can clock in and out without being at their work stations.
- Sometimes some random glitches happen, but honestly nothing bad enough to actually complain about.
- Honestly, boomr is a wonderful application and there isn't much lacking.

We needed a way to calculate hourly employee work. We mostly have salaried employees but were using Google Sheets for interns and a few junior employees who were hourly. This helped us keep track of hours in a compliant way and pay them accurately. The other key piece was the integration with Gusto. We had a unique use case in that not all of our employees were hourly. Their team worked with us to figure out how to implement it correctly.
- Integrations with different vendors was a huge piece for us.
- User experience is one of the best of any product I have seen. Very easy to use on both desktop and mobile
- Support was very good. They helped us with every question we had.
- We didn't hit any issues where we needed different features.

Great for most all Companies
I enjoy using Boomr. It's easy to use. A couple of features that I wish that it had are: an online portal when my phone is broken or not accessible, I work from home sometimes and I can't clock in because it is too far from the home office, and I wish that it had an edit feature to alert HR to edit the clock ins directly on the app.
- Ease of use
- Convenient
- Like that you have to be near the office
- Online feature to clock in
- Edit clock in on the app

More bang for your buck
Boomr is being used across our company. We have two work sites, one in Orlando, Florida and the other in Nashville, Tennessee. We use Boomr in both offices in order to keep an accurate time log across the board and allow one employee to manage payroll for both offices instead of spread that workload across different employee's workflows, processes and preferences when dealing with the task at hand.
Boomr has made it very easy to implement a convenient system into a pre-existing company infrastructure without overturning the entire company to make it work. It's quick, easy, affordable, and most importantly, it's powerful.

- Boomr allows for two check in types. One check in from a mobile device, or a check in from your company's stationary device. The mobile device check in, is particularly helpful to those who need to track check in for employees who work away from management. It won't allow the employee to check in for work until they are within a specified distance of the assigned address. This ensures that employees are only running the clock if they're actually physically at work.
- Boomr allows for a very accurate reading of time logs. Between checking in, taking a break and checking out, Boomr makes a very precise calculation for the check size required when paying employees. Because it's so precise, Boomr is effectively allowing companies to manage their payroll to the second, which (with enough employees) could make a difference of thousands of dollars once payroll comes around.
- Boomr currently makes it a little difficult for the employee to track time spent on the job. Boomr currently has a feature that will allow you to see your time log on a particular day and see what that translates into dollar wise, however, being able to indicate when your pay days are and including a feature for multi-day calculation would be extremely helpful for hourly employees to manage and keep track of how much they have made to date on their next paycheck.

Boomr provides peace of mind
My company has 5 employees. I'm the only employee that was not a founder of the company and I use Boomr to track my time since I work remotely. It takes a lot of pressure off of working remotely and logging my time because it makes my times available to my employer and to me for transparency. It also keeps up with how much I am being paid for each shift.
- Provides information on how much I'm getting paid for each shift
- Makes time records available to me for later reference
- Automatically makes time records available for my employer
- Must have GPS coordinates confirmed to check in
- Does not allow edits to shifts by either me or my employer for incidents like forgetting to check out
- Does not display a new week's shift until a second shift is logged

Boomr is the best solution
Boomr is being used by my entire team. We use it to keep track of hours, for tracking PTO, and more. As far as problems it's solved, we are now able to go in and closely monitor hours and resolve discrepancies quickly. Boomr is a very powerful tool in this regard.
- Quick check-ins.
- Easy to monitor time clock.
- Ease of use for employees.
- Sometimes Boomr will have errors with checking in.
- It would be nice to have location based reminders to check in.
- It would be nice to have pop up alerts for when it detects if people haven't clocked out.
June 14, 2016
Simple and Easy to Use
The whole company is using Boomr. It creates a simple and easy way to clock in when arriving at work. The mobile app makes it possible to clock in right when you pull up to the office. No need to log into another site to clock in when you get to your desk.
- Easy to use. It takes a couple easy touches on your screen and you are clocked in.
- If you forget to clock out when you leave, you can do it while stopped at a light or when you get home.
- Clock in before you even get to your desk. Time efficient.
- Easily see how long you have been clocked in and how long your break is without even being in the office.
