A Mixed Review on ExakTime

We use ExakTime to manage Time Clocking for our field employees. We use the ExakTime Mobile function so each employee clocks in and out on their own device. The service had an admittedly rocky start as the employees got used to using it, but now it is a very reliable tool to know exactly when and for how long an employee worked on a given day. We are just starting using the ExakTime system for Scheduling, and it is largely helpful, with the exception of a few strange gaps in the system. As of the writing of this review there is a on hour limit on how long before a shift an employee will be notified. This is not at all helpful. The ability to send shift notifications the night before is a necessity, as many employees drive an hour or more to a site, and they need more notice than 1 hour beforehand. Another feature we would like to see added is ability to assign Locations instead of employees to a Foreman's view set. The specific employees at a site changes often, so it is not practical to assign employees daily to the view set of each foreman. It would be much more helpful for the foreman to have anyone on their Site in their view site automatically.

The Geolocation has proved immensely helpful for determining if our employees were on site when they were clocking in and out, and prevent sloppy recording of hours. It has made it far easier to manage the whole process of weekly payroll and employee time cards.
