Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paychex Flex daily for our time keeping. The owners of the company use Paychex Flex for payroll, and tracking employees time and details. Typically works very smoothly to clock in and out. You are able to organize the system to make it work best for your personal use. The owners are able to make it so that you are unable to clock-in at home and or clock out (which can be a bit inconveniencing) but I also understand wanting limitations on these things. You can very easily open your tax information and print out, show your schedule, and request time off. It is probably the most simplified system I've ever used for clocking in and out.

Pros and Cons

Simple to the point all organized in one location.
For the most part very reliable.
1 touch and you are in your folio and you can make changes to suit your needs.

The clock in area needs some help when you punch in or out at times it doesn't take, which is frustrating.
Would be nice to have better access to clock in and out from home, I realize this is a program that is managed by the company that I work for.

Return on Investment

Extremely good tracking on this program
Able to leave the owners a note which is very helpful to keep communication
Probably has helped the owners save on people not punching in when they are not here, which is wonderful.

Usability

Extremely simple to use. Click from one area to another, shift between quickly. Minus the clock in / clock out not being efficient at times, overall a very easy program to use. Not hard to request time off, but program would benefit greatly to allow note to be a tad bigger per not enough space for request.

Likelihood to Recommend

I love the program but the app that I was told to download by owners is useless with all the blocks they have on it. It is completely rendered useless with the blocks and reminds me that I need to delete this on my phone! More options with a calendar entuned to it and maybe some color options to make things stand out. Overall a good app but has some issues with punch in punch out button (sticking)
