Ontheclock makes it absurdly easy to track time and punches.
Pros
The incredible amount of flexibility it offers is amazing. You can set or restrict punches from specific devices, regions, IP addresses, and similar on a per-employee basis or account-wide, allowing you to make sure that every employee is punching in when and were it's appropriate to do so. It allows a per-employee automatic accrue system for PTO. Approving PTO requests is a breeze as well.
Cons
In terms of end-user friendliness, it's a bit rough for non-tech-savvy folks to find the specific website they should log into and punch from - just going to ontheclock.com doesn't actually show anywhere you can log in or punch. This leads to needing to explain specific steps and URLs to users, or sending them a link to click, rather than just telling them to go to the site. It's also a bit of a hassle to reach the Group Punch site where employees can simply enter their employee number to punch in or out, and that could easily be resolved by having an application you could download to turn a desktop into a punch station.

Hi Jonathan, thank you for the great review and awesome feedback. We always like to hear how we can improve. Have a great day :)
Great Time Clock Solution
I really love the ease of use of this software and have implemented it in two other companies I work for.
Pros
We had tried various time clock machines that failed to work consistently and then I found this software and never looked back. The customer support is superior. Easy set up, super reasonable pricing and it has all the features that my company needs.
Cons
Not too long ago they did a "face lift" to the format of the website and I liked the format of the Time Card page before the face lift.
Response from OnTheClock
Hello Sue,
Thank you so much for the kind review and feedback. We truly appreciate it.
One of the best decisions we ever made was to get one the clock!
Just not having to calculate a bunch of paper time sheets is a huge benefit!!
Pros
We love that there is an app and the majority of our staff use it. There have been very few times that we've needed to call customer service but when we do, they are fantastic and responding quickly and helping us resolve the issue. We used to do paper time sheets and will NEVER go back to that after switching to on the clock.
Cons
The app sometimes has trouble with follow through if not on wifi. If we are not watching carefully, we think we've clocked out but the app didn't follow through with it. We have to wait for the little message to come up saying the clock out occurred. Also, the last time we used the PTO request feature through the app, it didn't work properly which caused trouble on the book keeping end of things. Our staff now know that if they use that feature on the app, to notify me so I can make sure it worked.

Hi Alisha,
Thank you for the feedback. Please feel free to contact us if you need any assistance in some of the troubles that you have experienced. We are here to help you and your company as much as possible.
Great company to work with! Easy to set-up. Customer support is friendly and quick to respond.
Pros
The software pretty much covers all the bases! The basic software is very user friendly for administrator, managers and employees. It's customizable in several areas as well. It's an really good value for all that you get. Last week, one of my colleagues was looking for a new online time clock service, and I recommended you!
Cons
I would like to be able to add text to the "SCHEDULE" function.
Ex. Would be nice to be able to include the text OFF on days that employees do not work. Currently, if you don't add any hours, it is just a blank space, which can be confusing.
Response from OnTheClock
Hi Robin,
Thank you for the great review and the referral! We are thankful to have customers like yourself! Thank you for the feedback regarding text in the scheduling feature. We will inform our developers about this :)

OnTheClock has been the most straight forward and cost-efficient time clock system we've worked with
Pros
Mobile access with GPS tracking, regular updates, easy-to-use interface, web-based access, and competitive pricing structure are all items that are worth of highlighting with the software. Customer Service's response to questions has usually been within just a few minutes to an hour, which is leaps ahead of any other software we've worked with.
Cons
Archiving of time cards and custom date sorts on the time card tab can be display wonky and difficult to navigate. Lack of user roles also limit the functionality from an administrator perspective. We'd love a role that allows for approving of time cards without creation of users, an ability to sort by needing approval. The PTO aspect is a nice touch, but with some more functionality in regards to exporting or preventing requesting PTO beyond max use, it would merit even more priase.
Response from OnTheClock
Thanks for the review :)
A Truly Great Tool
It has been easy to implement, the staff are prompt with their responses to my questions and best of all, the price is perfect!!!
Pros
My employees find this software perfectly easy! As the administrator, access is flawless, changes can be made easily, I can archive all previous entries, I can easily make changes to each employees details such as pay, vacation, holidays, etc. The cost, well, you just can't afford not to have this as an important tool in your office!
Cons
I do not have any 'cons' to date and I have been using this system for years!
Response from OnTheClock
What a great review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to write a detailed and kind review about our time clock system.
Have a great day,

Useful and easy to use
This is a good program for using for clocking in, especially for employees commonly working in locations other than the office. With the home health program, aides clocked in from clients' homes. The GPS feature tracks the location and they clock in with a pre-approved device. Makes it difficult for deception (difficult, but not impossible). Easy to use.
Pros
This software functions similar to other timeclock programs but also has a GPS feature that can detect the location of the employee when clocking in. Since the employee approves each device used, employees may find it hard to practice deception with this software.
Cons
The only negative aspect I can think of is when an employee has to get a new phone and the device has not yet been approved.
Response from OnTheClock
Hello Victoria,
Thank you for your great feedback and review about our time clock system.
Have a great day!
-OTC Team
Using OnTheClock has be so convenient...staff literally like clocking in!!!
EVERYTHING!
Pros
I like the overall ease of using everything about OnTheClock. Staff clock in is easier to track. I love the feature where I can separate a staff working different departments and jobs. I cannot say enough positive things about this software and while it is not perfect, it does an excellent job.
Cons
It would be nice to actually see specific hours staff worked for another department and how may hours they worked rather than having have to export that info onto an Excel spreadsheet.
Response from OnTheClock
Hello Keith,
Thank you for the review. We actually do offer a solution for specific hours worked for another department. This will be in our Project and Job Costing feature. If you would like to give us a call at 888-753-5999 we would be more than happy to help walk you through setting this up. Have a great day :)

My view of on the clock
Three words - TOP NOTCH SERVICE
Pros
It's very to sued and understand. anytime I have a question I am able to get help very fast with one phone call. It's very comforting how knowledgeable everyone who answers the phone is. It's usually something that I am doing wrong and always end the call feeling very satisfied. thanks to the entire team I appreciate you.
Cons
I do not have a problem with anything at this point. may if I start using more features then that would change.

OnTheClock is a lifesaver!
I signed up for a free trial to OnTheClock and was pleasantly surprised with how well this app works and how much control you have. When my trial was ending, I received a message from customer service stating that since I was only using the app for a single employee, they were going to let me keep the app for free without paying. The app is easy to use, easy to control and i wouldnt go to any other app!
Pros
Easy to use and control, easy to track, cheap especially for a small business under so many employees
Cons
no cons that i have found yet, been using for almost a year now and have had no issues at all for our business
Response from OnTheClock
Hello Shelby! Thank you for an amazing review about our time clock for small businesses. We are very pleased to read how much you are enjoying it!

On The clock

Pros

Testimony for On The Clock
The biggest problem I had before using On The Clock was not knowing how many hours my employees where working and it was a guessing game. Now I know exactly how much time my employees are working and everyone is much happier.
Pros
I love how I have been able to keep better track of my employees time at work and it makes doing payroll at the end of the month so much easier!
Cons
Nothing at all it has been great every time.
Response from OnTheClock
We value your testimony about our time clock system. Thank you for the kind words and feedback.
Easy to use, no issues
Pros
Easy to use, and track where they clock in which is a big help
Cons
Staff complain they have to click 2x to clock in or clock out sometimes MISTAKENLY thinking they already clocked in or out
Response from OnTheClock
Hello there,
When employees first click the punch in/out button, this takes you to the punch site. And from there they need to click punch in or punch out once they are in there to confirm. It's just a precaution to prevent accidental punch ins and punch outs. Thank you for your review and feedback.
Makes payroll a breeze!
Pros
The simplicity of the sync with quickbooks to process payroll. Ease of use for staff. Like how time cards can be printed on one page per staff.
Cons
The app seems to have bugs and staff says they clock in on their desktops. The time clock doesn't seem to sync properly for Hawaii as we don't have daylight savings time.

Pros
Great employee time options and data exporting/reporting capabilities. Excellent customer support, very quick response time and easy to work with.

I recall when first downloaded that I had an issue with the GPS employee tracking function but have not needed it since. I will re-attempt to use this function and see if issue still occurs. Other than that, I have had no issues and have no complaints with the sotware
Response from OnTheClock
Jim, Sorry you had issues with the GPS. Please let us know if you still have any problems when trying it again.
Thank you, OTC Team
Absolute time saver
Pros
How easy it is to use with Quickbooks, the ease of having the employees clock in and out with out all the paper time cards.
Cons
How it is not as accurate on where the employees clock in.
Response from OnTheClock
Hello Darrell,
Thank you for the review. Regarding the GPS accuracy of your employees clocking in and out, this isn't something that happens frequently, but we know that some Android devices should have there location refreshed before using the time clock app. This is just how some Android devices operate. Please contact us if you need additional assistance and we would love to help.
Have a great day!
-Tim

Pros
Easy to keep accurate hours for employees Easy to do payroll and account for vacation and sick days
Cons
I would like to be able to cut and paste for the day or week. Sometimes I have difficulty trying to schedule on a certain employee. The screen doesn't give the correct date
Response from OnTheClock
Thanks for the review :)
Ontheclock allows us to easily track punches across all employees and locations, even remote employees who work from home. It also ensures quick, easy, and accurate punches from employees as they don't have to spend any more than a couple of seconds to punch into the Group Punch site once it's up.
