David W
Senior Pastor
5.0

David: My name is David. I'm the senior pastor of the church. And we would give TimeClock Plus a five. Our church has about 20 or 25 employees that punch a time clock. And we literally switched from a manual time clock to a software that... We needed a software that would do the job and TimeClock Plus was head and shoulders above everything that we looked at. TimeClock Plus is easy for our hourly employees to use. It gives great reports. It manages our PTO and those kinds of absences, sick days, those kinds of things. It does it pretty flawlessly and it produces reports that make it very easy for us to process payroll. That's why we went with TimeClock Plus. It did it better than anyone else we saw. The integration of TimeClock Plus was relatively simple. We were able to take our employee database and import it into TimeClock Plus, and it generated an employee number for each employee that punches a clock. We were able to just to give that number to the employee. Now, instead of punching a literal timecard, they go by one of several computers we have set up, input a number. Not only will it record their login and logout, but it'll give them statistics on what they're doing on PTO earned, on all of those things that we have to track from an HR standpoint. It's just been a very useful tool for us and for our employees. We began our journey with TimeClock Plus on a local computer, and then we've moved it online. And my biggest recommendation, if you're looking for a digital time clock, if you're looking for a databasing time clock software, you've got to consider TimeClock Plus. Look at their reports. Look at the things that they do. It's not rocket science. It's very simple and very much an intuitive software. And you will not regret giving TimeClock Plus a try.
