Employee management

Based on 183 reviews
Users find OnTheClock.com highly effective for managing employees, praising its payroll management and accurate time tracking features. They appreciate the cost efficiency and ease of use, noting that it simplifies payroll calculations and reduces time card discrepancies. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and employee access to hours make it straightforward for both administrators and employees to navigate and manage their time efficiently.

Employee clocking

Based on 183 reviews

Reviewers highlight the ease of clocking in and out with OnTheClock.com, particularly valuing the mobile app and location tracking features. They find the geofencing and web-based access convenient, allowing employees to clock in from various locations, including remote sites. The ability to clock in and out remotely is especially beneficial for teams working outside the office, ensuring accurate time tracking regardless of their location.

Pros

  • I switched to On The Clock after using a couple different apps/websites. I have loved this platform the best for its look and ease of use.

  • Love the flexibility and ease of use. The vacation approval and geo-fencing is great as well.

  • It has been easy to implement, the staff are prompt with their responses to my questions and best of all, the price is perfect.

  • Instructions and guidelines within the program are amazing to the point that I've never had to call customer support. It's a wonderful software.

Cons

  • However, the customer service was poor and very unprofessional. The individual who answered seemed put out by the call and was very short in his answers and did not expand on any of their services.

  • I also heard his dogs barking in the background which interrupted the conversation. I understand that people may still be working at home due to COVID, but I expected professionalism just the same.

  • I used to have to track down time sheets and worry I might be missing one. Now I can do payroll from anywhere I have access to a computer.

  • I think some of the toggles in the settings are confusing.

"I love how convenient this software is for my employees to use and for me to access their data."

Pros: I like the ability to limit where my employees can sign in online. This allows me to make sure remote employees are actually at work when they clock in.

Cons: I would like to make it easier to get to the basic login screen for my employees. They often have to go to the more detailed home page first.

"GPS does not always track"

Overall: Everyone I talked to is great, I will give it a try. They told me GPS is a new feature and that they will continue to roll out features for it. I just wish it was much more transparent on how the employee controls the GPS.

Pros: The interface is great on the admin side. Our employees have liked the ease of use. The cost is really reasonable as well.

Cons: The biggest drawback and why I might switch back to TSheets is that the GPS is dependent on the employee. If they close the app out it stops tracking them. It defeats the purpose of having it to prevent time theft. I am not sure why it can't continue to run in the background as that is what TSheets does. If you create geofencing it only matters for punching in and out. If they leave it does not punch them out but continues to keep their time. The GPS feature is great but if the employees have the control over it, it defeats the purpose of having it.

Reasons for Choosing OnTheClock: I have a friend that uses it which is why I am using the free trial. I really liked the interface and the ease of use for our employees.
Switched From: QuickBooks Time
Reasons for Switching to OnTheClock: The cost of OnTheClock was significantly cheaper than TSheets and it looked like the offered the same features. However, TSheets does not allow the employee to use the app unless they agree to the GPS tracking.

"Time card tracking made easy! "

Overall: I have tried other time card apps, and they seem a little clunky. This app is easy for administrators and employees to manage time cards. Especially the function that allows employees to adjust hours if needed.

Pros: What I like most about this software, is the dashboard on a laptop or computer and the mobile app is very easy to use. Payroll is 100% easier to manage with this app.

Cons: What I like most about this software, is the dashboard on a laptop or computer and the mobile app is very easy to use and navigate. Payroll is 100% easier to manage with this app.

Alternatives Considered: Square Point of Sale
Reasons for Choosing OnTheClock: We wanted a Mobile app For employees. Square does not offer that at the time.
Switched From: Square Point of Sale
Reasons for Switching to OnTheClock: App that employees could be easily trained to use, and current update their time cards if they were on deliveries Using the mobile mode.

"OnTheClock is a good software to integrate with other payroll solutions"

Pros: Integrates with Gusto (my payroll solution software) Employees can easily track their time and PTO requests

Cons: The PTO requests are not so obvious on the management side. There's no pop-up or obvious warning that lets me know someone requested PTO. I would have to be conscientious to go into the PTO section and see if anyone did.

Switched From: Gusto
Reasons for Switching to OnTheClock: Because Gusto's time tracking is not as good.
