“I’ve also had an instance where one of my shifts was mistakenly counted as an unpaid break, which required correction. While the system is generally helpful, these occasional glitches can be a bit frustrating when trying to accurately log work hours.“

“I have yet to encounter any issues. If I had one complaint, I'd like my time sheet to show hours worked in hours and minutes rather than numbers and decimals, as it takes a little math to figure out how many more minutes I need to work if I worked "7.23" hours yesterday. But that's really an minor inconvenience.“

### "Easy and reasonably priced"

December 18, 2018

5.0

Using Quickbooks with the time clock information makes payroll take a couple of minutes, allowing me to get done quickly and correctly. Employees like the ease of use, so they actually clock in and out! The cost of the program has risen, but still well worth the time savings.

Pros

As an employer I wanted an easy to use time clock. This is and has been such an easy set up and managed program I could not recommend it more highly. The ability to assign managers for other employees has made my payroll day so much easier, which is a big time saver, making payroll a breeze.

Cons

Printing options. There is not a smooth way to print audit logs. Having that additional report would be a great help for documentation of changes made after the fact.

### "Very good, but it could be even better."

March 12, 2026

4.0

Overall, I've had a very good experience with the platform. It's easy for anyone to understand and very intuitive for managing time effectively at work. Perhaps the UI design could be improved a bit, as it feels somewhat outdated. The page loading speed could also be fixed, but other than that, I have no problems and I think it's a very good platform.

Pros

What I like most about On the Clock is the simplicity of the platform, although time logging is often quite slow; many times it gets stuck loading without progressing until I reload the page.

Cons

What I liked least is precisely what I mentioned earlier, that many times it gets stuck loading indefinitely until the page is restarted.

### "Could be better"

February 3, 2026

2.0

I have had no choice, our employer went from Gusto to On the clock to save money. Many employees have complained about the product, but we have to work with what we have.

Pros

I personally do not care for this product. The only pro is to track hours and request time off. There are no other options available.

Cons

I had used Gusto previously and like how the app was user friendly, along with tallying hours (annually), the pto requests were easier to access and submit, and the messages in the message center do not get sent to my administrator as mentioned on website.

### "On-the-Clock from Quickbooks Online"

January 22, 2026

4.0

The folks that helped with the conversion and initial setup were fantastic and timely with their work. They communicated well and within 2 days we were active.

Pros

Converting from QuickBooks Online was a breeze. Running first payroll was flawless Contractor setup was a bit confusing, but it is great now My G/L posting is down to 4 entries instead of 12-15

Cons

Reporting is pretty limited. It works for me since I only post the weekly PR entries on Quickbooks Desktop. I have not been through a Workers Comp audit with it, but that will be in the fall. My employees don't always tell me about a missed punch, so I have to watch those numbers.

### "OnTheClock is good"

March 2, 2026

4.0

Overall, very positive experience. Easy to use and makes clocking in/out and checking my timesheet a breeze.

Pros

Very easy to use with an intuitive GUI that makes time tracking effortless. Great for teams of any size—setup takes minutes. Reliable tracking, flexible scheduling options, and solid reporting features. Highly recommended for businesses looking to streamline their time management without the learning curve.

Cons

Occasionally my sign-in screen becomes laggy. Every few days I may have to log in, then log in again for it to work

### "Perfect for WFH!"

March 13, 2026

5.0

I use it to clock in and out of work everyday, holding me accountable while I work from home, so I know my employers feel assured I'm at my desk each day .

Pros

The ease of use, simple, straightforward and effective. I really enjoyed the fact that I could use this every day!

Cons

Nothing. No Notes. It works very well. Honestly I really enjoy that I can keep track of when I'm starting and finishing work each day

### "I like it, no big issues"

March 10, 2026

5.0

Been good. No real issues other than the lagging but again that doesn't happen often. I like it better than other apps I have used.

Pros

The ease of the apps use. It was very easy for me to navigate. I also like it uses GPS so if I forgot to clock if I remember when I get to my car, I can still clock out.

Cons

Sometimes it is slow upload the punch clock. This makes it difficult to beat the clock sometimes but it doesn't happen often

### "Ease of use "

March 20, 2026

5.0

It’s been very straight forward to figure out and I like that I can check my hours easily on the timesheet and see when my pay window is near.

Pros

It’s very easy to use as a new member of my staff and I haven’t required any training to figure it out. It’s a great way for me to record my hours and not loose track.

Cons

Sometimes the web page takes a while to load. I have to press multiple times to go to the time sheet.

### "New favorite clock in service"

April 20, 2026

4.0

Over all my experience has been amazing. Super easy to use convenient to have it on my phone and anything I have an issue with the kids fixed right away.

Pros

I like the convenience of clocking in and the fact that if I have any issues Customer service is just a email away. Every time. I have any questions they’re there to answer them fast and easy.

Cons

Sometimes when I’m clocking and it doesn’t calculate my punches correctly, but there’s also the pro being able to adjust times and anytime I bring it up to customer service. They get right to it to figuring out the issue.

### "Great Time Keeping Software"

September 8, 2025

5.0

We have been using this software for about 4 years or more. It has worked very well and helps us keep track of hours worked. The GPS functions are so important to us. I would recommend this software to any company, especially one that has staff out in the field each day.

Pros

It is a very easy to use software. Adding new employees is seamless and easy. The staff does not need to be "trained" on how to use this app because it is very straight forward. I also like that we can customize what day our week starts on. We utilize the GPS tracking. This is so helpful! Every employee has to have location on when clocking in and out. This way we can see that the employee is clocking in while at the office and clocking out at the correct client's home. New employees are sent an email and text invite so they can get into the app before they even start the first day! This is a big help! The software is extremely affordable which is huge for a small business like us. It helps make payroll seamless. It is nice that we can add notes to keep track of manual clock ins, and which manager was tasked to update this.

Cons

There have been a few times that the app will go down on the staff or it will not load so they are not able to clock out. This might be more of a cell service issue than the OnTheClock software.

October 22, 2025

USER FRIENDLY, EASY TO USE. SIMPLE APP THAT CAN BE USED ON A PC, IPAD, OR CELL PHONE. LIKE THE FACT IT PROVIDES A SUMMARY FOR EACH WEEK.

Pros

EASY TO USE. CAN USE THE APP ANYWHERE AND IT ALLOWS ME TO CHECK THE LOCATION OF EMPLOYEES OVER THE ROAD.

Cons

SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT RECORD PUNCH WHEN IT SAYS PUNCHED IN AND KEPT ME ON THE CLOCK ALL DAY, OTHER THAN THAT NO ISSUES.

### "Reliable and User-Friendly Time Tracking"

July 24, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with OnTheClock has been positive. It's a dependable platform with solid core features, helpful email notifications, and responsive customer support. While there’s room for improvement in a few areas, it has streamlined our time tracking and simplified our payroll process significantly.

Pros

What I liked most about OnTheClock was how easy it was to set up and use—for both administrators and employees. The learning curve was minimal, making onboarding smooth and quick. Time tracking is accurate and reliable, and features like GPS verification and PTO tracking make managing employees’ hours much easier. The system also provides great value for money, especially for small businesses, offering powerful tools at an affordable price. I also appreciated the security features, like IP restrictions and login tracking.

Cons

However, what I liked least was the mobile app's occasional glitches—it sometimes fails to register punches on the first try, which can be frustrating for remote workers. The scheduling tool is functional but could use more flexibility and options for more complex shift structures

### "SO EASY A 3RD GRADER CAN USE IT........"

December 15, 2025

5.0

The OnTheClock app has never gave me any problems. I would definitely recommend the app. I forgot to mention that the app is completely FREE in your app store on your phone. I like the security they have set up within the app is on point.

Pros

I love that it is a very easy app to use. It does not use up to much space in your phone. It didn't cause my phone to caught any bugs that's always a plus.

Cons

I honestly don't have any cons about the app. It is a pretty good app to me. I love to you use it. I feel like a 3rd grader would be able to use this app with no problems.

### "Make time adjustments more user friendly."

August 25, 2025

4.0

Mostly positive, I just wish it was easier to make time adjustments, for the previous day. It is very accurate.

Pros

For the most part I like everything about OnTheClock. I appreciate the Weick reference tab of Whos In.

Cons

My only complaint is when an employee forgets to clock out at the end, it isn't very user friendly to get it clocked out on the correct day. I think it would be simpler if we could just enter the day instead of using that toggle for after midnight. It can be confusing, especially for people new to using the software.

### "On the Clock: An Easy to Learn, Efficient Time-Tracking Tool"

September 26, 2025

5.0

Pros

It is easy to pick up how the app works. I was clocking in and out comfortably after just a few days, as well as checking on my timecards once I understood where to find them. Being able to see my hours very quickly and clearly added up on the home screen allowed me to estimate my pay ahead of time without having to add them up myself. I also like that you have to click twice to actually clock in and out because it prevents accidentally clocking in when I'm going in to check something else.

Cons

I found the timecard grouped listings confusing at times and wish there was a way I could see them laid out in a continuous stream without solely having the weekly view setting. This may be due to me not having found the appropriate setting yet, though.

November 24, 2025

Very helpful for me to keep track of hours and mileage. I can go back and see what was entered so I can compare to my other mileage program to make sure it's accurate.

Pros

I am able to not only keep track of my hours but also my mileage! It is so useful for me to be able to track my miles each day.

Cons

I wish I could adjust the time myself, as I have forgotten to punch out. I realize this may be my company's settings, but I hate contacting HR to adjust my timeclock

9/10. I do enjoy using this app. Its pretty user friendly and easy to navigate for 1st time users. Its also easy to see the time clock.

Pros

How easy it is to see you weekly time card. Its very easy to clock in and out as well. I also like how you can see all your past pay stubs easily.

Cons

My punches seem to glitch a not and not go through sometimes. Sometimes when clocking out for the day it says i clocked out but when I review my time card every week one or two punches didn't seem to stick.

### "Works Mostly as it Should"

February 18, 2026

4.0

Overall, this has been a pretty positive experience. The app works as it should, and any errors have been user errors (like forgetting to clock back in).

Pros

I love that there is both an app and a website so I can get the most accurate punches. I also really like that I can see my hours and my accruing time off. It's really simple to use, too.

Cons

I don't think the location services are the best that they can be. It often thinks I am just a few hundred feet or so from where I am (which isn't a huge deal because my company isn't strict on that).

Super simple, easy to learn and easy to use. Straightforward from the employee's perspective. Can't complain!

Pros

Super easy to use! I haven't experienced any issues of bugs. So far, so good with using OnTheClock to track my hours.

Cons

I have yet to encounter any issues. If I had one complaint, I'd like my time sheet to show hours worked in hours and minutes rather than numbers and decimals, as it takes a little math to figure out how many more minutes I need to work if I worked "7.23" hours yesterday. But that's really an minor inconvenience.

5.0

My overall experience with OnTheClock was great. It was a fast, easy, and reliable app to track my hours and get paid!

Pros

I liked OnTheClock because of how easy the app is to navigate, track my hours, and locate my past time cards.

Cons

The thing I liked the least is that there’s 2 tabs that lead to punching in / out, this made me a bit confused at first if I was punched in or not.

Was very easy to login and it's very fast and straight to the point. I really like that I can see my hours right away.

Pros

OnTheClock is very easy to use, I instantly was able to understand what to do, It took no time to set up. As soon as I pull up the web page I clock in and out within seconds

Cons

I did not have one thing that I disliked about OnTheClock. Like I said it is very userfriendly and suggest all businesses use this.

### "I Love it!"

November 28, 2025

5.0

It is a convenient app to track not only my hours, but that of the staff. It's so much better than punching a standard clock.

Pros

It is super easy to navigate! When I need to make manual changes, which often happens when managing people, it is super simple.

Cons

I haven't found a single thing yet that I do not like. A cool recommendation might be to add a reminder for users Mon - Fri, "did you punch in?" or Don't forget to punch out!" if there is an algorithm imbedded to track typical patterns for individuals.
