### "Provides what I need to track hours efficiently."

### "First time using Buddy Punch"

October 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

We loved everything about the product - easy use, varied and useful reporting, flexibility with subscription, responsive customer service... We used the product to track camp counselor hours who are in the woods all day. Buddy Punch was great - we will use again next summer!

Cons

I didn't know there was a way to track unpaid vacation time - Buddy Punch people will help me implement next year - but this was a very small con.

Thank you Theresa for the review! Yes we now offer unpaid and paid vacation tracking. See you again next year!

We love the software. I wish there was an app for it for apple and android. Also wish price was slightly lower for smaller businesses. Definitely makes clocking in/out less daunting.

February 3, 2016

5.0

We have been using Buddy Punch for 5 months and it has been awesome! We are a small business with 15 hourly employees using Buddy Punch, working out of 4 separate branches. The implementation of this system to was so easy and our employees caught on right away. The few questions I have emailed Buddy Punch haven gotten responses in a very timely manner. The reports are useful, the interface simple, the data collected has saved our company money. I would highly recommend!

### "Simple and straight forward. Does everything I want and need without extra frills."

June 26, 2017

4.0

It saves me time and is simple.

Pros

It's simple and fast for my employees. I evaluated other software that was clunky and complex and did a million things that I didn't need. Buddy punch allows employees to quickly clock in and makes it easy for me to manage their punches.

Cons

Editing punches isn't very intuitive. When an employee misses a punch, the screen where I enter the correct times and date is difficult to use.

Response from Buddy Punch

June 27, 2017

Thank you Jacob for the review! I'm glad that you find Buddy Punch simple and straight forward. Also thank you for the feedback on the time editing screen, we have made an improvement to it so you have an "approve" or "deny" button so it is hopefully very clear on what change you are making. Thanks for your business.

### "Overall it has made tracking of employees hours easier than physical timecards. "

February 3, 2016

3.0

As I stated above, it has helped in keep track of employees time. Especially our warehouse staff that are paid on an hourly rate. The only cons to this system is the reporting. It is not made to run a report per employee and the reports that it does have does not include any notes put by managers. I feel it is a good system but definitely need improvement on reporting.

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

February 7, 2016

Thanks for the review Hazel. We appreciate your honest feedback. We have several reports available, including an In/Out Activity Report that does show notes that employees have entered. I'm glad it has made things easier for you. We're happy to have you as a customer.

I like that we can easily set our time off and update our sick time.

### "We're happy we switched to Buddy Punch"

May 18, 2016

5.0

We previously used a competitor that had very slow to respond customer service, complicated procedures and a nonintuitive interface. Making a switch to Buddy Punch was incredibly seamless and our employees have all reported having an easier time both clocking in and out and making adjustment to their time punches. Pulling reports for payroll has also been easy.

February 2, 2016

5.0

Buddy Punch is an easy to navigate, affordable time card solution for our employees and managers to use. There is nothing to install and runs on the web which makes it easy to use. For a small businesses like ours, Buddy Punch is effective at allowing employees to easily clock in and out and also provides managers visibility to oversee the process from their own PCs or mobile devices. It has also helped payroll become a breeze! We would recommend Buddy Punch to any small business that wants to save time!

### "Easy Enough"

December 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

This is one of the easiest ways we have ever ran payroll! Buddy Punch calculates all the hours for you, so you just implement it into running payroll with your service provider. It was very convenient to use.

Cons

While this program is easy to use, the price point is not something that I feel is fair. They are not a payroll company, which most companies do offer at a lower or the same price point.

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

December 19, 2018

Thank you Taylor for the review, it is great to hear that you are finding us easy to use. Our lowest price point is $26 per month which includes unlimited administrators and 9 employees, as well as all of our features. Perhaps you thought we charged a per user fee? Sorry for any confusion. Thanks again for the review!

I just wish it was easier to set up for automatic login with computers. I also think it would be great if they could request PTO days in advance through the system... That would be huge.

Thank you for your review Megan. Glad that you love Buddy Punch! We appreciate your business. In regards to logging in we offer a Single Sign On solution with your Google account otherwise a username and password for each employee. We do offer PTO and generate reports on it when it is taken but we do not offer pay periods in advance at this time. Thank you for the suggestion and it is something we will consider for the future.

June 3, 2016

Implementing Buddy Punch was the best thing we did -- saves us money on improper OT calculations, provides the ability to track everyone's productivity easier than before and is just overall a better use of time and technology. I would highly recommend to anyone - the time and money you will save will more than offset the small fee. As for customer service, response time is great and they are always available to assist and answer questions!

September 16, 2015

Vacation and PTO are one and the same. You can't set beginning accrual dates. You can't set things like initial allowed PTO and separate accrual rates for Vacation/PTO. Also didn't see a way to give the receptionist access to the In/Out board without giving her access to other things she shouldn't have.

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

September 22, 2015

Sorry for the confusion, Buddy Punch does not offer PTO accruals. Vacation is classified as a type of paid time off. We do have a manager feature with view only access if you would like an employee to be able to see the dashboard and details of other employees. Sorry for any confusion, we are happy to help!
