### "Great tool for Business Owners!!!"

May 14, 2016

5.0

As a small business owner I wanted to find a tool to track my employees hours, then I came across the ClockIn Portal. I was able to sign up within minutes and the process was quite easy. My employees receive credentials by email to log into their account and to Clock In and Clock Out. The reports that ClockIn Portal provide for my business are perfect and I'm able to use them to track miles, add hours and prepare for payroll. Right after I joined, they came out with an iOS and Android app which allowed my employees to easily Clock In from their phones. I love the fact that the ClockIn Portal support team is always available to answer all of your questions. After trying several different apps, ClockIn Portal stood out because it was easy to use for my employees and the Managers loved the reporting functionality. I would definitely recommend it to other business owners looking to track their employee work hours.

### "Best choice--and i looked at a lot of software options"

May 23, 2017

5.0

makes tracking employee hours so easy. It's accurate, reliable, and affordable.

Pros

I use this on a farm and I can tabulate hours and write paychecks without having to leave the office and track down paper logins. The reports are great for reviewing seasonal hours and projecting employee budgets for the upcoming season or preparing taxes at year end. When I'm out of town, I can make sure that employees are on the job at the time we agreed upon because I can see their log in remotely. Also, I like restricting log ins to a single device (on-farm tablet) so I can be sure the clock in and clock outs are occurring in real time at the farm and not on the drive home, etc.

Cons

Not a major complaint, but the dashboard is not as intuitive as it could be. I have to fish around to remember how to find all shifts. Also, maybe a personal device issue or internet connection issue, but we have a few missed logins per month. And I don't mean employees forget to log in--but it's just not recorded on one or the other end of the day. Sometimes they end up with 23 hours of work in a day :) I can spot that and correct it easily though.

May 31, 2017

5.0

Pros

ClockIn Portal gives my employees mobile apps to track their work hours on the road without needing access to their PC, it also gives them the ability to report their mileage. My HR manager is able to generate the payroll reports she needs to input into our payroll system. ClockIn Portal gives us a web-based app that allows us to view a list of all users and to easily manage the entire process of edit requests and time sheets all online. My employees are able to clock in from their their web browser or smart phone and tracking all of their work hours has been a breeze.

### "Employee tracking for payroll purposes is simplified using clocking portal"

May 23, 2017

5.0

ease of tracking employee time for payroll purposes.

Pros

I like that employee information can be added on a limited basis including wages and address information, it is important to me that overtime can also be calculated automatically.

Cons

The limited availability of options and the difficulty in adjusting time cards for missed clock in or out and lunches for employees. Often forgets when we have clocked in or out causing the need for adjustments .

### "It's basic and to the point for a small business"

May 25, 2017

4.0

I was able to keep track of my employees with out spending too much money.

Pros

It's easy to use, both for the employer and employee. Employee is able to make change request to their time, when an error was made. It also shows you were they clocked in. This is extremely useful, when working in a manufacturing plant that doesn't allow the use of an app to clock in.

Cons

You can not get 2 weeks of regular labor hours summed and OT hours summed, per person. It has to be done weekly.

### "Both our farm hands and our office workers use this application and we have been very happy with it!"

May 26, 2017

5.0

This really streamlines our payroll process. We have farm hands and office workers and the farm hands are rarely in the office, so this helps us be able to quickly and efficiently receive and record their hours without the hassle of them needing to physically be present in the office.

Pros

Love the addition of the iPhone compatible application. Much easier to use for our manual labor-type and on the go employees to use.

Cons

The main thing we wanted was an iPhone compatible app and that has been produced, so we don't have any other complaints/wishes at this time.

May 23, 2017

5.0

Pros

Clockin Portal is a very easy application that you can install on your smartphone, I liked how you can calculate your time at work with just a click of a button, and can easily submit unpaid lunch break.

Cons

It can be better to add number of day in the sheet created by the application, so employee can easily check how many hours they did.

### "ClockIn Portal Review"

May 26, 2016

5.0

I am a small business owner. I was basically looking around for different ways to track when my employees clock in and out. I found ClockIn where I was able to sign up in minutes and soon after I signed up, they came out with the iOS app and Android app which makes it extremely easy for my employees to clock in and out. At only $4 per month per employee, it was the best decision I could have made as it is extremely cheap. I tried out other apps, but ClockIn really stood out to me because my employees were able to use it easily and the managers love the reporting functionality.

Clockinportal is super intuitive that you would find your way through it without the need for someone to guide you through. It is a great tool for tracking team members' work time and view their status in real time. The reports we export at the end of the month help us with payroll and overtime processing. It is just a great attendance application.

### "Perfect for what it does "

June 1, 2017

5.0

Pros

It is so easy for our employees to clock in and out. There is a lunch function too. The app will remind them if they forget to clock in or out. Our admin is able to make corrections as needed.

Cons

It would be nice if we could keep track of PTO, holidays, sick days, etc with this app. Currently we have to use a separate spreadsheet for not. Not a deal breaker but it would be nice.

Hard for new people to access the software unless you use a backdoor link. Limited Functions for independent contractors, notes that employees leave are lost once an approval is made of hours.

June 7, 2017

5.0

The benefit I got from this software is it lessened battles with employees about them clocking in or out on time and it helped to ensure employees from taking unauthorized breaks.

Pros

What I liked the most about this software it is made my employees more productive because I was able to ensure everyone was where they were suppose to be and that they were working their entire shift and taking their breaks at the proper time

Cons

There was not anything I did not like about the software. I think it was great. I would not change one thing about it.

May 23, 2017

Attendance tracking was much easier now that we are using this.

Pros

Very user friendly and the UI is easy on the eyes. I also like that it was very easy to set up and affordable.

Cons

It goes down from time to time. We experienced it several times already and customer support is not easy to contact nor do they reply right away. It would also be great if they could make the lunch breaks accessible more than 4 times.

no cons, If I had to include a con I would Wish it allowed for unlimited "lunch breaks" because a nursing mama working from home sometimes needs more than 5 breaks in a work day.
