LightWork Time

## What is LightWork Time?

LightWork Time is a time and attendance program for companies with single or multiple locations and easily accommodates remote employees. Employee time can be entered via desktop punch, kiosk punch, biometric/swipe timeclock or mobile punch. Time can be tracked in lump sums or ranges of specific hours worked. Earning types for these hours are user definable and can be assigned types such as regular, paid time off, or sick time. Rules to identify and calculate overtime are built into the system.

Problem like payroll issues, missing vacation time. State requires both exempt and non-exempt employee to have a time keeping system and this has allowed us to meet the requirements with ease. The over package is good. The support staff has been very helpful and has responded to our needs when we had issues.

Pros

I like the feature that employees have more control over requesting time off, the supervisor are more involved in reviewing and approving their employee time cards.

Cons

The reports are hard to find what we need, and time cards printing feature doesn't show the notes that we add into the system.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Pros

LightWork took what four programs were doing and simplified them. Now training people to use our timekeeping software is really easy.

Cons

There's nothing really not to like: we're saving valuable time, training was easy, customer support has been great.

Review source
