Accounting Manager - Payroll Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax Review" February 16, 2026 4.0 Overall, we have had relatively good experience with WorkMax, although there are some glitches that make it hard to use at times. Pros Receive time daily, have a record of he time vs paper time cards, Basic user functions are relatively simple and easy to use. Cons Clock in & Clock out do not always show up, Sometimes people struggle to clock in due to app not working, rounding feature should round daily time overall, not by punch time, Sync function causes problems at times, when there is an update app sometimes goes down and needs a work around. Switched from [FOUNDATION](https://www.capterra.com/p/2032/FOUNDATION/) Foundation mobile was phasing out and not meeting our needs. Review Source Response from Foundation Software February 20, 2026 Andrew, thank you for your detailed feedback and for being a WorkMax user for more than two years. We’re glad to hear daily time tracking and simplified user functions have been valuable for your team. We’re continuously enhancing app performance, syncing reliability and functionality based on customer input like yours. Your comments regarding clock-in visibility and rounding are appreciated and help guide future improvements. We’re committed to delivering a smoother experience and appreciate your partnership. CQ Chanel Q. Senior Solutions Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High potential, poor performance" February 24, 2026 2.0 Our experience has noticeably degraded since the Foundation Software acquisition. While the WorkMax team has great team members, we continue to experience a lack of transparency and access to critical information, which has strained the partnership. Pros The WorkMax product is straightforward and easy to learn, requiring only a short onboarding period. The clock‑in and clock‑out process is very simple and can be completed in just a few clicks. Additionally, the WorkMax mobile app syncs quickly, ensuring timely and accurate data updates. Cons We have experienced severely degraded performance on WorkMax web for several years. Each page takes an unusually long time to load, with the Insight module being particularly affected. Additionally, Custom Reports within the Insight module cannot be run for a range longer than two weeks, which creates major challenges during audits when broader reporting is required. We are also seeing ongoing issues with release management. Recent releases have been poorly timed, have introduced quality issues, and have resulted in frequent outages. These disruptions significantly impact productivity and create additional strain on our internal teams. Alternatives considered [HeavyJob](https://www.capterra.com/p/140170/HeavyJob/) Reason for choosing WorkMax Pricing and HCSS did not have a clock-in and clock-out option at the time. Switched from [ExakTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/149379/ExakTime/) To track time and productivity within the same application to improve accuracy. Review Source Response from Foundation Software February 25, 2026 Chanel, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience, as it’s not the level of performance or partnership we typically hear from customers or strive to deliver. We appreciate your comments on the strengths of the mobile app and usability. Our Customer Success team will be reaching out directly to better understand your concerns and continue strengthening communication and overall experience. JK Jason K. VP Finance Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WorkMax saves time and money while improving accuracy." March 2, 2026 5.0 Overall our experience has been very positive. it has cut down on payroll processing and eliminated errors. WorkMax has also created substantial saving for the company be minimizing buddy punching and helping to verify who is actually on site. Pros The user interface has allowed our field personal to adapt to the platform quickly. The GPS location is accurate and allows supervisors to see where employees are when the clock in and out. Cons For some there was a learning curve plus some syncing issues with keeping job numbers and cost codes up to date. Review Source Response from Foundation Software March 3, 2026 Jason, thank you for the review! We’re thrilled WorkMax is improving accuracy, reducing payroll processing time and delivering measurable savings for your team. We appreciate your partnership. MH Megan H. Payroll Clerk Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workmax Review" December 8, 2025 4.0 Overall, the experience has been a positive experience. There will always be a learning curve when using a new product, but it wasn't too steep and has been easily managed. Pros Workmax is very user friendly, both in the field and office. It can be a daunting transition after using paper timecards, but once the program is learned it is a breeze. It helps in the day-to-day management of employees and manpower with location easily accessed. Cons There have been issues with employee's apps not syncing properly. The app doesn't seem to like to run in the background for some individuals, crashing frequently if it isn't closed out entirely. From an office perspective, it gets troublesome when people are using the clock in feature as well as getting time turned in on a digital timesheet by a foreman due to switching jobsites. If the time overlaps, the app will override one. There have been complaints about the inability to go back and look at time with daily timesheets once it is submitted. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 9, 2025 Megan, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear WorkMax has made the transition from paper timecards easier and supports both your field and office workflows. We also appreciate you outlining the challenges you’ve encountered with syncing, overlapping time entries and reviewing daily timesheets. Feedback like this helps guide our ongoing improvements. We’re grateful you’ve had a positive overall experience and appreciate you choosing WorkMax to support your team. CH Cyndi H. Asst Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax works for us" January 9, 2026 4.0 They respond quickly when there is an issue, plue they keep you informed when there is an update or an outage. Pros It is easy to use for all our shop employees. It offers the option for geofencing for individual employees and it integrates with Foundation software which is key. Cons WorkMax does not offer clock in & out options for PTO, which makes it more time consuming when check employee time. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) We switched to Foundation & this integrated well Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 12, 2026 Thanks, Cyndi! We’re glad WorkMax is easy for your team to use and that the Foundation integration and responsive support are working well for you. BH Brenda H. Asst. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax Works!" December 8, 2025 5.0 WorkMax has always been easy to work with and the customer service is great. We have had WorkMax for years and they have always been very helpful with any adjustments that need to be made for it work with our system. Pros Ease of use for the field employees to enter their time. The app on their phone makes it helpful when needed. Cons Employees forget to enter their time but that is not the software's fault unless there could be some sort of reminder set up? Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 10, 2025 Thank you, Brenda!

Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Make the switch to Workmax!" June 19, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience has been great! We have been with Workmax for quite a few years now and have seen the innovations they have come out with! Great job guys. Pros Workmax is so easy for our guys to use. We used to use paper timecards, and it was tedious entering all of the information into our system. Workmax speaks with our accounting software no problem and is uploaded seamlessly. We have had help creating coding to follow certain guidelines of what information we want Workmax to pull for us. Being in construction, we have many cost codes in a project and ensuring the correct data is pulled over is huge! Also setting up permissions is fantastic, we can have projects pulled over into Workmax and allow the guys permission to see them when we start the project rather than having them see everything we see, they see what we need them to see. You can set up multiple departments and have their permissions unique to that department. You can also set up geofences to ensure your crews are clocking in on site. There are so many more features, I would highly recommend Workmax. We haven't had many issues using the software and when we did encounter a problem, the support team was there to help and walk us through! Cons The only thing I can say here is that Workmax used to have a chat feature that was very handy when you needed to ask a quick question. That has since been taken away, it would be nice to see that come back! But again, the support team is great at getting back to you. Review Source Response from Foundation Software June 20, 2025 Wow—thank you so much for this thoughtful review, Nikki! We love hearing how WorkMax is streamlining time tracking, syncing cleanly with your accounting software, and giving you control through permissions and geofences. Feedback like yours is what drives our team forward. We’ve also noted your request about the chat feature—we’ll share it with our support team. We’re so glad to have you on board! CF Cindy F. Director, Human Resources Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WorkMax Time & Attendance" March 2, 2026 4.0 My over all experience has been okay with the WorkMax. I have worked on larger time and attendance systems, so I have used more robust systems. There have been many positive enhancements, hopefully they will continue to introduce more functionality to the system so it will become a more robust T&T system Pros The system is easy to log into and move around in. I like that you can log in from your phone or tablet. Cons The system can be cumbersome when you have a lot of jobs. This causes the employee to scroll sometimes endlessly to find the job number they need. I wish the system would come out with an automatic percentage allocation feature, hopefully this will be a feature for future enhancements Review Source Response from Foundation Software March 3, 2026 Cindy, thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you’ve found the system accessible across devices. We appreciate your input on job selection and allocation features, as ongoing enhancements remain a key focus for our team. aO allie O. Accounting Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax Review" December 10, 2025 4.0 So far so good. We have a lot of turnover sometimes and workmax has worked well making sure all employees are able to be clocked in. I feel like it has a lot of features we don't use. We need to utilize it more. Pros WorkMax is easy to follow. Our Project Management team and field team do not have any problems using it. Cons Sometimes it lags or the connection is down. I personally dont like that the pin number is the last four of someones social. I know it can be changed, its just automatically that for our company though. Sometimes we have duplicates and that can get messy. It is easy to just go in and change though. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 11, 2025 Thank you, Allie! We’re happy to hear WorkMax has been easy for both your project management and field teams to use, especially with frequent onboarding. We appreciate your notes on connection issues and PIN preferences—your feedback helps guide future improvements. It’s great to know WorkMax continues to support your team’s time tracking needs.

February 24, 2026 4.0 WorkMax has improved our mobile timekeeping in the field. The flexibility of creating forms is great. Required clock out safety questions and required sign off of time is fantastic! It is very easy to connect WorkMax to our Foundation software for weekly payroll. Pros WorkMax has improved our mobile timekeeping in the field. Our overall process has improved through the WorkMax capabilities Cons The initial WorkMax program onboarding and employee training were quite a time commitment and painful process. Review Source Response from Foundation Software February 25, 2026 Melissa, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad WorkMax is improving your field timekeeping and integrating smoothly with FOUNDATION for payroll. We appreciate your feedback on onboarding and remain focused on making implementation as efficient as possible. PP PAULA P. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax... Why not!!!" July 29, 2025 5.0 I love it. We have move away from many paper forms to WM forms and that created an user friendly app, accountability, and easy to process time. Pros That most of my managers mistake went away with auto sync, correct GO Fence, easy to use. Being able to approve time in a timely matter made a difference and to be able to integrate Foundation with WorkMax for less manual errors. Cons That the forms are not auto sync like the time. Sometimes employees forget to sync the forms and it takes time to receive the forms when you need them the most. Review Source Response from Foundation Software July 30, 2025 Thank you, Paula!

June 18, 2025 4.0 We are overall pleased with WorkMax's ease of use and overall utility. We needed a system that can work even without a cell phone signal and this one does. Pros I like that our timeclocks refresh/sync without employees having to manually sync. The user interface is very clear and intuitive. Cons Having to hit multiple buttons including forced refresh of the webpage to save any of my changes in the Time Editor.

Vice President - Finance Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Time Software with a few hiccups." April 22, 2025 4.0 Best product we've used for timekeeping. Tech support not great and requires someone on team to have above average tech skills to manage. Pros Geofence accuracy with clock in / clock out automatic verification(with photos) make this product incredibly useful for companies with many remote locations. Cons Bugs sometimes take a while to resolve. Lots of duct-tape needed to keep devices working all the time. Alternatives considered [ComputerEase](https://www.capterra.com/p/8686/ComputerEase/)[TimeClock Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/21548/TimeClock-Plus/) Reason for choosing WorkMax Clock in with photos required.

HR Payroll Administrator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WorkMax Review" May 19, 2025 5.0 Experience is good. Great product - would recommend to anyone. Easy to learn for both employees and managers. Pros Easy to use for employees, easy to edit time when necessary for managers, notes are great, and reports are good. Cons Wish the Labor Hours Report listed incomplete time punches so we can see all hours for each employee - it only prints complete time records. We use this report weekly to see if when employees are reaching the OT threshold. Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 20, 2025 Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad to hear WorkMax has been easy for both your team and managers to use, and that the notes and reporting features are working well for you.

Very helpful and responsive staff during and after our transition. Pros Very easy to set up and the end user experience is very simple. Cons Not a lot of options to add custom fields. Alternatives considered [SmartBarrel](https://www.capterra.com/p/240070/SmartBarrel/) Reason for choosing WorkMax We needed a basic time keeping software that allowed us to have employees punching on multiple sites on multiple devices at the same time. Switched from [isolved](https://www.capterra.com/p/164417/iSolved/) We used a legacy isolved system called "Timeforce". It was no longer compatible with our payroll software.

I really appreciated the follow up call from \[sensitive content hidden\] we could give honest feedback, I can tell she truly cared and listened to any concerns and what we enjoyed. \[sensitive content hidden\] and \[sensitive content hidden\] made a great team and really took a ton of stress off of me as I was learning the process. I look forward to streamlining my payroll as I learn. Pros I really enjoyed the hands-on experience from the team. We were introduced to managers, supporting staff and our trainer from day one. Being able to communicate through Kantata was a blessing. Once I learned to use the @ before a name it worked every time. haha The Geo fence is such a great feature and the photos when clocking in and out help to hold everyone accountable. The ease of working in foundation soft with this product as made payroll errors practically disappear! It is nice to not have to edit so much. Cons The payroll report and in ability to customize or edit the PDF. Switched from [QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) we are switching from QuickBooks to the Foundation soft.
