The software team are very responsive with issues and resolutions come fast. Overall I am very pleased. Pros 1\. Ease of operation. 2.A variety of reports 3.Employee address and phone number tracking as well as salary 4. Easily backed up on a schedule. Cons I would like it to have an Iphone application that I could easily access to quickly view my staff and their in/out status. I would like it to have the functionality that I could set it up to receive alerts when someone punches in late or take a longer lunch than allotted. I do not necessarly need user end access for punching in and out-Just as an admin. Review Source Response from Redcort Software August 20, 2018 Hello Dr. Sachs and thank you for your review! Glad to hear the software has been a good fit for your team over the years. Mobile applications are still a priority for us, so thank you for being patient with us, we know many customers are excited for that feature. I know our development team has an existing feature request for notifications and alerts, so I will add your name to that request. Thanks again for the kind words! LP Larry P. Office Manager Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great change from our old time clock" October 10, 2024 5.0 It's been a pretty smooth transition from our old time clock program. I really like the fact that the support is in the same time zone as our office and not on the other side on the planet. Pros It is pretty easy to use. Only had a few questions to setup the program for our office. The lady I spoke to was incredibly helpful and nice. Our old time clock took up to thirty minutes to run a payroll report. I've not run a full report with this one, as we are still just setting it up for use by employees, but the report feature runs so much more smoothly. Cons I would like the ability to set the number of breaks as well as the length of them. Switched from [Time Clock MTS](https://www.capterra.com/p/138408/Time-Clock-MTS/) We were experiencing quite a few errors which led to the data base to become corrupted. Also, payroll reports took way too long to run. With the tech support on the other side of the world, it was difficult to communicate with them when in a time crunch, such as when payroll was the next day and errors were occurring. Review Source Response from Redcort Software December 23, 2024 Hello Larry, thank you for your review. Please reach out to our support team, and we would be more than happy to help you configure breaks and lunches in the TimeClock. PD Patricia D. owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pdickson" October 22, 2019 3.0 It is faster and more reliable than Timelot. Reports and admin tasks can be on more than one computer. Employees can see info on vacation and missed punches Pros I own my copy and do not have to pay monthly or per user fees. Cons 1\. does not interface with Quickbooks ONLINE 2. Scheduling is limited. Need to have more flexibility. We have overlapping shifts, we need to apply a schedule to each employee. 3. Need a holiday calculator based on the number of hours worked. Holiday should auto post based on the calendar of holidays. Alternatives considered [Buddy Punch](https://www.capterra.com/p/134003/Buddy-Punch/)[Time Clock Wizard](https://www.capterra.com/p/154850/Time-Clock-Wizard/) Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock Cost without per user fees Simple time clock screen for employees Review Source Response from Redcort Software November 1, 2019 Hi Patricia - thanks for stopping by to leave your feedback! We've had a lot of request to integrate with QuickBooks Online and we'd like to provide that down that road, so stay tuned. I'll reach out about your shift schedules question and holiday calculator, I'm happy to submit those requests for you. I'm glad the program has been simple for you and your employees to use. Thanks again! TC Tim C. Owner Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" August 13, 2024 4.0 Overall, this is a great product. As a customer for so long I don't remember, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a time keeping program for a small office. Other than a few minor issues, I enjoy the simplicity & ease of use. I have looked into other programs and none offer what Virtual TimeClock offers at the same price. Pros Virtual TimeClock is simple & easy to use - both for management & employees. Cons 1 - When adding multiple punches, it's time consuming to be forced to re-click each item. Meaning I have to re-click the "Stop" check box and then also select the Activity after each manual entry. 2 - Holiday hours not being broken out separately. Instead of being calculated into the Regular hours, I'd like to see them broken out into their own category. In our instance, holiday hours being paid at time & 1/2 do not count towards their overtime hours. I would like to see hours broken out as: Regular, Overtime, Holiday, Total. Alternatives considered [OnTheClock](https://www.capterra.com/p/130009/OnTheClock-com/) Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock Their pricing is ridiculously high and came with features I do not need. Review Source Response from Redcort Software August 21, 2024 Hello Tim, Thank you for your review, we appreciate your kind words. I will make sure to have our Customer Care Team reach out to you and help resolve the issues you mentioned regarding adding entries and separating out pay types in reports. Thank you for being a Virtual TimeClock customer. RH Rachelle H. Office Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for tracking hours" November 17, 2021 5.0 This is a very good program that is very affordable. It does exactly what I need it to do and the customer support is amazing. Any time I have a question I have received fast and friendly service. Pros This software is easy to use and set up. I use it for payroll as well as for specific jobs. Each job has it's own # and employees can easily switch between different jobs throughout the day. I can print out hours for each job or for each employee or for a specific timeframe. It's very easy to filter for exactly what you want. Cons After a job is complete and moved to "inactive" you cannot print a report for it unless you make it active again, it would be nice if you could choose between active, inactive or all activities. You also cannot clock back into that job just by making it active again, there are several steps to go through to allow employees to clock into it again after it has already been changed to active. It would be nice to allow only certain employees access to certain activities without making a new group for them because you can't view more than one group at at time. If I want to see all users I will get past employees as well. If I make an admin group and a tech group I can't view everyone that is clocked in, I would have to switch between groups to see everyone that's clocked in. Switched from [TimeClock Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/21548/TimeClock-Plus/) The TCP software was running off an old timeclock that had to be connected to a computer and had only one clock. This software we run on several tablets so each employee can have a clock in their location. Review Source Response from Redcort Software January 13, 2022 Hello Rachelle, Thank you so much for the favorable review. Historical data for inactive jobs or activities is visible when running an "All Entries" report. Filtering options only display active activities though we do have a feature request for filtering by inactive. Please feel free to contact our support with any questions you may have. We are happy to help. AN Angela N. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy timeclock software on Mac" July 9, 2019 4.0 Keeping track of employee's hours, managing attendance, sending messages when needed, allows staff to monitor their hours to keep OT under control, manager access to oversee payroll budget when making the schedule. Pros The system has a kiosk interface on the mac that can easily convert to an administrative screen for supervisors to run reports. The latest updates to the system allows missed punches to be added by the employee with a note stating the correction or suggestive start/stop time that was missed. Can send notes to the employees. Install is super easy. Cons They stopped developing a cloud based/mobile based version. If updating software goes too long after many updates to Mac IOS, then the system doesn't want to backup when set (doesn't work well with backing up to a remote device) or the daemon to run the timeclock service from server to client drops more frequently. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock Simple interface, setup, good customer service / support Switched from [TimeTrax PC](https://www.capterra.com/p/145790/TimeTrax-PC/) We went from Windows computers to Mac. TimeTrax works great on Windows PC, no Mac version as of 5 years ago. Review Source Response from Redcort Software July 18, 2019 Hi Angela! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and your feedback. I'm glad to hear the time clock continues to be a benefit to your company. I can assure you that mobile apps for Virtual TimeClock are still a high priority for us; thank you for being patient with us! We're not aware of any issues with scheduled backups not working after upgrading macOS - please make sure when you upgrade operating systems that your version of Virtual TimeClock is still compatible. You can view system requirements in the support tab on our website. Thanks again Angela! JN Jennifer N. Accountant Medical Devices Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Big Improvement" March 16, 2021 5.0 It was easy to setup a different version of the standard report so I had the data viewed a little differently than their standard versions provided. It was easy to setup all of the employees in the program and it's been simple to use. Pros The product was simple to setup and implement. Everyone adapted quickly to the new program. Cons I haven't encountered any issues so far. Alternatives considered [TimeClick](https://www.capterra.com/p/22877/TimeClick/) Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock I liked the features that were offered with this program more then the other program we considered. It more closely matched the style and security features we were looking for. Review Source VA Vivienne A. General Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game changer for us!" July 10, 2019 5.0 Previous software was cloud based, had issues with downloads, reporting, and just freezing up. This is quick and easy - We love it! Pros It's easy to use - very intuitive. Quick for employees. Cons I have no complaints - it works great. But this review won't go through unless I put something here. Switched from [SoftTime Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/36197/SoftTime-Online/) Because they were so expensive and the product didn't work well for us Review Source Response from Redcort Software July 11, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review your time clock, Vivienne! We're so glad you're enjoying Virtual TimeClock so far and that it's helped make your life a little easier. Thanks again! AM Amy M. Director Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good Product" March 10, 2020 5.0 Great Pros It very easy to use. Easy reports. We are using it as an attendance piece for students doing their internship. Cons Not found anything so far. Its easy to use. Alternatives considered [ClockInEasy](https://www.capterra.com/p/223151/ClockInEasy/) Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock It did what I wanted. Easy for my students to use. Easy to pull reports Review Source Robert S. Dentist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software for Small Businesses like myself." June 9, 2018 5.0 Paperless. Easy to use and great way to keep employment records. Pros Besides it being accessible from almost anywhere (we have network addition), I like the customized reports, the details such as keeping track of Paid Time Off, and the details such as that it flags people who forget to clock-out. You know those people. Cons The messaging is a good idea, except they need to figure out a way to make it interact with the administrators more. For instance, I am the boss. I don't clock in all of the time. So if some employee messages me, I won't see it for days. It would be great if they implemented SMTP(email) or SMS where you would get messages outside the system as well. Review Source Response from Redcort Software June 12, 2018 Thank you for the glowing review and kind words, Dr. Stark. We appreciate your last 10 years with Virtual TimeClock! We are absolutely working on integrating email with the messaging feature for that exact reason. I will follow up with an email to give you some additional information. Thanks again! HE Helen E. Sales Associate Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Miss Pat is an ALL STAR! Deserves a raise!" December 20, 2024 5.0 Pros The woman who helped me today on the telephone was AMAZING. She helped me navigate through re-installation, and she was concise, clear and the whole phone call and interaction only took 20 minutes! Never have I called for help somewhere and they actually help so quickly. Miss Pat you are the bomb! Review Source Response from Redcort Software December 23, 2024 Thank you for your kind review.

Will highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a Timeclock app. Pros It's very user friendly. Changes are very easy if you make a mistake. Cons I have no dislikes with the app at all. Thank you Review Source Response from Redcort Software December 23, 2024 Thank you for your review. We are always happy to hear from our satisfied customers. VR Verified Reviewer Vocalist Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Virtual TimeClock Rocks!" November 7, 2018 4.0 There are so many wonderful reports that can be created to analyze one's work force and activities assigned to each employee! There are more benefits than I realized prior to purchasing the software. Pleasantly surprised! Pros It has a detailed "time Card" printout for each week and allows the employee to sign and verify that there aren't any mistakes prior to processing payroll! Cons I run a small company that doesn't need a very complex TimeClock software, so Virtual TimeClock is the perfect fit. No complaints here! The software offers more options than we need. The only thing I wish is that I could program the software to calculate a 1/2 hour of unpaid lunch from 12pm to 12:30pm. I have found a way around this by asking the software to automatically delete 1/2 hour unpaid break after 5 hours of work. This works just fine as an alternative. Review Source Response from Redcort Software November 19, 2018 Thank you for your review and feedback! I'm glad the reporting has been a hit for your team. It sounds like you've figured out how to handle automatic lunches with the Auto Time Deduct feature. Thanks again! JG Joseph G. President Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Satisfied customer.." August 3, 2023 5.0 Pros Your gal Angie is an amazing tech support person. She has kept us on track for over 12 years!! Cons I wish that your time clock had a smart phone app so as administrator I could make changes or corrections on the fly. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock We are a franchise and you were recommended! Review Source Response from Redcort Software May 31, 2024 Hi Joseph! Thank you for the kind review. We're glad you are happy with the software. Please take a moment to contact us and we would love to hear your web and mobile needs. We are always looking for ways to improve and find ways to delight our customers. TM Timothy M. General Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time Clock Use Made Easy" August 18, 2022 5.0 It's wonderful. No complaints. Pros It's very simple to set up and works perfectly. It's nice to back on inactive employees to check their employment history as well. Cons I can't think of one negative for this software Review Source LK Laura K. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Clock Learning Curve" January 2, 2020 4.0 Fairly easy to navigate, now that I know what I'm doing. The learning curve was a little steep and I'm sure there are still features I could be utilizing that I haven't figured out yet. Customer support is always ON POINT! Very helpful. Pros Ability to look at everyone's time clock reports through the payroll feature and being able to set each payroll period. Cons We didn't know that it wasn't set up to automatically figure in overtime for any employee that was entered AFTER we set everyone one up with a customer support rep. This caused us to have an employee bring me all overtime she didn't get paid from when she started in Feb. 2019 till Oct. 2019! I looked like an idiot and she lost trust in me to correctly do payroll. Very frustrating. Switched from [Covetrus Impromed](https://www.capterra.com/p/95888/ImproMed/) Impromed was too limited on features. Review Source Response from Redcort Software January 6, 2020 Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time to review Virtual TimeClock. We appreciate your feedback! You are correct, since the software allows you to configure overtime rules on a per user basis, overtime rules are not currently auto assigned when you add a new employees. That being said, I would be happy to submit your feedback to our team, we're always looking for ways to make the software better for our users. Thanks again! GB GAYLE B. Accounts Payable Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ten years of satisfaction" July 7, 2021 5.0 We are able to track time spent on various tasks done during the day, allowing a more accurate estimating process. Employees are able to sign in and out easily, and errors are easily fixed when a punch is missed. Reports are easily obtained and detailed. Pros This software is easy to use, intuitive, and gives concise reports. Cons I preferred the 'old' way of viewing the in and out people lists on each side of the screen, and also the double click method of signing in. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock We have been using Virtual Time Clock for over ten years and are still happy with it. Review Source RY Rischel Y. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest Timeclock that runs itself" May 5, 2021 5.0 I was looking for a product that works on Mac and this does what it's supposed to and just works. Recently I switched it over to run on a PC because of some new configurations in the office and the transfer was simple and seamless. I thought I would have to look for something new but I've been very happy with this product and happy I didn't have to change. Pros This is the easiest timeclock you will use for your employees. The feature I like best is that you just set it and forget it. Employees clock themselves in and out and it calculates overtime, sick leave, PTO, and gives you straightforward easy to read reports and you can set the anniversary dates. If employees try to clock in too early for a shift or after lunch, it has an alert that tells them it's too early to clock in so they don't clock in until their start time. Cons It supposedly links up with Surepayroll but I haven't done that so there might be a step that makes that not easy to use or not easy to set up. Review Source Noemi S. Accounting Clerk Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is a user friendly program to use" March 6, 2018 5.0 Timesheets. The way the hours are already there for us to enter to payroll. There is no manual calculations. Pros The ease it is to make adjustments and modifications. Employees do not have a problem using this program. Cons If there is an error and it needs to be deleted, it takes a time to delete an entry. This is the only thing I might have an issue with Review Source Response from Redcort Software March 7, 2018 Thank you for your feedback, Noemi. We're happy to hear you're enjoying Virtual TimeClock! Deleting entries should be a speedy process, so we'll be in touch to make sure you're getting the most out of your software. Thank you! JP Jamie P. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Orthodontic Practice" August 29, 2023 5.0 Pros User friendly and in the rare times we need assistance, the customer service is exceptional! Cons Nothing. Very happy with all aspects of Virtual TimeClock. Review Source Response from Redcort Software May 31, 2024 Hello Jamie! Thank you for the stellar review. We're glad you are enjoying Virtual TimeClock. Please reach out if you have any questions! JA Jim A. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommended!!" January 7, 2022 5.0 Pros The simplicity of this software is what has attracted me to it for over 10 years… It does exactly what you need it to do… It’s easy to use… And they don’t over complicate things. Cons I wish they had a mobile version that would allow associates to clock in through their phone. Review Source Response from Redcort Software January 13, 2022 Hello Jim, thank you for submitting a review and your feedback, we appreciate it! We are working hard on our mobile apps as I type - we appreciate you being patient with us during this process. Thank you for using Virtual TimeClock! JJ Jon J. Data Services Manager Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Time Clock Software" September 5, 2019 5.0 We like it. There are a lot of time clock software programs out there. This is very good and works well. I would recommend it to anyone. Pros Really easy to use. It is capable for over 100 people. It was easy to implement. Reporting features work very well. Customization is very good as well. We have not had any user issues with this product Cons Updates. Updates. Updates. We run a tight IT department. The updates do not go very smooth as we have to manually enter admin credentials every time the service updates. Review Source Response from Redcort Software September 18, 2019 Hi Jon, thank you for reviewing your Virtual TimeClock software! I'm glad to hear the program is continuing to work well for your team. Regarding updates to the software, if your computers are configured to require passwords when installing software, it will require passwords for software updates/upgrades as well. Thanks again for your feedback! JP Joel P. Senior IT Coordinator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use, Affordable, Cheap to Implement, a Simple Timeclock Solution" October 16, 2020 5.0 I was blown away when a member of their staff answered my questions same-day about differences in software, and actually setup a phone call for the next day to discuss how to implement and work throuh hurdles. The software isn't expensive, so to have a company so focused on customer service is quite surprising. Pros We are able to sign in with a simple (or complex) pin or username/password if we want, but for our company, we can use a simple pin to sign in and out. Running reports to see what hours look like is a breeze as well. We implemented it with a cheap 10" tablet from Amazon, and with a wall mounted case, it looks professional and including software, which is a one-time purchase, we spent less than $500 on a timeclock for as many - or as few as we need to track. Cons I wish it had the ability to just send reports via an email address on a bi-weekly basis, signing in and out and into administrative mode can be a pain with a touchscreen tablet, so it would be nice to just have the hours sent to our HR for review, but clicking a few extra times is no big deal. If we get frustrated it, we contacted redcort and we can upgrade to a networked edition for signing in remotely and managing it. I wish the timeclock screen was a little "snazzier", but simple is better. Review Source Response from Redcort Software October 19, 2020 Hi Joel, Thank you so much for your kind review! Our engineering team is looking into the ability to send reports via email in upcoming releases. We'll keep you updated if that becomes available in an upcoming release. MC Matt C. Patrol Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy" February 13, 2020 4.0 Pros Fast to migrate an old database to a product upgrade Cons Product key was not sent automatically. Had to wait for the next business day and I needed it over a weekend. Not a huge deal breaker but hard to believe in this day and age that a key couldn’t be generated right after payment. Review Source Response from Redcort Software February 18, 2020 Hi Matt, thanks for your review of Virtual TimeClock! I'm glad to hear your upgrade from version 5 went smoothly - we've worked hard to make compatibility between versions a breeze for our users. I do apologize for the delay in receiving your license key, I understand what you're saying there. Currently we process licenses manually, and since our office is closed over the weekend that means we send out license keys first thing Monday morning for weekend purchases. We're working on ways to improve that process, and appreciate your feedback. Thank you! DM Daniel M. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Latest version is great!" April 4, 2021 5.0 The overal experience has been great for over 14 years now. Pros After using the old version (don't even recall which one) for many years, my old iMac G4 finally died and I was "forced" to move up to the latest. It was a great surprise. Easy to use and implement. Cleaner interface and the added reports are fantastic. Some of the old methodology remains so it keeps it somewhat familiar. I do like the means whereby if an employee clocks out the next morning (by accident because they didn't clock out after work the previous day), the system flags that entry as a possible error and allows for repair. Cons The software doesn't really have many weak points for my application.
