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! 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. 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! 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! Stephanos B. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Update received" October 18, 2018 5.0 Just logging in and out. We don't hand out time sheets as we work "all in". Pros It works fast and easy, self explaining for the employees – we use it with a touch screen Mac as a central time clock, so no learning necessary. Cons A bit difficult in the backend. Still lost user passwords can't be retrieved, also the interface would be nice in a german localized version. We'd like to help with this. Review Source Response from Redcort Software October 24, 2018 Hi Stephanos, thank you for reviewing your Virtual TimeClock software. I'm glad the time clock has been working so well for your team! For security reasons, the TimeClock does not store passwords in plain text, which is why they can't be revealed/retrieved. Instead passwords are stored as hashes, which keeps them secure. You can always delete or change user passwords in the User settings window. Thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate it. Happy time tracking! lS linda S. owner Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Timecard With Earth day Recycling" September 19, 2024 5.0 My experience has been great. \[sensitive content hidden\] was very helpful and walked me through all the steps and explained everything I needed to know. 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. SC Samantha C. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent and Great value " May 10, 2022 5.0 Overall our experience has been excellent. We are able to provide our team an easy way to clock in and out, track their time, view their time. It also provides our accounting office with records and reports they need. Pros I chose the Virtual Time Clock because it checked all the boxes, providing all that we needed. I was looking for a software that was easy for my team to use, and easy for them to be able to see their information. It is very easy to set up and get started, and use. Cons The software does not integrate with our accounting software, but I knew it wouldn't, there is nothing out there that will provide integration along with a job costing feature. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock Strictly based on our needs. Virtual Time Clock gives us the information we need to process payroll, and at a great one time purchase price, no subscription. Review Source Response from Redcort Software May 13, 2022 Thank you for the kind review Samantha. We are glad the software works well for your needs. If you would please send over the specifications for your payroll provider we can add them to the development list. We are always adding additional integrations based on demand. Thank you again for using Virtual TimeClock! CR Ciro R. Procurement Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Valuable Time Navigating Platform " April 17, 2024 5.0 Virtual TimeClock brings more time organization, and there are assertive measures for proficiency. Pros Virtual TimeClock delivers structured time management processes for business planning. Cons Virtual TimeClock has created a useful online time control that is flawless. Review Source Response from Redcort Software September 30, 2024 Thank you for the feedback and review Ciro. We're glad that to hear that switching to Virtual TimeClock has been a great experience for your business. VR Verified Reviewer Administrative Assistant to owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, although have had a few glitches with some of the updates." April 5, 2018 4.0 As stated earlier, being able to access my used and unused personal, vacation, and sick time easily. Pros Very reliable and accurate. Loads fairly quickly and I really like being able to access how many hours I have available for vacation, personal, and sick and also how many I have used. Cons Delayed notification of updates to software at times. Very rare, but not being able to log into the software because updates in process. Review Source Response from Redcort Software April 6, 2018 Thank you for your review and the positive feedback! In terms of the software updates, unless manually turned off, the automatic updater will check for updates whenever the program is started. There are also options to Skip This Update or Remind Me Later so those effect when you will be prompted to update again, but Virtual TimeClock will not run updates without approval from the user. Typically updates only take a minute or so and at this time, we've only released one software update for Version 18. Please get in touch if you'd like more information about software updates, we're happy to help! MG Michael G. City Manager Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "City of Wewahitchka" April 1, 2022 5.0 So far I am impressed with the Virtual TimeClock. I wish the things I mention would be added but they are not a make or break thing. I still bought the software because I thought it was good. The customer service reps are probably the best part about buying this software. They are hands down the best customer service that I have ever had to deal with and I think that goes a long way with people. Pros I like how easy it is to go back and edit entries if someone forgets to clock in or out. Cons That it does not have bi-weekly leave tracking. also that there is no offline mode in the event of loss of internet. We live in the panhandle of Florida and bad weather takes our internet out all the time. Review Source Response from Redcort Software April 5, 2022 Hello Michael, Thank you so much for the kind review. It is a pleasure working with you and your organization. JM Juliet M. Finance Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fit our needs" April 1, 2020 4.0 Overall this time clock system has made my life a lot easier with respect to our payroll. During the peak of the season when we have 130 employees all doing numerous jobs, i.e. coaching part of the day, working in the bike shop another part of the day or perhaps helping as a lift attendance. So the ability to change roles and track it through the time clock is a life saver for me! Pros The feature that was extremely important to me/us was the ability to "choose" what job function you are performing and change that function as you switch to another role during the day. We have many different "departments" within our company and we track all payroll for each department separately. This helps me to ensure that payroll dollars go against the correct area with much more accuracy than the system we used prior to this. Cons We are supposed to be able to have managers review and approve their own employee hours which is great but I have had a hard time setting this up and implementing it. Review Source Response from Redcort Software April 6, 2020 Hi Juliet! Thank you for taking a few minutes to review Virtual TimeClock, we appreciate your time. I'm glad to hear the Activity Tracking feature is working out well for the bike park staff. I will email you some information about setting up manager timecard approval. Please reach out to our technical support staff if there's anything we can do to help! www.redcort.com/contact SS Sladana S. Projects Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple and affordable solution for users, admins and management" August 4, 2023 5.0 Very positive experience in all aspects. Pros Simplicity, free trial and amazing support! Cons Haven't found any dislikes really but maybe the Entry editor could be made bit less redundant, so once we select the person to work on; we wouldn't have to go and select it again on the next window- not a big deal at all but it could be made more efficient. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock It was simple for users, admins, well supported , excellent free trial and it was very reasonably priced. Review Source Response from Redcort Software May 31, 2024 Hello Sladana! Thank you for the review. If you have any questions about navigating the Entry Editor's interface please reach out, we are always happy to help. SP Suzanne P. Pres Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Timeclock" November 12, 2021 5.0 It’s been great. This is close to 10 yrs with this software and I have no thoughts of changing. Pros I love how easy this is for my employees to use. As a manufacturer, people are spread ou and this keeps things simple. Cons I was unable to reliably get it to work with Quickbooks, however that could be an a Issue on my end. Review Source CJ Carol J. Controller Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Features" February 12, 2020 4.0 Very good, customer service team is awesome. Pros The software is very easy to use. Customer service . Cons It would be nice to get reports for TimeCard Summary that included inactive employees that had hours for that pay period. Maybe in settings get to include inactive employees. It would nice to get reports to have the choice to include hours/wages for inactive employees that had hours in that period. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock Ease of use and price Review Source Response from Redcort Software February 18, 2020 Thank you for taking a few minutes to offer your review, Carol! I'm glad to hear the software has been working well for you over the last several years. You can easily include inactivated employees in your timecard summary reports by selecting the All Users group before running the report. As long as you have wage information entered, you should also be able to see gross wages when you view reports for inactive employees. Thank you for the encouraging words - we're honored to meet a small need for your company! RS Rick S. Director of Retail Operations Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Virtual TimeClock vs Web based options" February 10, 2021 4.0 The overall experience is great, it is well worth the money Pros Simple, Straight forward & no subscription fees Cons The networking addition requires some ongoing attention due to random Microsoft updates of the server. Occasional hiccups at users computers, these are easy to fix & support is great but still it's something the admin has to deal with. Reason for choosing Virtual TimeClock We have less than 20 people & the web based options seemed expensive for what we needed. We used a much older version of this software for many years & were satisfied so the benifits of being able to allow remote workers to clock in & out/price point & familiarity made it an easy decision. Review Source Response from Redcort Software January 12, 2022 Hello Rick, Unfortunately, some windows updates do automatically close ports opened in the Windows firewall. This affects any program that uses specialized ports. It is an easy fix when this happens and please feel free to contact our support with any questions you have. We are happy to help you get the most out of your software. VR Verified Reviewer Administrative Assistant Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple to use, Simple to update" February 5, 2019 5.0 Pros I've used this software with previous employers. It is very easy to administrate the users and easy for the employees to use. I particularity like the red highlights that alert you to any potential time clock issues. The company has made the updating process much easier with the current version. You can check for updates with the click of a button. Their phone support is very responsive, very helpful. The value is excellent! Cons I have no problems with the software, and find the company thinks of improvements before I do. Review Source BM Bill M. EDM/Laser Dept Supervisor Medical Devices Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "With the network edition we are able to tie together two different facilities!" June 22, 2018 4.0 Pros We have facilities at two locations with separate time clock systems at each location. We also have employees that might work at one building one day and the other the next, or start the day in one building and end at the other. This made it a nightmare for our payroll people to patch together time cards every week. Now we have a simple solution that covers both of those problems as well as a few others. We've just purchased a license after test for a couple of weeks with one department so we are probably only using 10-20% of what this system is capable of doing and I still think it's well worth the cost. Customer support during the trial period has been awesome with quick replies to all of my questions. We are transferring a few people a week over to the new system rather than everyone at one just to minimize the potential for user errors but the employee interface is simple enough that we've had minimal issues so far. I wish I had found this product 2 years ago!! Cons My major "con" is actually a compliment....on the administrator side the system can do so much that it's a little confusing and slightly overwhelming. I'm not one to typically purchase maintenance contracts but because there is so much potential in the software I recommended we get the maintenance contract for the continued support as we explore the software and make more use of it. At the discounted first year price it was pretty much a no brainer anyways. Review Source Response from Redcort Software June 25, 2018 Thank you for the kind words, Bill! I'm glad Virtual TimeClock has simplified payroll tasks between both of your facilities. We're here for you if you need any help along the way! KM Karen M. Admin Assistant/Student Assistant Liaison Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love this product!" January 30, 2023 5.0 Pros I love that it is easy to use, easy to show our students how to use and the reporting features are easy to acess. Cons There is nothing that I don't like about this product. Review Source Response from Redcort Software April 4, 2023 Hi Karen, Thank you for your positive review about Virtual TimeClock. We are glad that you are enjoying your time using it. If there is anything we can do to improve our software, please let us know! FK Frank K. Owner Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" January 15, 2020 5.0 Employee timekeeping. It is much more flexible than a punch card system. Pros We use the product for employee timekeeping. The ease of use for the employees and the administrator is excellent. Cons Not able to work in the current period until the prior period is closed. Review Source Response from Redcort Software January 16, 2020 Hi Frank! Thank you for taking the time to review Virtual TimeClock, we appreciate it. I'm glad to hear our time tracking software has been working so well for you over the years. It sounds like maybe there's some confusion about payroll periods - you should have no problem working in the current period without closing the prior period. In fact, some of our users have never closed a period ever, it's just a little inconvenient to change the report dates regularly. I'll reach out in person to make sure you know how that works. Thanks again! MP MaryAnn P. Bookkeeper/Nurse Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Virtual TimeClock is great for our office staff." July 17, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use for employees and bookkeepers. Time sheets are easy to read. It is easy for the employees to hit one button to clock in and then one to clock out. It's that simple. Cons It doesn't always add the final time correctly. It will can be a penny either way off. I know it isn't a big deal but when you are adding up the time, you will see you are off a penny here and there. Review Source Response from Redcort Software July 19, 2018 Thank you for the review and encouragement, MaryAnn, we really appreciate it! I'm glad the software has been easy for your staff and bookkeepers. I want to assure you that the totals in Virtual TimeClock are completely accurate. We occasionally talk to a user who is adding up decimal hour subtotals and will be confused on the totals, which sounds like it may be what you're doing. Please take a look at this knowledge base article that explains how hours are totaled: www.redcort.com/virtual-timeclock-knowledge-base/features/time-calculations/accuracy-report-totals Thanks again!
