Overview Presentation

Buddy Punch is a strong time clock software application that can be used to track employee time cards and can be accessed online through a web browser. It’s quite different from the traditional time clock programs that can be installed onto a PC. It allows your employees to track in and out every single day from their respective workstations. The best thing is that it’s easy to navigate and use for both administrators and employees.

Features, Benefits, Product Strengths

• Built-In Notifications, OT Calculations – Buddy Punch consists of built-in notifications for both managers and administrators when there is any kind of activity with the employees. You’ll be notified via email when an employee submits a request to alter something or when they automatically get punched out. The software also has many options on calculating your overtime. It supports 40 hour Work Weeks, No Overtime, California Overtime, 38 Hour Work Weeks and 44 Hour Work Weeks.
• Ability To Sign With Your Google Account and Create Multiple Locations – The program has a feature called Single Sign On or SSO that permits you to link the software with your Google account. Hence, signing in and out has been made pretty easy. It also allows you to create multiple locations based on your requirements and then assign them to your employees. As a result, when employees have to punch in, they need to choose from the location they are working from. Their time sheet will reflect this information.
• Simplicity -It does not require any exhaustive training to use Buddy Punch. Error handling has been built-in considering the fact that we are all humans and tend to make mistakes. The software fixes these errors and automatically notifies you. Furthermore, it’s intuitive and gives top priority to security. Not only will your information be encrypted, but if your device has a webcam, it can be used to take images of each punch. This way you can verify that your workers are actually present in the location and punching on their own.

It has its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois and was created out of the requirement to monitor time worked at many business locations as well as cut down the amount of time spent on computing hours and running payroll. The main concept was to trim friction and make it as simple as possible for the end user. Employees can easily punch in from a web-connected device and monitor their time online. The program has and admin dashboard that shows who’s currently working and their full-time card data.
