About Buddy Punch

Buddy Punch is a cloud-based time clock solution suitable for businesses of all sizes. Key features include overtime calculating, GPS tracking, PTO accrual, time card approval and job costing.

Managers can view and edit information on employees assigned to them and approve time cards and PTO requests.

Buddy -punch gives us the value we seek.

Pros

Intuitive ,and a much cheaper option than Toggle which we have tried in the past ,and they completely avoided the per user billing system,which I find very ridiculous.
Buddy-punch provides my team with an easy to use clock based punch in/punch out time management application, which didn't require a fingerprint scanner and still works. Buddy-punch has generally given us value for our money.

Cons

Anytime our employees have failed to sign in , they get multiple email notifications which some have found to be very pestering.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thank you Ifeoma for the review! I appreciate the 10/10 rating and it's great to hear that we're giving you great value! You are correct, we do not have per user pricing, so you do not have to be concerned with thinking about increased costs when you add a new user. We appreciate your business!

You put the Punch in Buddy

Pros

The ease of clocking in and out, where ever I may need to punch in. I like that employees are able to make an adjustment to their time and then it gets approved by manager. Which is much easier than having to make punches and delete punches.

Cons

I do not have anything negative to write about Buddy Punch

Response from Buddy Punch

Stacey, it's great to hear that the flexibility and ease of use of Buddy Punch are meeting your needs so well. We're especially pleased that the time adjustment and approval process is streamlining your experience. Your positive feedback and continued trust in our solution is much appreciated!

As an owner, I don't have any problems with Buddy Punch, but my employees have several...

Pros

It makes it easy for me to view and edit time cards as needed. I also like how I can create different categories for employees to clock in under.

Cons

My employees have a terrible time with Buddy Punch. The app does not work on a couple of their phones. When they do punch in on the computer, the buttons don't function like they're supposed to. For instance, they try to punch in and edit time, but it just punches them in and doesn't allow them to edit their time. It has also automatically punched an employee out five minutes after punching in (they did not punch out).

Response from Buddy Punch

Hello Sean, I'm glad that we've been easy for you to use. I'm sorry to hear that your employees are having problems but thank you for the feedback. We have 2 features that will automatically punch an employee out. We can split shifts at midnight, which keeps time within each day, and we have a maximum hour in a shift. This will automatically punch an employee out as well. Sorry for any confusion on these features. We appreciate your business.

Buddy Punch is a helpful tool in the time keeping system.

My experience has been good.

Pros

For people who are computer literate it is very user friendly.

Cons

If an employee punches in an incorrect time or date, they cannot change it themselves.If an employee is computer illiterate, they have more problems handling the program.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thank you Dawn for the review, it is great to hear that your experience has been good and your users have found us user-friendly. We do have the option to enable editing for employees, which can involve an approval process. This way employees can request edits if they make a mistake. We will reach out with further information, thanks again!

The best time tracker for employees

So far, I’m enjoying it!

Pros

It is very feasible and easy to use. As an employee, I can easily check my attendance sheet. It does need for me to click other features to be able to access it.

Cons

The design is not that appealing. Aside from it, I think other productive reports should be added.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you're finding Buddy Punch feasible and user-friendly, Jonel John. Your input on the design and report features is incredibly valuable to us. We're always looking for ways to enhance our service, and we'll take your suggestions into consideration. Thanks again!
