Description
This app is for use with a paid Buddy Punch account.
Buddy Punch is an employee time tracking app that's so easy to use that your grandma could do it. With our web and mobile apps, employees can clock in and out from anywhere. Combine that with the power of geofencing, GPS tracking, and photo clock-ins, and you'll always know your employees are where they're supposed to be when they're on the clock.
MAIN FEATURES
Time Tracking: Employees can clock in and out using any internet-connected device (computer, tablet, or phone).
Flexible Punching: Employees don't need unique email addresses to use Buddy Punch. They can clock in/out using usernames and passwords, PINs, QR codes, or even facial recognition.
Automatic Calculations: All punch data is compiled into timesheets with regular hours, overtime, and pay automatically calculated for you, making running payroll faster and easier than ever.
Employee Scheduling: Create your work schedules in Buddy Punch to take advantage of even more features like attendance tracking, punch limiting, and automatic clock outs.
PTO Tracking: Automatically calculate PTO accruals, deduct used PTO from balances, and add taken PTO to timesheets so employees get paid for their paid time off.
Job Costing: Set up department codes in Buddy Punch to track the total time spent on specific jobs and projects, then run reports to help with budgeting and invoicing.
Payroll Integrations: Send your timesheet data to QuickBooks, Gusto, Paychex, SurePayroll, and more in just a few clicks to make running payroll faster than ever before.
ACCOUNTABILITY FEATURES
GPS on Punch: Capture employees' locations when they clock in and out, then review those locations on their timesheets to ensure they were on-site when they punched.
Geofencing: Create virtual borders around each of your job sites. With geofencing enabled, employees can only clock in and out when they're within the boundaries of a geofence.
Real-Time GPS Tracking: Track employees' locations across the entire workday. See where they're located on a map at any given moment, and view breadcrumb trails of everywhere they traveled over the course of a day.
Photos on Punch: Require employees to take a picture of themselves when they clock in and out to prevent buddy punching. All photos can be reviewed on employees' time cards.
Notifications: Get an alert when an employee clocks in late, misses a shift, is nearing overtime, forgets to clock out — anything that's important for you to stay on top of.

Buddy Playful Punch
Easy to use - no glitches to date (knock on phone as opposed to wood) and I know the punch refers to punching in and out - but I thought I would throw in playful like a buddy would punch.
Not good for certain industries
We have a catering business with about 75 employees that we pull from based on the size of our events. Having to inactivate them all and then reactivate every month led to errors and hold ups when employees would clock in. The software would be better if it only charged for employees that actively punch in during a month while letting us leave all of our employees active in the system. Also - we had a pattern of some employees with darker skin having problems with facial recognition. So that was bit embarrassing and led to the final decision to put everyone back on punchcards.
Developer Response ,
Sorry to hear you had trouble with the deactivation and facial recognition. We do have other quick login methods available. If you are interested in the future we'd be happy to help. Thanks for giving us a try!
Punching in and out
When punching in and out this app will not punch you in all the time. It's been multiple times I start work to realize it never punched me in, same as for punching in and out for lunch. You may think you did but when it's time to punch back in. There you see that it never punched you out. Think you punched out for work. Nope you're gonna get a email saying you been punched in for 12 hours! dumb
Developer Response ,
Hello, thanks for the feedback. When punching in and out you will see a "please wait" message. Just wait till this message passes and your new punch status is shown. You might be closing the app prior to it saving. If you'd like more help please find us on live chat on our website, we are happy to assist.
