A new, cost-effective timekeeping method is needed
Montreal, Quebec
Tim is a small business owner, who, like many of us, needed to find an affordable time tracking system that is easy to use and dependable. After some searching around, he found OnTheClock and decided to give it a go.
As a small business owner, I'm typically strapped for time because there are just so many things demanding my attention. I am always under pressure to get the most bang for my buck, and I don’t have a whole lot of time to figure out how to use new tools. Thus, it’s important to me to have an employee time clock program that’s robust, easy to learn, and cost-effective. OnTheClock fills those needs, and here are the reasons why I prefer OnTheClock.
OnTheClock is very easy to learn. The layout is simple, intuitive, and uncluttered – altogether it took me around 5 minutes to figure out all the features I needed from it. If you want to see who’s in, there’s a screen called “Who’s In” which lets you see who’s clocked in and who’s not. There’s a manual punch in punch out button you can use when employees inevitably forget to punch in or punch out. The time cards screen gives you an overview of your employees’ clocked time for the current pay cycle, making it easy for you to manage their time and avoid unnecessary overtime. Extracting timesheets is a breeze, allowing you to extract in Excel format or sent directly to you via email. There are many more features, but they don’t get in the way of the core necessities of the time tracking software.
OnTheClock is a bargain compared to other time clock options. Their pricing model is refreshingly simple—your bill depends only on how many employees you have. All program features are included, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. They don’t try to increase costs with unnecessary add-ons, so you’ll never wonder why your bill changed from one month to the next. In short, their pricing approach is straightforward and honest, making them exactly the kind of business I prefer to deal with

My work is spread out between 4 (FOUR!) devices – a work laptop, a personal laptop, a desktop at my business, and my phone. The beauty of OnTheClock is that it’s available online. I don’t need to install anything on my individual devices. I just bookmark it on my browser, and as long as I have internet access I can use the software anywhere. Furthermore, employees can punch in or punch out from their own phone if you let them set it up on their device, so if there is already a crowd of customers at the reception (where my desktop computer for the group punch station is), the employee doesn’t have to interrupt the receptionist to clock in or out.
