How Buddy Punch’s attendance tracking works

1. Creating schedules

Create schedules for your employees using our drag-and-drop scheduling tool. Finalized schedules are automatically sent to employees.

graphical user interface, text, application

2. Clocking in and out

When employees clock in/out, Buddy Punch matches that data to their schedules to determine who was on time, late, absent, or left work early.

3. See who’s working

Admins can log into Buddy Punch anytime to see who’s currently clocked in/out, who clocked in late, and who clocked out early.

4. Attendance alerts

Get notifications when employees clock in late, clock out early, or miss a shift so you can easily identify chronic tardiness or absenteeism.

Track time effortlessly

Employees can clock in and out from anywhere.

  • Access Buddy Punch on the web, or download our apps for iOS, Android, or ChromeOS.
  • Put Buddy Punch on a tablet to create a central time clock kiosk everyone can use.
  • Use group punch or text-to-punch when internet connections are unreliable.
  • Clock in/out using a PIN, QR code, facial recognition, or username and password.

Build schedules quickly

Create, update, and distribute employee work schedules in minutes.

  • Assign employees to specific locations, projects, jobs, departments, or positions.
  • Let employees specify their availability and initiate shift trade and cover requests.
  • Create repeating shifts to make building schedules for future weeks earlier than ever.
  • Assign manager roles to let supervisors create schedules for their team members.

I like the entire system. It works for us. It’s a very thorough system that is uncomplicated. I can’t imagine needing anything more or putting up with anything less.
