How Buddy Punch’s timesheet software works

graphical user interface, text, application

1. Clocking in and out

Employees can clock in and out on their computers or phones, or you can set up Buddy Punch on a central computer or tablet to create a shared time clock kiosk.

graphical user interface, application

2. Viewing timesheets

Buddy Punch compiles all clock-in and out data into timesheets that you can view anytime on the admin dashboard. Hours and overtime are automatically calculated.

3. Time card approvals

Get employees’ supervisors to validate their hours and approve their timesheets before you run payroll to ensure your payroll and client invoices are always accurate.

4. Running payroll

Use Buddy Punch as your payroll provider, or integrate our data with payroll providers like QuickBooks and ADP. Running payroll will be faster and more accurate than ever.

Features to keep employees accountable

IP address locks

If team members are clocking in before they arrive at the office/school, set up IP address locks in Buddy Punch to prevent clocking in and out when employees aren’t on-site.

Photo capture

Require your employees to take a photo of themselves when clocking in or out. This prevents buddy punching — employees punching in and out for each other.

Facial recognition

Take authentication a step further by combining Buddy Punch with FaceID to use facial recognition technology to validate that the right employee is clocking in/out.

Advanced features for education management

Locations

Create locations for your different offices or schools. Employees select a location when clocking in, then you can filter your reports to see the total hours worked at each of your locations.

Manual time entries

Instead of clocking in and out, your salaried employees can simply enter their hours into Buddy Punch so you can keep track of time and attendance even when it doesn’t impact payroll.

PTO accruals

Set up rules for how employees accrue PTO. Buddy Punch will automatically calculate earned PTO for everyone. Employees can view their earned PTO at any time in the app.

Time-off tracking

Employees can request PTO using the Buddy Punch app. If the request is approved, those hours are automatically added to their time cards and deducted from their PTO balances.

Features to save you time and money

Overtime alerts

Get a notification when team members are nearing overtime to eliminate or reduce unexpected overtime costs.

Payroll integrations

Quickly send your timesheet data to QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, Workday, Paychex, Paylocity, PayPlus, and more.

Reports

Create custom reports to meet the needs of your specific business. Download any report as a PDF, spreadsheet, or CSV file.

Automatic breaks

Set up your break triggers and lengths, and Buddy Punch will automatically deduct breaks from timecards.

Punch limiting

Prevent time creep by blocking employees from clocking in before they’re scheduled to work, eliminating unplanned costs.

Time card editing

If someone forgets to punch, an admin can easily go into their timecard and edit the hours to make sure they’re paid properly.
