Time Tracking App
Track all of your billable and non-billable hours, set variable pay rates, and streamline invoicing and payroll with Buddy Punch’s time-tracking app for lawyers.
How Buddy Punch’s time-tracking app works
1. Clocking in and out
Employees clock in and out on their computers. When they clock in, they select the client they’re working on so you can easily track hours worked per client.
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. 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.
4. Invoicing clients
Export reports showing all employee time spent on specific clients. Reports are available in Excel, CSV, and PDF formats. Use that data to create accurate invoices quickly.
A time-tracking app your team will love
Privacy-first
Other time clocks make your team feel micromanaged by monitoring everything they do on their computers all day. Buddy Punch simply tracks the hours they worked.
Simple task-switching
Swap hours tracking throughout the day by simply selecting a new client code in Buddy Punch. Timecards will show all of the time spent on different clients over the course of the day.
Easy editing
If someone forgets to switch projects, they can easily edit their own timecards to make sure they’re accurate. Admins or managers can review and approve those edits if needed.
Advanced features for knowledge workers
IP address locks
If team members are clocking in before they arrive at the office, set up IP address locks in Buddy Punch to prevent clocking in and out when employees aren’t in the office.
Simple invoicing
Create job codes for your different clients. Employees select a job code when clocking in, then you can see exactly how many hours were spent working on each client’s project.
Variable rates
If you need to charge different hourly rates for different clients, you can set up project-specific rates. Buddy Punch automatically calculates the appropriate pay rates for those hours.
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
PTO accruals
Set up rules for how employees accrue PTO. Buddy Punch will automatically calculate earned PTO for everyone.
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.
Reviews from legal teams that use Buddy Punch
Brandi T.
Attorney
“I like the easy punch-in system and the visual appearance of the program on the desktop. The customer service is great as well. Anytime I have an issue, I get support immediately.”
Manuel B.
Managing Attorney
“It saves me a lot of time. We used to use time cards that had to be processed, which was very time consuming. Buddy Punch is simple and easy to use. Staff members sign in, punch in, and punch out. The software does the rest.”
Anita W.
Office Manager
“Staff loves the mobile app. It makes punching in/out easy so staff can punch in as they enter the building because inevitably they will be waylaid with questions before they even get to their computer.”
