Plan and set schedules days, weeks or months in advance
Workforce scheduling has never been so easy! Easily create jobs in minutes. Assign those jobs to your employees and notify them of their new assignment. Employees can then punch into those jobs and you’ll get the amount of time worked under each job for easier job costing and customer invoicing.
Push and email notifications
After you’ve created jobs for your employees and assigned them to shifts, let employees know about their new schedule by push notification, email or both.
Estimated vs actual hours
Compare scheduled job hours worked to actual hours worked directly from an employees time card.
GPS tracking
Ensure that employees are at the correct job location when they punch in or out by using the GPS feature. Their location will show up on their time card next to each punch.
REAL-TIME DASHBOARD VIEW
Quickly review which employees are currently punched into shifts and which are not directly from your dashboard view.
Also on your dashboard you can find the scheduled shifts for the day. Review them and make adjustments if needed.
TRACK MORE THAN JUST JOBS
If you have multiple offices or job sites, locations are a great way to track where an employee is spending their workday.
Create your locations, assign them to employees, and when employees go to punch in they’ll select their location – you can also assign locations to shifts. The amount of time spent at each location will be reflected on your employees time card and in your reports.
SCHEDULE JOBS FROM YOUR DESKTOP OR MOBILE DEVICE
Start tracking projects in Buddy Punch in a few easy steps. Help your teams stay on track by monitoring the amount of time spent on a project or task. Use reports to ensure you’re on budget and on pace to meet your project deadline.

How to create, manage and apply a shift template.
By using the Template feature, you can create templated schedules for employees which can be applied to future shifts.
Rather than having to enter the same shift every week, you can create a schedule template for all or specific employes. Please keep in mind that the template option can only be used in the Week view.
Create a Template
- You will first want to create the shift you’d like to have a template for. Once created, you will need to select Options followed by Template and then Create.
- You will be asked to enter a name for the template. Try to include important descriptive information such as the employees name, the shift or any other crucial details.
Manage a Template
Now that you’ve created the template, you can make view it by going to Options –> Template –> Manage.
You will be able to view:
Name of the template
Who it was created by
When it was created
The total amount of shifts
The total amount of hours
You will also have the option to Edit the template and Delete it.
Apply a Template
Now that you have your template created and ready to go, you can apply it.
First you will want to navigate to the pay period you’d like the template to be applied to. You can use the left and right arrows to do this. You will then want to select Options followed by Template and then Apply.
You will then be able to view all the templates you’ve created. Pro Tip: If you have a lot of templates, use the search bar to find it quickly. Once you’ve found the correct template click “Apply to current week.”
