Buddy Punch is a cloud-based platform that transforms how employers track worker time and manage schedules across industries. It logs work hours via web/mobile apps—using Face ID, QR codes, PINs, or GPS geofencing—and handles time-off requests, attendance monitoring, and payroll-ready reporting. Designed for small to mid-sized businesses in construction, healthcare, retail, professional services, and more, Buddy Punch supports remote, mobile, and in-office teams. Managers gain real-time visibility into who’s on the clock, where they are, and punch activity; enforce auto break rules, punch rounding, job code reporting, and PTO accruals; and set role-based permissions with single sign-on. By cutting manual entries and exporting timesheets directly to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, or SurePayroll, Buddy Punch streamlines workforce management and empowers teams with accountability, transparency, and flexibility.

Overall, it's been very easy to use and accurate with keeping everyone's time entries up to date and the PTO feature is the favorite of the employees
Pros: It been two years since we started using it and it's been wonderful. this is the first program we started with and have never had any issues with it.
Cons: At this time there isn't anything to say we don't like. We utilize every feature it has to offer, and we haven't had any issues.
Marisela D. · Legal Assistant and Administrative duties · Law Practice · March 19, 2026
Buddy Punch makes payroll faster and easier to complete by keeping track of employee hours. It is easy to use.
Pros: Buddy Punch is intuitive and simple for everyone to easily and regularly use to track hours worked each week.
Cons: High cost...because the cost of Buddy Punch increased through the years, we eliminated the scheduling feature and reduced our number of employees to keep the cost more affordable.

Overall, my experience with Buddy Punch has been positive. It’s reliable, easy to navigate, and has made time tracking and payroll much more efficient. While there are a few limitations with advanced features and reporting customization, the system performs well day to day and helps streamline workforce management with minimal hassle.
Pros: What I liked most about Buddy Punch was how simple and user-friendly it is. The platform makes clocking in and out easy for employees while giving managers clear, accurate time-tracking data in one place. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, which saves time when reviewing hours or preparing payroll. I also appreciated the mobile app and GPS/photo features, which add accountability without making the process feel complicated. Overall, Buddy Punch helped streamline scheduling and payroll while reducing errors and confusion.
Cons: One downside of Buddy Punch is that some advanced features are lockeds which can be limiting for smaller organizations. Occasional mobile app glitches and syncing delays can also be frustrating, especially for staff in the field. The reporting tools, while useful, could offer more customization, and integrations with certain payroll systems are somewhat limited.
Wendell M. · RFD · Political Organization · January 30, 2026
It has been a pleasure using the Buddy Punch software. It has decreased by time in processing payroll dramatically.
Pros: Buddy Punch is very easy to use and employee friendly for punching in and out. The seemless integration with Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise Edition is best part of all.
Cons: It says this field is required and must have a minimum of 100 characters. I honestly can find nothing that I do not like about Buddy Punch
JANICE I. · HUMAN RESOURCES AND PAYROLL MANAGER · Transportation/Trucking/Railroad · January 28, 2026
My experience with Buddy Punch has been extremely positive. I have only had positive comments to make. Congratulations with your program. I hope it continues to be successful with advancements.
Pros: I appreciate the ability to clock in and out in a timely manner. The usage is easy to follow. I have difficulty using modern technology; but it is easy to follow directions given. I am positive that my employer is happy that scheduling is made easier using your program.
Cons: I have been using this program for a short period of time. At this point, I don’t have any negative comments. All directions are easy to follow. I appreciate the approach used.
Bonnie G. · Kitchen aid · Religious Institutions · January 28, 2026
Overall, my experience with Buddy Punch was positive and beneficial for managing staff attendance and time tracking. The platform provided structure and consistency, which helped reduce timekeeping errors and improved accountability across the team. It was especially useful in environments with multiple staff schedules, such as residence life operations, where shifts can vary and coverage is essential. While there were some technical hiccups and a learning curve for new users, the advantages outweighed the drawbacks.
Pros: What I appreciated most about Buddy Punch was its user-friendly interface and overall reliability in tracking staff time and attendance. The system made it easy for employees to clock in and out using mobile devices or desktops, which was especially helpful for staff who worked across multiple buildings or shifts. The GPS and location verification features added an extra layer of accountability, ensuring staff were clocking in from approved locations. I also liked the reporting tools, which allowed supervisors to quickly review hours worked, overtime, and patterns of attendance. This streamlined payroll preparation and reduced the need for manual corrections. Overall, Buddy Punch improved organization, accuracy, and transparency within scheduling and time management processes.
Cons: One of the main drawbacks of Buddy Punch was occasional technical issues, such as slow loading times or difficulty clocking in during periods of poor internet connectivity. This sometimes caused frustration for staff who needed to clock in quickly, particularly during shift changes or emergency situations. Additionally, while the system offers many features, some of them were not very intuitive at first and required extra training for staff to use properly. The mobile app could also benefit from smoother navigation and clearer notifications.
Andre F. · Supervisor · Higher Education · January 27, 2026
It has been wonderful & efficient! Very stress free & easy to use. Very quick & self explanatory. Perfect!
Pros: I love all the features of Buddy Punch! I love how we can edit our time in or out punches. I love how it shows our ay rate hourly & how much we have made so far. I love the time off calendar for the company as a whole & then our very own time off summary. Buddy Punch is so easy to use, very seamless!
Cons: I have not found anything that I dont like. The areas in which I have been able to use Buddy Punch have been exceptional.
Phylicia R. · CSR - Subject Matter EXpert · Consumer Services · January 26, 2026
It has been user friendly. I have had some issues with forgetting to refresh but I think I have it down now.
Pros: It is very easy to use. I like the real time monitoring and the flexibility in order to edit any mistakes.
Cons: Not able to pull previous check stubs. It is not app friendly for I-phones or androids. Always have to refresh
Nichelle C. · Housing Specialist · Government Relations · January 22, 2026
Pros: Buddy Punch is intuitively designed. It is not difficult to find what I need. It does everything our small business needs - easy scheduling, tracks earned time off, and clocking in and out is easy for our employees to use.
Cons: My only issue with Buddy Punch is that it does not communicate hours with Quickbooks Online very well. I have to manually make edits to overtime because they don't communicate well. We already used Quickbooks online, and I didn't want to change our payroll system to Buddy Punch since this was already established.
Anna P. · Practice Manager · Medical Practice · January 19, 2026
Pros: Easy to clock in and out and gives a summary of your time punches. The app does what it's supposed to do.
Cons: Nothing. App does what it is supposed to do. As long as the application provides the information and functions as required, I'm good with it.
Jan F. · Paralegal · Legal Services · January 14, 2026
It has been an absolute pleasure so far to use this system. It is very straightforward and transparent.
Pros: The ease and simplicity of the system. It really is designed with the employee in mind. The best system I have used by far.
Cons: At this moment there are no negatives that I see to this system. It has been seamless all the way around.
Ryan S. · Operations Manager · Hospital & Health Care · December 4, 2025
Excellent service. I can now run payroll in 5 minutes. Tax filings are done for me, and my managers are happy.
Pros: ease of processing payroll. I can run payroll in 5 minutes and management loves being able to see where everyone is while out in the field.
Cons: Unable to have two different pay schedules requiring an off cycle payroll every pay period for my salaried employees.
Meghan P. · Controller · Construction · November 24, 2025
At times, can be very frustrating, with the lack of communication- unless I initiate first. Such as random deposits/deductions from our bank account with no explanation as to what it was for. Missing tax accounts and never figured out or notified us for months- that payments were being withheld- but we had no account set up for withholding- to deposit tax payments in. BuddyPunch was withholding city taxes for months- when I told them we were not responsible to pay into said city from the beginning. I felt like I had to alot of the set up work for BuddyPunch- when we were paying for them to handle payroll- which includes the taxes involved. Now we are stuck with reimbursing employees for taxes that we told BuddyPunch were not supposed to be taken from our employees. I, literally, had to reach out to 2 different local tax agencies to prove that we were not to be paying taxes into Holmesville Ohio.
Pros: live chat option. In the beginning the live chat option was very helpful and I felt like there was always someone there to help me.
Cons: Seems like rep does not fully read question and only responds to half of what my questions are. I have to follow up with another question- because only half of what I asked was answered the first time.
Ronda R. · Bookkeeping · Health, Wellness and Fitness · November 24, 2025
My overall experience with Buddy Punch has been really good. It’s fast, easy to use, and fits perfectly into my daily routine. Clocking in and out is simple, and everything is laid out clearly. I like that it keeps my hours organized without any hassle. So far, I haven’t had any issues, which makes it even better. Overall, it’s been a reliable and convenient tool for me.
Pros: The platform is easy to use, and it makes clocking in and out as well as managing employees very convenient.
Cons: So far, I haven’t experienced any problems with Buddy Punch, so I don’t have any concerns at the moment.
Eden Jill S. · Data Steward · Computer Software · November 19, 2025
Easy to understand and navigate. Easy to clock in and out without any issues. If necessary support is easy to contact.
Pros: I like that it is easy to understand and navigate. I haven't had any issues with clocking in or out. And my time is kept accurately. I can check my time off and keep up with available PTO hours.
Cons: I have to have my supervisor to make any changes that have to be made. I am not sure how the message log works or how to use it to correct my punches.
Therese R. · Receptionist Unit Clerk · Mental Health Care · November 18, 2025
For the most part it has done what I have needed it to do. It is very self-explanatory. I have been able to figure out most things for myself.
Pros: The scheduling and payroll is easy to use. Employee management is nice so I can see the hours staff are putting in.
Cons: Sometimes when people log in and out it doesn't register. We then need to go back in and take the time to fix their hours.
Sherrri S. · Lead Family Advocate · Human Resources · November 18, 2025
I am able to log in anytime, even on my phone.
Pros: Very easy to use. It's been very easy to punch in and out. I've never used this app, and it was very easy to navigate.
Cons: Nothing it's been great.
Asiah C. · Executive Assistant · Management Consulting · November 18, 2025
Overall, great product, very useful and easy to use. Ease of not having to hand write. Time tracking is helpful for payroll.
Pros: Easy to use from scheduling, time tracking and app usage. Enjoy up to the sec updating once schedule is posted.
Cons: Drag and drop features are a little slow, a larger area for the calander would be helpful and having a way to create templates would be nice.
Kristina C. · Assistant Hospital Manager · Veterinary · November 18, 2025
For me, I think it’s easy to use, very accessible, user friendly. Theres not a ton of different screens to go to clock in or out. You just log in and clock in. Simple!!
Pros: I like how accessible it is. I am able to clock in from an app on my phone or at a desktop. So, I don’t have to wait for an open computer; I can clock in on my phone.
Cons: I have used this time clock for a little over two years now and have had no issues. Except, I would like to be able to see my actual paystub instead of my clock in and out times.
Jessica S. · Medical assistant · Health, Wellness and Fitness · November 13, 2025
Wonderful
Pros: User friendly, I have never had any issues with this system, able to manage my time by myself for approval
Cons: No complaints
Madison S. · Medical Assistant · Hospital & Health Care · November 6, 2025
Everything is easy to use. Excellent experience all the way around. Id recommend this program to anyone.
Pros: Time tracking was the best part if this program but overall the whole program is absolutely great. A+
Cons: There is nothing that i didnt like about this program. I use it everyday to track my time and put in time off request
LAURA R. · Direct Support Professional · Individual & Family Services · November 1, 2025
It’s been great. I’ve used it at multiple companies before and it all seems to work the same with the ease of it.
Pros: The way it’s easy to clock in and out. Also the layout of everything and how it’s easy to look at payroll.
Cons: Nothing. I think it’s the most easiest clock in and clock out system. There is nothing I can think of that’s bad about it.

Bob S. · account manager · Automotive · October 22, 2025
It is a very compact and intuitive app to use. Everything is pretty obvious as to what you need to do and input.
Pros: I have used other scheduling apps and this is by far the most easiest to use. It makes seeing your schedule and putting in vacation requests so very quick.
Cons: I just wish that the app was a bit more similar to the website. The schedule is a bit harder to follow on the app.
Heather R. · Branch Manager · Libraries · September 30, 2025
I enjoy using Buddy Punch and would recommend it. It is a fast, easy and efficient way to clock in and out and keep up with the hours that have been worked.
Pros: I enjoy using Buddy Punch because it is an easy and efficient way to keep up with the hours worked every week.
Cons: Sometimes it does not save when I punch in or out which causes issues with my work hours and they have to be corrected.
