You get to talk to a real person
I did not want to go with a big name company so I contacted Clock on back in March April in preparation for the one touch. I can honestly say they have been great .Easy to deal with honest, direct and nothing has been an issue. I would highly recommend them.
Pros
If i have an issue it is a small enough company where I get to talk to a real person who actually cares and is really helpful. Its an easy package to use.
Cons
there nothing that I can say that is negative about this package
Reasons for choosing ClockOn
The first time I called I got straight through to a real person here in Australia who then spoke to me for ages answering all my questions. They then gave me time to have a look and think about it and arranged a time to call back. Loved it from the first call.
Reasons for switching to ClockOn
I felt like they were bulling me into staying with them and I could not call them I felt like just a number.

Paid for data entry and a training
None the experience was terrible I would not recommend this to anyone.
Pros
I did not like it ..it was not user friendly at all
Cons
the customer service was garbage considering I paid for data entry and a first time run through training. Each day I tried to contact I had to wait for an email response 24 hrs later. I nor my business have time for waiting for support. We decided to run Clock on at a loss expense and moved on to MYOB and wished I had of used it first the support is first hand and no double entry, user friendly too.

Response from ClockOn
Thank you for taking the time to give your honest feedback. ClockOn is a powerful product and does come with some complexity, particularly in the setup phase. We do try our best to make it a smooth experience for all customers. Whilst you did pay for training and setup ($95) you were running the free version of our software which does not include ongoing phone and email support. I'm sorry if this wasn't adequately communicated to you. Thank you again for the feedback.

Clock on - YES we did
The costing of rosters prior to them being worked provides us with great visibility and allows planning around this to ensure wages stay within acceptable levels of ratio to sales.
Pros
it is a one stop solution to ALL payroll matters - from setting and costing rosters, to capturing actual times worked by who, and then easily sorting the payroll calculations and required reporting. All in one place - simple.
Cons
The latest updates for STP reporting, do not provide any reports to verify what has been reported and received by the ATO and there is no visibility on the ATO end either. Possibly a design fault at the ATO end, but IF Clock On could provide some reporting from their end, that'd make the whole thing very complete.

Great software for all your time & attendance and payroll needs
Pros
ClockOn is an all in one software that manages rostering, time & attendance and payroll. The fact that everything is integrated is a big plus. Payroll takes very little time due to the ease of use.
Cons
It would be good if it worked on other operating systems apart from Windows. A cloud service would be best.
Reasons for switching to ClockOn
The old software was too basic for my needs, didn't record time and attendance.

Saving so much time in payroll
Pros
Easy to use software. Can create rosters against budget. Awards and settings already in place, ensures compliance for tax and superannuation are being met
Cons
Still learning all the shortcuts, perhaps a cheat sheet would be handy

Getting the most out of Clock on.

Really good STP software
I do the STP soft ware with this company. I have found it very easy to operate & compatible with the ATO. So I am very happy that I got into their network & started with this company.
Pros
The company was so obliging in teaching me. It was extremely easy to understand the product. I have used it for two years now & I am very happy with the customer support extended to me. I will definitely recommend the product to anyone.
Cons
I love almost everything about this software. I have not found anything to complain about.

Reporting and Customisation need work
Pros
Award and pay scale interpretation works well if set up correctly Automation of timesheets and salaried information works well Clock on and off features easy to use
Cons
There is little to no report customisation for data analysis. Single Touch Payroll has caused issues given that the software still reports payroll data as period end date not actual pay date - this results in the reports being deemed as "late" but the ATO even though they are submitted in real time. There is also no report to check what data is being transmitted.

Overall a satisfied customer
Overall I am satisfied with ClockOn. The initial set up and follow up was very good and I can not give the staff concerned enough praise. I like the ease of reporting wage information to the Government.
Pros
the ability to split shifts The ease of reporting wage information to the Government
Cons
Some of the self help instructions are very complicated to follow. I had to end up contacting support

A Simple and Easy to use Program
Pros
All initial setup of payroll data base entry was done by Clockon personnel which eliminated the hassle of setting up myself. Clockon is overall fairly easy to use as long as there isn't much variation to regular employee payments.
Cons
The software is quite extensive and to learn the software competently would require a lengthy period of time.
Reasons for choosing ClockOn
I was able to speak to a technical team member to explain the software and was able to answer the questions that I had regarding STP payroll. The support teams of other low cost software products which I contacted prior joining Clockon were always busy and unreachable.

Was a little hesitant at first at it being cloud base, but I am really confident now with the process
Reasons for choosing ClockOn
from first point of contact the customer service was prompt and efficient.
Reasons for switching to ClockOn
old software was not STP compliant

Very happy with Product and Support
Very easy to use product with good support people and resources
Pros
The software works well. It is simple to use and was very simple to configure. I had setup another payroll system recently (not for myself) and Clock On is much more user-friendly.
Cons
Not much. It took me a little while to work out how to use it but that is to be expected.
