Time Clock Wizard Makes Logging Hours for Payroll Easy!

When you work from home this tool is a must!

I still use Time Clock Wizard quite often even though my invoicing system has a time clock built in. I like the simple use of the time clock wizard over the bulkiness that is in my invoicing software, plus the fact that time clock wizard sends prompts from time to time to make sure you didn't forget to log off your time for projects. This program gives my clients peace of mind concerning how my hours are being spent while working on their projects.

Pros

Love that they have a free option that is simple to use for at home workers and freelancers. It is easy to learn how to log your time and to clock in and it give clients peace of mind that when you calculate your hours you have actually kept tract of the work you are doing.

Cons

Really can't think of any cons other than that this software isn't integrated with a invoicing system.

Time Clock Wizard Review

TCW serves its purpose for our needs. We do not use the Scheduling function because we are happy with our current scheduling software called WhenToWork.

Pros

Our Recreation center has over 100 student staff that use TCW to clock in and out of their shifts. The staff find it very simple to use. Instead of logging in and out of their account to clock in/out they can simply put in their username or email and clock in to their area. On the administrative side the professional staff can easily find hours worked, edit errors, pull reports etc.

Cons

Only one complaint is that we are unable to set standard "Employee Permissions" such as clocking in/out of a mobile device. Some settings are "standard," so after adding an employee we need to go in each account and edit the settings to our needs.

More trouble than it's worth

Pros

It's fairly simple to set up and use, cost is competitive, however since become a paid for service quality has suffered.

Cons

Constantly fails to clock people in on mobile and sometimes says people are clocked in, then when they clock out it erases the clock in for that day showing that member of staff as being clocked in for 30+ hours. No notifications of 'maintenance' which they say they do daily! so at some point every day the website is down, today it was down for several hours so none of my staff could clock in, there was no email to say it would be down and no notification when logging in of scheduled maintenance. Customer service doesn't seem remotely bothered. I take me hours each week to check staff records which are a total waste of my time. I am now trialing other solutions which offer far more for the same or less money per month. The crazy thing is when this was a free service it was great! but since it's gone paid for it's got worse!

A nice upgrade for our growing company from the old fashion style time clock method

We are pleased so far after the first 4 weeks of using it. I am thankful to have a bit more organization with our time cards and payroll processes!

Pros

It was a nice upgrade from our old time clock punch in/out method. We are a smaller office and have been expanding over the last couple years. Currently there are at 15 employees and the old style method was becoming more challenging and time consuming during the payroll period and finalizing number and hours to send to our accountant. The online method is much easier and more streamlined for us for time clock, payroll, HR and scheduling purposes. I also like that I can track clock in & out times better than our previous method and can also see their locations via GPS.

Cons

Some features are a little clunky to use and get used to but I think over time maneuvering between the tabs will because easier. There have been some hiccups in getting our staff to use it. Sometimes there are glitches when they try and clock in and out on their mobile device app.
