Time Clock Software?

Use a SaaS of course. As someone recently posted on here, you can restrict IPs of your timeclock SaaS to just your office location(s) so people cannot use it from home.

I'm currently going through the same thing. www.opentimeclock.com is one that really seems to fit our needs and has a free option that may or may not work out for you.
From my research thus far, SaaS is the only option for something half way decent.
We're currently working with a piece of s*&# that hasn't been updated since 2003 and only runs on Windows XP :man_facepalming:

We use Paycom, both for timeclock and payroll.

Is timeclock only an option?

@bnrstnr Keep us posted here!

I'm also seriously considering writing our own. We use it on premise only, so I don't have to really worry about hardening it all that much. Nothing out there quite works the same as what we've been using for the past 20 years...
Whenever I hit management with the cost for the SaaS ones, I always get cringes lol

Do most SaaS timeclocks work from a cell phone? (as in an app)
Would you make them connect to the Office WiFi to punch in if you were going to allow them to use their cellphone?

You can do geofencing so they don't have to be connected to wifi. Most of them have apps, too.
I'm thinking about mounting a couple android tablets to the wall as kiosks for people to clock in and out. I don't think we would allow cell phones, but that's definitely an option if your customer wants that.

I like this idea. Or an All-In-One Wyse Terminal that only has a browser and one allow web address.

You could be doing stuff that actually needs to be done, though.

Those kinds of companies never see it that way. They consider him spent money, don't matter that other things get behind.

That, and there's always downtime. I could keep our current thing going long enough to poke at something a couple hours a week until it's done.

But it's never done. You'll always have to maintain it, manage it, back it up, migrate it to new hardware, etc. Moving to a SaaS solution not only frees you up, it could likely free up people in accounting to do other work, or downsize.

We use Clockify.
