OTC was great. We used it for 4.5 years I think. The cost fit our budget, and it became easy to figure out.

Pros

The cost of the version we were using was fantastic for what it provided us and for as long as it provided us for what we needed at the time. It was also user friendly once we figured out the idiosyncracies.

Cons

It was limited for our usage when it came to scheduling. We had to use work-arounds, which we did...until we grew too big as a company, and those became too cumbersome.

Because we didn't need a robust system at the time and the cost didn't make sense for BambooHR

En general ha sido una muy buena estrategia para llevar el control de horas laborales, facil de manejar y de enseñar a las diferentes personas y permite acceso en tiempo real de las horas de trabajo.

Pros

Ha sido una forma de llevar el control de las tiempos de un grupo de empleados, y me ayuda a llevar mucho el control de horas para mi trabajo.

Cons

A veces el sistema se cae y no lleva control de las horas y debemos ingresarlas manualmente, pero hemos detectado que es por el internet la mayoría de las veces.

Open Time Clock has been a valuable tool for our hourly employees. It's made keeping track of their hours so much simpler than what we were using before.

Pros

The easy to use apps both on phone and desktop are very handy and easy to navigate. The timesheets are detailed with all the information we need for our employees who work hourly.

Cons

Sometimes there are issues with clocking in or out; but it's easily fixed by logging in via a browser. It can just be frustrating sometimes to think you've been clocked in but really haven't.

I recommend Open Time Clock to anyone looking for a time clock solution.

Pros

Open Time Clock is an excellent cost-effective tool for clocking in and out of work. They provide an easy-to-use back-end tool for setting up users and schedules. Their customizable reports have reduced time spent on payroll and accounting. They offer a free and paid version, with a few perks with the free version.

Cons

I really enjoy Open Time Clock, it's provided us a cost-effective way to manage our payroll.

Overall, it's been easy and efficient and just what we need!

Pros

So easy to use, didn't even have to be trained. Love using it to track my hours, and there are ways to leave comments if you need management to tweak your hours. The vacation request space is also very user friendly.

Cons

It tends to log me out, but now that my computer saved my info it's a lot faster again.

We have been able to keep a better eye on our productivity and manage our employees time.

Pros

We love that it is easy to clock in and out for our team and that we can easily run payroll reports and track overtime.

Cons

I wish it imported directly to ADP to make processing payroll even faster
