Other Features
Locations
If you have multiple offices or job sites, locations are a great way to track where an employee is spending their workday. Use our management tool to create your locations, assign them to employees, and let employees select their location when they punch in. The amount of employee time spent at each location will be reflected on time cards and in your reports.
Departments
Departments are like Job Codes. You can easily create and assign codes for your hourly employees to punch in to. If more than one code is assigned, employees will be presented with a list to select from. You’ll see the amount of time spent on each code reflected on your employees time card and in your reports.
Positions
Create and assign positions for your employee work during shifts. If your employees work more than one position, have them select which one they’re working that day. Time will be split by position when viewing your reports spreadsheets.
Drag & Drop
Streamline shift management. Create shifts by clicking on an empty cell. Then drag and drop shifts where needed. You have flexible scheduling since you can click on a shift to edit it, and then when ready you can publish those shifts to notify your employees.
Notifications
You decide what and when to notify your employees in-app of the schedule based on business needs. Make a change but only want to notify one employee? You can do that. Need to publish but want to hold off on notifying so as to not disturb workflow? You can do that too. Shift planning and team communication work hand-in-hand.
Smartphone Apps
We have apps for both Android and iOS devices to help your hourly workers on the road or out in the field track their work hours and log their time. Push notifications and SMS functionalities leave management in control, even when employees work remote. Who says mobile apps are only unproductive?
No shift? No problem
Is a full-time or part-time employee not on the team schedule yet? Did they request time off, or are they on call and can pick up open shifts when needed? You can enable it so they can punch in without a shift. This is shift coverage made easy. Even for no-shows and erratic employee availability, your team members (with permissions) have control over shift changes through our shift trades feature – all without running into scheduling conflicts.
Punch Limiting (Time limits)
If you have employees who like to punch in early or punch out late it can affect your scheduled time and make you pay the price for additional overtime for the week. Punch Limiting can help control labor costs. With our scheduling solution you can limit punching in and out to the employee’s schedule, staffing needs, or time of day.
Automatic Punch Outs
Do you have forgetful employees or would you like to make sure they punch out at the end of the day? With this auto-scheduling feature, our time tracking tool can punch them out when their schedule ends automatically. No need for last-minute reminders.
Shift Trades & Covers
Allow some flexibility after you schedule employees. Trading shifts means allowing an employee (with appropriate permissions), manager, or administrator to initiate a shift swap with another employee for any reason, such as double-booking or a needed absence. Covers allow employees, managers, or administrators to initiate covers with another employee.
Learn More About Our Scheduling Software
We’ve only just begun to touch on why our user-friendly Buddy Punch beats out free employee calendar apps like iCal or Google Calendar. There’s even more features to our staff scheduling & time tracking software than we’ve covered – such as a Text to Punch Feature which enables you to turn SMS messaging into a clock in or clock out, all without requiring an internet connection on your mobile device. Even with all these options built into our all-in-one management system, we made sure to keep our design intuitive and easy-to-use for team members and managers alike.
Our goal isn’t to be the best employee scheduling software on the market, it’s to be the best employee scheduling app for you, your employees, and your scheduling needs.
