Homebase

Homebase is extremely easy to set up employee time clock which happens to be free if your business has a single location and with a single location you may set it up for unlimited employees. For a small business owner where every dollar and cent matters, it’s a no brainer. A business owner may assign or allow the employee to set up their clock in and out code. Also, it may be set to take a photo of the employee during the clock in and out sessions to help or eliminate other employees from clocking in and out for them. Homebase offers an iPad, iPhone and an android app. You may also use your device's browser. We downloaded the app, installed it on an iPad for our employees to clock in and out on. The administrator has 100% access via web browser login. There’s also a feature which allows employees to clock in and out in the field which would geo-tag the location of the clocking activities.

Not a lot a negative things to say. This software is best if you have multiple employees who may have a staggered schedule. Example: an employee opens, then you have a mid day shift, then a closer. You also have many employees that may be out in the field. geo-tag is not the best choice for a single entrepreneur who’s trying to track their time, set up easier ways to do so.

How easy it is to have staff clock in and out. I also love how easy it is to fix hours when staff forget to clock in or out.

When setting up schedules you can not just copy one employee from week to week.

I like that it informs you of your schedule. It's a great time recording app. I really loved the customer service that is involved on the app. They make sure you are number 1 priority.

I haven't had any problems with this time app.

The group chats and clock-in feature works.

Everything use to work until they "upgraded" their software.

We are integrated with Paychex, but after the update, the new timesheets will not export to Paychex. Making timesheet useless and we now have to manually inter the timesheets. They did this because they wanted us to switch from Paychex to their very own and useless payroll.

They do not print checks. They do not provide quarterly W3, etc etc. Basic payroll and premium prices.

Ease of use, presentation of information, team or individual communications, scheduling

There is no note section for daily time logging. I have teams at different project sites and I need to track their hours by project address to reconcile labour costs to the various budgets. I didn't see any easy way to achieve that... so I continue to do that manually.
