### "Buddy Punch for the win" — 4.0/5

> **Meghan** | *November 24, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ease of processing payroll.  I can run payroll in 5 minutes and management loves being able to see where everyone is while out in the field.
> 
> **Cons**: Unable to have two different pay schedules requiring an off cycle payroll every pay period for my salaried employees.
> 
> Excellent service. I can now run payroll in 5 minutes.  Tax filings are done for me, and my managers are happy.

### "Excellent and easy to use punch system" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *July 23, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of integration and learning for Buddy punch took less than 20 hours for myself. Their support helped me at every instance which assisted in the speedy integration. It also eases both scheduling and payroll where both used to take a minimum of 5+ hours weekly to now less than 2 hours. I can also very easily keep track of vacation/time off requests when building my schedules ahead of time.
> 
> **Cons**: The mobile application does not have the same controls and features included in the PC browser version.
> 
> I highly recommend buddy punch for a quick to learn system for managing time cards, scheduling, and vacation/time off. All these features are easy to understand and work great for my managerial duties. I have had zero issues or outages while using Buddy Punch's services.
