Time Clock – A WordPress Employee & Volunteer Time Clock Plugin

Description

Overview

This plugin allows employees or volunteers to clock in and out for their work shifts.

From the Developer: I built this plugin because I’ve frequently volunteered at bicycle and computer repair non-profits, and each one was using a buggy, custom-made time clock to track hours. It caused the non-profit extra work and was a headache. So I built this plugin to help out other organizations in the same situation.

If you have a non-profit or a business, this plugin will help you track hours.

It´s a very simple but functional plugin that delivers what it promises

Great plugin

Time Clock is just what I needed for my project. It's very simple and straightforward, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time developing my own solution for this.

Not what I expected

By Anonymous User 16100632 (anonymized_16100632) on September 6, 2018

Original: I have spent a good amount of time looking around the internet trying to find a time clock for employees at the firm I work for. New: * Originally when I found this plugin I was extremely happy to see something so unique. However,the time that it took to add functionality killed my desire to use it.

Vanilla Time clock is great

By markstoll on August 15, 2018

Great time clock ***** 5/5 Might even fork some code. Some features it was missing tho: I know my employees are going to mess up time clocking and I need a way of making the changes when they email me. I also don't really like that you have to create a page with a short code: [timeclock] Customers use my website too and I don't want them to click onto some password protected page. They get suspicous.

Over Night shift can not count time

By liping225 on July 1, 2018

Our company employees work over night, but check-in before 00:00 and check-out after 00:00, activity can not count work time, and 1 user row seperate to 2 user rows. So this plug in is only very good for daytime job working. Hope fix this issue.

Works great.

The only thing it could do better is to find and train the employee/volunteer. I don't see that upgrade coming soon. It's an awesome plugin. Keep up the good work!!!

I have been looking for this for a long time.

By Scott Paterson (scottpaterson) on May 21, 2018

I have been using the plugin myself to track hours for my current and new business. I built this plugin because I couldn't find a good solution on the market and there was no other WordPress solution. I volunteer a lot and over the past 8 or so years I keep seeing poorly coded time clocks that small organizations are using. Hopefully organizations can use this and have one less thing to worry about.
