Fast, painless payroll and time clock

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: They are hands-on and dedicated to building the best product so that means agreeable fees, quick service, and things you request make it into the beta channel quickly.

Pros:

Easy to use on any mobile device. Mobile-first design is key in our industry, no one is sitting there at the small cafe with a desktop or even a laptop. Our tools need to be on the phones in our pockets, easy to access, and just as easy to slip back into the pocket so we can get on with the day.

Cons:

No support yet for robust scheduling so we have not been able to move that over to this app and we really had to play around with and modify our own system in regards to tips distribution to fit their workflow. But updates to a model we were using the past 7 years were long overdue and we have good buy-in from staff and users.

Pros:

I love a lot of things about this app. I love the design and concept absolutely. And fact that it’s voiceover accessible yessss

Harrell Electrical Services review of HOURLY

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall we have a good experience. The platform has really eased our daily payroll admin and cost tracking. The HOURLY customer service team has been excellent with addressing platform questions, providing education and assisting with pulling reports. Having access to detailed data while out in the field has been a big benefit for daily operations.

Pros:

Real time staff time card tracking coupled with geo tag locations is a big help in managing staff in the field. Additionally managing project/service payroll costs is easier with daily real time computations for all staff wages, payroll taxes and workers compensation insurance premiums. The HOURLY team is also easy to work with

Cons:

Customizable "name" payment line items with the ability to designate treatment for tax purposes and also not wages excluded from worker's comp premium would be a good feature to add. An example is for government projects in California for Prevailing Wage payroll, there are also separate Fringe Benefit payments for the staff that are taxable, but not subject to Workers Compensation premiums.

Filled a Needed Niche

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall Hourly has saved me time in managing my payroll & employee work tracking at a very reasonable rate.

Pros:

I love that Hourly allows me to track specific tasks at multiple sites. As a general contractor I need to keep accurate records of my employees work and Hourly greatly simplifies that task.

Cons:

There have been some hiccups integrating my worker's comp insurance into my payroll system. However Hourly has been attentive throughout this process & done their best to solve the issues that arise.

Hourly is the payroll company go to!

5.0 last year

Pros:

Pros of Hourly: Very user friendly, every employee can set up their own profile and have access to all paystubs at the tip of their fingers. It is very quickly used when determining the daily payroll cost, and all tax forms are also online for me going back years. The customer service is fantastic, also getting back asap and very helpful. The cost of hourly is great.

Cons:

The only con is that I have been inquiring about workers comp multiple times and have never received any information on it.

Job labor costing and payroll management in a glance

4.0 last year

Comments: It’s been great to combine workers comp along with payroll so I can see actual total labor cost for a give project.

Pros:

Easy to confirm hours and seamlessly going right to payroll

Cons:

The system has worked great and never had a real problem but occasionally the website and or the app does not display current information immediately. This is always resolved quickly just seems like there are occasional quirks.

Hourly is easy and convenient to use. I like to calculate the cost of payroll daily, and so I am able to recalculate every day and get my gross cost with no problem.

Cons:

Hourly is a great platform and really well put together, no cons that i can think of.

Easy to use app

5.0 last year

Comments: Hourly was an easy app to use and navigate along it having access to important documents. It was also easy to make changes on

Pros:

Clocking in and clocking out was simple and did not glitch so that the time tracking was accurate. It was easy to review your w-2 along with past paystubs and hours.

Cons:

It would of been great to be able to track expenses and reinburstments.

Product review

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Been a great experience. Lowered my payroll costs, made things easier to navigate. Not to mention the customer service was outstanding when problems would happen.

Pros:

The customer service is amazing. The ease of the program is also outstanding. In the 2 years of using the service, they have done many improvement as well. A ever growing great program.

Cons:

Honestly, at the start of the company there was a little "understandable" amount of glitches or bugs. At this point, I really don't much of a complaint

Convenience, Efficiency and powerful software

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Hourly has great pricing, excellent service, and easy to use software. I was using ADP payroll before this and I can easily say it was 4x more expensive and much more complicated to run.

Pros:

This software is super easy and intuitive when it comes to navigating. If you need help the support team replied almost instantly. You can run it from your phone!

Cons:

Implementing the software and training the techs on using it took a little bit of time but now that we’re all on the same page, its easy!

Pros:

That its user friendly. For someone like myself who is technologically challenged its very important that the product is easy to maneuver and operate with little to no confusion. I'm very grateful for Hourly's simple and effective design.

Our business needed this app!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: My overall experience with Hourly has been positive, helpful, and profitable. Put simply, we left the old inefficiencies that pain small business due to the dependency on private accountants, and leaped forward to being efficient, transparent, and in control of our business. We went from tracking our employee's hours inaccurately on Word or Excel to having our payroll cost to-the-penny in the palm of our hands with a hand full of other features that significantly helped me, and my brother (co-owner) become a hundred times more informed about our business.

Pros:

The most impact features of the Hourly app is the business owner's ability to manage the most important aspect of any business; our employees. It's hard to say which part of the app I like the most since it does a seamless job at tracking time sheets, live payroll cost, workers comp cost, and job cost in terms of hours spent by employee/tasks. However, I would say that my favorite feature of this app is how easy it is to run payroll due to the other tasks being done for me that allows me to simply review, and press a button to run payroll from practically anywhere.

Cons:

In the beginning, we had to get our payroll checks mailed to our office until we learned that we were able to print them right from our office. This helped us be in even more control of our payroll, and ability to quickly get our technicians paid for their work.

Great Service and Product

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I've had nothing but a great experience with Hourly. Recently I had to back track on some documents and had to contact the previous payroll company we used to work with and things were so difficult. That made me appreciate Hourly even more. They have such an awesome team that always makes me feel comfortable in calling (I usually avoid calling companies unless I'm desperate).

Pros:

I love Hourly. It is very easy to use. If I have any questions I know I can call support and I will be helped asap and the service is great. Hourly is very convenient especially when I have to do payroll. I love that the employees can verify and sign their hours thru their phone. I can also access the app and run payroll from my phone, it especially comes in handy if I'm not in the office for the day.

Cons:

At first I wasn't sure where to find things but after a easy tutorial from support I know where everything is.

Highly recommended!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: ‘Hourly’ has completely transformed the way we mange our business! We used to spend countless hours in producing cumbersome spread sheets, to monitor ours and our employees’ hours. Now all our hours are just a click away. The genius of the software is not just in the quick sign in and sign out , but the ability to specify jobs by tasks and locations as well as add comments and monitor pay to name but a few advantages. Thanks to ‘Hourly’ we are now able to dedicate even more time to what we do best- serve our clients!

Pros:

Where do I begin- the ease of clocking in an out, the ability to specify projects by location and type of work, the ability to monitor hours of work throughout the company.

Cons:

I love every feature in the software and highly recommend it to all businesses alike.

Great software!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: The overall experience with Hourly has been great. We appreciate the easy access and the simplicity of the software as our employees do too.

Pros:

Prior to being introduced to Hourly, our Company was using a system that required much more behind the scenes work to gather half the data we are able to view in an instant with Hourly. Such things would be, job costing, the total hours per job, employees on and off the clock, etc.

Cons:

A feature that would be awesome to have on the software is to alert our employees when being awarded a pay increase with some type of congratulating notification.

A perfect fit for my business

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: I am so appreciative of whoever put this product together. It saves me time (which equates to more money in my pocket), allows me to more accurately cost my jobs (which equates to more money in my pocket) and it is just so darned simple (which equates to less headache for me!)

Pros:

It simplifies the entire payroll of process. Before Hourly I would have to chase down errant time cards, ensure they were filled out correctly, fill in a spreadsheet to track my job costing and then log into ADP and enter the hours and approve. This was an unpleasant, time consuming and mundane process. Now, the guys enter the time cards and job costing on their phones, I review each day (taking literally minutes) and run the payroll at the end of the week. IT COULD NOT BE EASIER.

Cons:

Sometimes connectivity is an issue but Hourly has done a great job of addressing my concerns here.

No more manual timecards

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We used to use timecards, which required us to add up time manually. With Hourly now I save so much time. The math is just done for you in the app!

Pros:

I really like that I can have time tracking and payroll right on my phone. It is very convenient for me. I can do it from home and on the run.

Cons:

I don’t have anything to add here. Sorry!

Hourly Review

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: The company and their employees have been great. If I call with a problem and have to leave a message, they get right back to help. They have never made me feel uncomfortable about asking questions if I don't understand something.

Pros:

The data is readily available and in a usable format

Cons:

Trouble finding how to delete input if a mistake was made entering payroll shift information and there is a need to start over or make a change. Also the print size on the timecards is really small, but all the other printable records are fine.
