OnTheClock vs Workyard

OnTheClock provides small businesses with employee time tracking, scheduling, PTO management, and payroll software. Employees can clock in and out through desktop, mobile app, web, kiosk, or browser. Location controls include GPS tracking, geofencing, breadcrumb trails, employee location maps, and device, IP, and Wi-Fi restrictions. Managers can build drag-and-drop schedules, share updates, and track attendance across locations and departments. PTO tools cover requests, accrual rules, holidays, carryover, and a shared calendar. Reports include employee time, gross payroll, labor costs, job and project costing, and a Who's In dashboard. The time-tracking plan is $4 a month per employee plus a 5 USD monthly base fee, after a free 30-day trial; there is no free plan. Payroll is an add-on at $6 a month per employee plus a 40 USD monthly base fee, with a one-time 250 USD migration and onboarding fee, and requires the time clock. Payroll service excludes some workers, businesses, and industries, including employees outside the United States and specified sectors.
