At a minimum, we recommend setting up your account, entering at least one or two employees, having them clock their time by punching in and out, and reviewing their time cards.
Of course, during the trial period, you can also enter all of your employees, enable all of the features applicable to your business (such as paid time off or overtime tracking), and begin using OnTheClock for time tracking. You can also export time cards to your payroll provider or use one of our popular payroll integration solutions. When your trial period ends, you will need to choose a billing option and activate your account to continue your OnTheClock subscription.
