Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is NOVAtime solving and how is that benefiting you?

PO Patrick O. Product Development Manager - Travel Media Group Marketing and Advertising Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/12/2017 "Decent program, but could be a lot easier to use." 3/5 What do you like best about NOVAtime? As a supervisor the dashboard makes it easy to review and approve employees' timecards. When vacation is approved, it does automatically factor into the time card which makes the workflow easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NOVAtime? It is not always easy to review and approve time off requests, nor determine available time off hours available in-line with the approval process. As you are approving time off, it is also difficult to manage coverage for the entire team without going to calendar or other program. In our installation, it is easy for managers/supervisors to submit time cards, but non-exempt workers have to punch-in / punch-out and there is no way to default those hours and allow them to edit as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering NOVAtime: Decent for a baseline program, but probably missing the functionality to make it great.

The team at Nova time has been nothing but helpful to our company with all the requests we have had as we merged 13 communities in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NOVAtime? The only thing I don't like is the just the appearance of the time clock. Nothing major. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes forget to log out; I wish there was some sort of email or mobile reminder to log out if I haven't by the end of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering NOVAtime: I wish there was a reminder service to log out of novatime (i am a pilates teacher so I am not always at my computer). I feel like I log in a lot and then forget, and have to remember when I logged out to tell my boss. It would be great to have a mobile or email reminder to log out by the end of business.

I love that with Novatime any type of reports needed for payroll, Labor Costs, and even who's in can be pulled in the manner you want them to be pulled. You can customize reports to your liking an get all the information needed for that particular report. I have worked with various clients who have different report requests and Novatime definitely is the fastest and most accurate way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NOVAtime? I do dislike that fact that sometimes if an employee is working overtime or double time the calculations can be wrong and go into the following day so it throws the hours off quite a bit. Maybe there is a way to correct this but i have yet to learn the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is NOVAtime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Director of Operations Human Resources Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/9/2017 "Value Added Reseller Exclusively Sells NOVAtime" 5/5 What do you like best about NOVAtime? As a value-added reseller, we have sold other products in the past; however, due to the vision of NOVAtime's leadership, we now exclusively sell NOVAtime. Our team is proud of the software, the hardware, and the services. This makes our work exciting, as we are able to focus on people and processes to round out an exceptional offering to our customers. We also use this product for punching at the NT7000-FP biometric smart time clock kiosk, for submitting time-off requests at the website and at the NOVAmobile app, for submitting and approving timesheets, and for running payroll. The software automates much of the process and makes it easy to ensure that we maintain high-quality, auditable time and labor records for our team members. Here are some Pros Ease of use - Many people have shared with us that the software is user-friendly. Reliable - this is really important for a SaaS offering. Constantly Improving - It is evident by using the product, that NOVAtime Technology is investing significantly in research and development. Compliance focused - NOVAtime is really doing a great job at anticipating and responding to changes in the legislative landscape to make it easier for customers to remain in compliance with new labor laws. There is plenty of information on the NOVAtime website and information on other forums such as captera.com, g2crowd.com, softwareadvice.com, forum.novatime.com, Facebook, Linked In, and netimesystems.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NOVAtime? I have written extensively about recommended improvements to the product at forum.novatime.com. NOVAtime listens to customers and regularly works recommendations into their Product Roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering NOVAtime: There is plenty of information on the NOVAtime website and information on other forums such as captera.com, g2crowd.com, softwareadvice.com, forum.novatime.com, Facebook, Linked In, and netimesystems.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is NOVAtime solving and how is that benefiting you? Our customers employees sign off electronically on their timesheets to certify the completeness and accuracy of their punch times, hours calculations, time-off hours, etc. I have heard labor law attorneys claim that this is one the greatest defenses an employer can have if they get dragged into a lawsuit or a state or federal Department of Labor audit. In addition, automation really adds value for employers. The automation in the NOVAtime software is pervasive and ranges from real-time pushing of punch data, exceptions, and notifications, to automated computation of hours and time-off accruals. We have seen meaningful automation like this really make a significant difference for employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
