TimeClock Plus review
Bottom line
TimeClock Plus is time and attendance software paired with TCP's own time clocks, built to turn punches into payroll-ready timesheets for hourly staff. Its clearest strength is the depth of its payroll and HR connections, including direct punch data to Oracle and Workday. The main costs to watch are that pricing is quoted only on request and no free trial is offered, and that scheduling requires a separate product. Public-sector buyers, K-12 districts, and Oracle or Workday shops with hourly staff should shortlist it.
What is TimeClock Plus?
TimeClock Plus is time and attendance software from TCP Software, a company founded in San Angelo, Texas, in 1988 as a time and attendance company under the TimeClock Plus name. It records employee punches, tracks hours, and turns raw attendance data into payroll-ready timesheets, so employers spend less time correcting errors before each pay run. The product addresses a common problem for hourly workforces: manual timekeeping that leads to payroll mistakes, overtime miscalculations, and compliance gaps.
Employees clock in and out on on-site hardware, through mobile time tracking with geofencing and geolocation, or with web clocks. Managers see hours worked, breaks, exceptions, overtime, job codes, and pay rates in one place. Employees submit leave requests for PTO, FMLA, holiday, and sick time, and managers review them against accrual balances. A policy rules engine applies pay rules and overtime calculations automatically, and timesheet data can be sent to payroll and HR systems.
TCP names K-12 schools, healthcare, public safety, government, manufacturing, and multi-location businesses among its customer groups, and it serves small, mid-size, and enterprise organizations. One K-12 customer story on the site, Jasper County BOE, reports reclaiming 60% of payroll labor hours and cutting its payroll process from four days to two hours. Pricing is provided on request, and the product does not offer a free plan or free trial.
What sets it apart is the link between hardware and payroll. TCP sells time clocks alongside the software, and its TCP Direct clocks send payroll-ready punch data straight to Oracle and Workday systems. The integrations page lists hundreds of ERP, HCM, and payroll connections, including ADP Workforce Now, Paychex, Paycom, Paylocity, and Workday. Employee scheduling is sold as a separate TCP product, Humanity Schedule, so buyers who need both scheduling and time tracking evaluate two products.
