Keeping Track Of Employee Time Has Never Been Easier
December , 2004
Time clocks are used by many businesses and organizations to help keep track of time. Time
clocks guarantee,
thanks to built-in security features, that the time stamped on a card or other document is
correct. These devices are
easy to set up, transport and use.
Time clocks are ideal for use with employee time attendance. Unfortunately employers cannot
always rely on their
employees to be honest. The “honor system” and hand written time cards can be easily
manipulated and employers
can be cheated out of thousands of dollars. It is also legally wise to use a time clock, as you
can prove what hours
have and have not been worked.
There are a wide variety of time clocks to choose from. Over the years, time clocks have been
designed so they can
be placed on a countertop or mounted to a wall. Many time clocks even add the time worked,
making payroll
calculations easier. A new addition to the time clock family is time recording software that can
be installed on a
personal computer. Time recording software allows your employees to clock in through a
computer. The time is
automatically added up and it is easy for employees to clock in and out.
Digital electronic time clocks are the newest style of time clock available on the market. These
time clocks are slowly
replacing the traditional punch-style time clock. Digital time clocks store clock in and out times
electronically, in the
machine. Many digital clocks keep a running total of time worked and help calculate
hours worked for payroll. Some have a touch pad device that allows you to punch in a code
and clock in or out. Other
digital time clocks can be interfaced with a computer or a printer for larger organizations.
Some newer time systems also have the ability to use a magnetic stripe, like you see on a
credit card. Many
employers will put this magnetic strip directly onto a photo ID card that can be used to clock in
and out. This data is
stored in the device and
can provide you with exact details on time worked. Some of these devices can be interfaced
with a computer or
printer. Security features built into digital time clocks prevent any kid of manipulation or abuse
of time worked.
