The “Time and Attendance System of tomorrow”
The Time and Attendance system is designed for small businesses to
make payroll processing easy and accurate. This microprocessor based
clock uses magnetically encoded badges to record employee times. The
system can handle up to 120 employees. (See 1.3 Employee punch
capacity.) The terminal may be connected directly to an IBM
®
compatible printer to print reports or used with the PC Interface
supplied with the system.
The system eliminates the need to buy, prepare, distribute, and calculate
employee time cards. No more need to store and save bulky time cards
for years to meet government regulations. Employee time cards can be
saved on 3½" floppy disk and easily stored for future reference.
Each employee is assigned an Identification Badge. The employee
“swipes” the badge in the terminal when arriving and departing work,
the same as punching “IN” and “OUT” on a time clock. The Time
Clock terminal needs to be set only once. The system offers battery
backup in case of power failures, Auto Month, Date, Year advance, and
Automatic Daylight Savings changes.
At each swipe the employee sees his or her daily and pay period
totals on the terminal display. The system can handle Weekly, Bi-
Weekly, Semi-Monthly, and Monthly payroll periods. The system
calculates employee’s hours worked based on your company's pay
policies. Regular and overtime hours are totaled fast and accurately,
eliminating costly payroll errors. Employee hours can be exported to
payroll packages, accepting ASCII file output, for generating payroll
checks.
It is recommended that the Time Clock terminal be used with the
included PC Interface. The PC Interface for Windows
®
allows for easy
setup of clock rules and employee data, editing employee punches,
reviewing reports at the PC monitor, exporting to payroll
packages, and a signal control program. (Signal not included.) The
