Punch Options - Prices in (parenthesis) if extra hardware is required
QuickPunch.exe
- Included with PC Timeclock. A much
smaller "Front End", for Employee punching only. Recommended for
use only on older systems with limited memory resources. "Manager"
button closes Quick-Punch, and opens full version "PC Timeclock.exe"
for editing, etc.
Keyboard - KB
Most
businesses use existing Keyboards to "Punch" PC Timeclock.
Employees simply "Punch" at their Workstations, or at a computer
located near an entrance. NO additional charges for multiple
installations on the same Local or Wide area Network
Barcode
Readers - BC ($170 and up) Used for security
reasons, or to make it easier for Employees to change Activities. PC Timeclock prints Barcodes on Employee Badges, complete
with Employee pictures. Laminate for durability. Requires
a Barcode Reader.
Magnetic
Strip Readers - MS ($170 and up) These may also be considered for security
reasons, however they require the additional cost and hassel
of making, or buying, and programming the magnetic cards. Employees
invariably loose or forget cards...
FingerPrint Readers - FP ($120
Stand-Alone, $160 w/Keyboard) Our most popular Add-On:
1) Cheaper than Barcode and Magnetic Strip Readers.
2) Much more reliable, not affected by dust or swipe speed.
3) They eliminate the hassel
of maintaining cards.
4) NO maintenance. They don't wear out.
5) Prevents "Buddy Punching", when one Employee punches for
another.
6) NO Lost or forgotten Cards.
7) Can also secure computer access or documents, eliminating Passwords.

Uses latest Fingerprint Algorithms from "Digital Persona" to verify
Employee punches. Criminal Employees need not worry; it stores vectors,
not actual FingerPrints.
The "Stand-Alone" sensor is about 1.5" square, 1/2"
high, and plugs into any USB port. We also have Keyboards with built-in FingerPrint Sensors. When a valid punch has occured with FingerPrint
verification, an "FP" is logged as the "Punch Method",
so managers KNOW the Employee punched themselves.
Punch Method: The method used for punching is recorded on Timecards and Daysheets; KB, BC, MS, FP, or PH, as noted above. The Workstation "Name" is also recorded with each punch, so managers know which method, and which computer, the Employee was using when they punched. Barcode, MagStrip, and FingerPrint Readers attach to your PC using either "Keyboard Y's" or the USB port.
Above
is PC Timeclock's main screen, used for Employee
Punching, and Manager Access.
Employees Enter their "Punch Code", and may
select an Activity, if other than default.
When a
valid "Punch Code" is entered, the day's Punch Information appears.
The screen shows Total Hrs worked today, and optionally, total hrs this Payperiod.
If a "PunchNote" has been left for the
Employee or Activity,
the Employee can't "Punch" until the Note is
"Acknowledged".
PunchNotes can be for a single Employee, a particular
Activity, or Everyone.
There is no easier way to "Get the Word Out".
