Time and Attendance
Time and attendance packages have become very
popular in the last decade. Not only are they the best
way to keep track of employee hours, but many solutions
now exists that can be loaded directly onto existing
platforms such as a PC. Stand-alone or network versions
are available that fit almost any application.
Time and attendance information can be sorted
by department, provide detailed reports, track vacation,
sick leave, and/or holidays, as well as other advanced
features. Such information when combined with sales
data or phone statistics can balance profit and service
considerations for most companies.
Most time and attendance software packages are
loaded directly onto a PC and are network compatible.
The software is generally written for both DOS and
Windows applications and most systems have the ability
to support an external timeclock. The electronic timeclocks
usually connect via a serial port on the PC and include
magnetic stripe or bar code type readers which must
be specified when ordering. The timeclocks may also
have a keypad to manually clock-in or clock-out.
