Clocking in Machines

[mapleleaf]

any one know how I go about finding a clocking in machine . I dont mean the old fashion ones with a punch card but something hightech such that peopel cant clock in their absent mates ?

We are possibly up for a large (50+) staffing contract that the client wants us to manage - they dont want to be bothered filling in individual timesheets so some form of foolproof but simple clocking system is required that allows for the times / attendance records to be downloaded to our office - preferably remotely. TIA

how about using biometric hand scanners from kronos

here is a case study from MFI

Speak to a local timeclock supplier. Most systems now use magnetic door entry/identity cards to check the person in and out as well as allowing building acess.
This makes them good for checking who is out of a building in the case of a fire alarm, for example.

If all of the staff clocking in use PCs, CRONOS do quite a good system ?

If you phone me at work on Monday (07949 986636) I will fax some details over. I had one installed cost around 2k and is very good it was a pig to set up. I have loads of faxes in my filing cabinet I got about 10 quotes and briefs before I found the one I settled with. Biometric was the only way to go to stop mate theft. I also needed one that the staff could change departments mid shift to ensure costs for departments where recorded correctly.

Got your message on the way home, I spent the afternoon with building control and fire officer trying to destroy what bit of sanity I have left.

It will be Wednesday before I'm back in the office (We have the VAT man in tomorrow looking at the books and I'm staying clear as they wind me up) I'll fax them early morning Wednesday.
