The Employee Time Clock
Many of us still remember those punch clocks
that our parents used to punch in and out of
work, these machines were planned to keep an eye
on the time employees spent and hopefully worked
at the work place.
For many years, companies have relied on
employee time clocks to accurately record how
many hours are worked by each employee every
week. Even though clocks have changed, these
companies need to have some type of system that
they can use to create payroll and ensure
employees are getting paid for each hour worked.
Employees these days use cards that they swipe
along a slot, which reads their name and records
the time they clocked in. Employees must also
clock out each day the same way.
After the pay week is over, the central computer
system tallies every employee’s hours and prints
them out on a spreadsheet. This makes the
payroll process efficient and rids much human
error.
The employee time clock is something that has
been tied to the factory and to productiveness,
it is very surprising to learn that a lot of
workers during the years have tried to find
creative ways of using the time clock to their
advantage, it is even more surprising to
understand how much time and effort was spent
into making sure that the time clock was always
one step ahead and that company rules made
absolutely sure that no one even thought of
messing with it.
The employee time clock is usually located near
a main entrance or break room area. Employees
who do not get paid for lunch breaks must clock
out during lunchtime. It is against any
companies policy to use another employees time
card or to clock in or out for them. This type
of behavior usually results in both employees
being fired. It is considered fraud to use
another person’s time card.
The employee clock is a time saver in that
payroll hours are automatically added up by the
computer system. This is not to say the machines
are perfect. Sometimes the magnetic stripe on
the machine or the card does not work properly,
so an employee’s time will not be recorded.
Other times an employee might forget to clock in
after lunch. These errors will need to be fixed
in the computer system.
The employee clock will also be around for
payroll needs. Even though there have been
advancements made to make the clock more
efficient, the principle of the employee clock
will not change. Hourly employees need a way to
keep track of their time. Companies need logical
ways to record and monitor an employees time to
ensure they are putting in the hours they need
to continue being a productive employee.
With the development of computer software and
better time clocks the old fashioned time clock
slowly disappears from our lives, but new and
better tools are added daily to ensure employees
time is well spent.
