Evolution of Time Clock Systems

Written by Allied Time

Time clock systems have long been considered as basic systems that did not necessarily present employees with any advantage other than just to keep track of their timesheets. These systems have evolved to become quite sophisticated and now offer different features and possibilities which tend to be advantageous for employees as well.

In an investment point of view from the company, these systems now do not require expensive hardware to set up. Employee time clock devices are now considerably smaller and less expensive and can thus be placed in several locations for employees’ convenience. Some systems even come with mobile applications to help field employees such as engineers to track their time and attendance from a remote location.

From the employer’s viewpoint, these systems are beneficial as they eliminate buddy clocking. Indeed biometric systems now use facial recognition to identify the person. Some systems also come with a software that would help you compile attendance data for annual performance review and attendance bonus purposes.

These type of systems, especially when employees have access to the data, would enable them to remain more accountable. This might also trigger a willingness for them to improve their clocking behavior. These systems might help them to set targets in order to achieve a good attendance score. These systems also ensure that there is transparency in terms of how time is tracked.

Allied Time has created employee time clocks systems and business machines since 1967. They have remained a preferred distributor for all major quality manufacturers for over four decades.
