Clocking system tracks employee attendance
The JobClock is a weatherproof, battery-powered timeclock. Employees can clock in and out each day using personal ID keytabs. The data is then gathered with a PDA and transferred to Exaktime’s TimeSummit software. Finally, reports can be printed or sent to payroll systems using the company’s AccountLinx software.
