Article 2: What are Calculating Time Recorders?
Time recording devices have been used by companies for job costing and attendance purposes since the late 19th century. With technological advances these devices have become more feature rich and automate as much of the process as possible. This article covers the calculating category of time recorder.
This type of device is able to log time information in the normal way but it can also automatically calculate the hours worked by a member of staff. This solved one of the largest problems in time recording which was the possibility of human error when totalling up the hours that staff had worked.
In addition these devices can compare the recorded times of a member of staff with standard working hours of your business and assess whether the person using the recorder is late in or early out. The card can then be stamped with an exclamation or different colour ink to draw attention to that fact when the cards are being processed.
Conversely these devices can also account for any overtime a member of staff has logged and make that information available separately from the standard work times. Calculating time recorders can also account for lunch hours and multiple shift patterns.
These devices are ideal for companies which employ up to 200 members of staff yet do not require a computerised system. They are designed to be quickly installed with the minimum of fuss on a desktop or wall and resist bumps and scratches as they will commonly be used in factory or industrial environments.
