Timecards

Tracking employee punches is a great way to improve labour efficiency. Employees can punch in and out for the day, providing you with an accurate total calculation of hours worked. Payroll can be easily completed but running a Timecard report in the Reporting section. You can adjust, remove, add punches using the Timecard section in the Back Office area.

Users can also self-track their Timecard punches in the Terminal, and in the Back Office area.
