Clock card machines and time recorders
For those who are in search of a simple yet effective time and attendance system, mechanical time recorders, also known as time clocks or clock card machines, offer businesses in all industries a perfect solution.
Our time clocks are mechanical devices used to track the hours’ employees have worked. Card-based, these machines function with time cards that are inserted into the machine, which prints a timestamp onto it. These cards are then used by employers to calculate remuneration. The data from these cards can also be used for analytical purposes, including highlighting negative trends in order to make necessary decisions for retargeting forces to different processes.

Why is taking time and attendance important?
Poor employee attendance pressures the entire team in more ways than one. If one employee is absent or underperforming, it adds pressure onto others to make up for the lost work to maintain the momentum. By implementing time and attendance in the workplace, employers can proactively manage this to mitigate the business impact, preserving operating effectiveness and overall employee morale.
Monitoring attendance can also help employers to determine negative trends in late coming and absenteeism. This allows them to see where to implement further management initiatives to improve employee behaviour and monitor the efficacy of these interventions. Our accurate attendance machines prevent businesses from incorrectly compensating employees.
Why is it beneficial to use clock card machines?
Utilising clock card machines bring a variety of benefits to the workplace, including:
It helps identify attendance issues
The main reason for time and attendance tracking in the workplace is to identify issues more easily. Besides scheduled leave, employers must ensure that employees are not abusing time privileges within working hours. On the surface, lost time may seem like only a few minutes, but this time theft can easily build up to hours and negatively affect business processes.
Improves attendance tracking
The ease associated with collecting data from mechanical time recorders allows employers to identify and confirm their employees’ time spent working, to ensure that they are paying them in full and on time. It also allows overtime to be accurately calculated. The time spent doing this is also minimised with the automatic data provided by time and attendance software.
Better see where time is spent
With accurate time and attendance systems, employers can see where and how their employees are spending the majority of their time. This information allows employers to make valuable decisions in redistributing resources to align with the strategic objectives of the business.
Improves employee morale
Some employees may consider time and attendance tracking to be a factor in micromanagement that only benefits their employer. However, this is not the case. With efficient time and attendance systems, employees can more easily correct behaviour and be acknowledged for consistent work. The fairness enforced by these systems also helps boost accountability and can prevent the perception of favouritism amongst employees.
Reduction in absenteeism
Excessive employee absenteeism can significantly impact any business. How employers manage and control reoccurring absenteeism in an employee will determine how it affects the financial impact on the business.
Eliminate human error
The automated process of modern time and attendance systems allows for the elimination of human error. One person is no longer required to input the working data of all employees for successful payroll, streamlining this previously cumbersome process.
