Features
If your payroll accuracy is important...
do it by Hand
No timecards or badges are needed to use the HandPunch
reader. The employee's hand is their card. Their hand
can't be lost or forgotten, which reduces your administrative
costs. In addition, you'll never have to pay for another
card.
The HandPunch is a fully featured time clock complete
with operational battery backup and user capacity expandable
to 27,904. No other terminal positively verifies each
employee and gives you the additional savings generated
by eliminating time theft, and fraud.
Each time an employee uses the HandPunch, their identity
is positively verified by the unique size and shape
of their hand. No one can punch in or out for them,
which gives you the most accurate payroll possible.
The HandPunch is fast and easy to use. Verification
time is typically one second.
Restricting the time an employee may use the HandPunch
eliminates early IN punches or unauthorized overtime
punches. If an employee attempts to use the system during
an unauthorized time, the system will display "TIME
RESTRICTION".
Edit at the Clock
Supervisor override mode allows input at the clock of
items such as missed punches, planned vacations, sick
time, tips, etc. User restrictions may also be overridden
via this mode. This increases supervisor flexibility
and eliminates having all edits done at the computer.
This mode is password protected and an audit trail identifying
who entered the transactions is available.
Deparment Transfers
To assure you will get the data you need for an
accurate payroll, the HandPunch can automatically request
department information for every punch or can be set
to only request department data when asked by the employee.
If a home department can be assumed for most transactions
in your workplace, the user request mode minimizes data
input for the majority of employees.
ID Number Input
Employees simply enter an ID number in the HandPunch's
built-in keypad and place their hand for verification.
Once verified the clock displays "OKAY" followed by
the user's ID number. Using the keypad can eliminate
the costs associated with cards including administrative
costs. When was the last time an employee lost or forgot
their hand? Cards or bar codes may also be used to enter
the ID number. The HandPunch can be ordered with an
optional mag stripe, Wiegand or bar code reader. In
this case, the employee would just swipe their badge
and the HandPunch would ask them to place their hand
for verification.
Explicit Punch Menu
Some workplaces cannot work with assumed schedules.
If yours is one of them, turning this menu on makes
sure your system gets the data required for accurate
application of time and attendance rules and ultimately
an accurate payroll. Selections such as In, Out and
Back from Break or Lunch are available.
Communications and Networking
The HandPunch comes standard with an RS-485 communications
port that makes networking multiple units fast and reliable.
Network options such as an internal dial-up modem or
Ethernet module provide communications flexibility that
ensures the most cost effective data collection methodology.
Daylight Savings
Specify the date and time for daylight savings to
take effect and the HandPunch will automatically add
or subtract one hour at the clock.
Bell Schedule
The bell schedule allows the user to program the
day, time and duration for a series of bell rings. These
rings may be used to signal the start or end of a shift,
lunch or break.
Operationl Battery Backup
The system will accept punches for 2 to 3 hours
after power is lost. All hand template data and reader
setup data will be maintained for up to 5 years by the
standard lithium battery backup internal to the HandPunch.
Note: Some time and attendance software packages
may not have implemented all of these features in their
interface software. Please check with your software
vendor for details.
