Whats the simplest time clock to start with?

Time clocks, time and attendance terminals, software, payroll integration... it can all seem a little too much if you're just starting out.

If you have a limited budget and yet would like a fully computerised system, we recommend beginning with a fingerprint time clock like this USB fingerprint scanner and software package.

It is easy to setup and comes with software.

How's it work?
You attach the fingerprint scanner to a USB port on your computer. Employees swipe their finger on the scanner to clock on and off, and the data is recorded. This option is available for a minimum outlay and fully automates the collection of employee times and attendance data.

Adaptability bonus
The benefit of beginning with a simple PC USB attachment like this one is that after you've tried the system, become familiar with the software and fallen in love with the ease and convenience of fingerprint clocking, you can upgrade without forgoing your initial investment on the USB scanner.

This model is compatible with the Fingertec time clocks range. Many of our clients prefer to use this USB unit as the enrolment unit - perhaps right there in the HR office as your employee is being inducted. Their fingerprint is then registered in the system and they can clock on and off throughout your network of compatible Fingertec time clocks.
