Clocking in Machine?
Discussion
Evening Chaps,
Considering a clocking in machine. As we are expanding we have more and more part time workers joining the fold, to this point we have let employees keep records of their own hours and we have always been happy with the system as we have a very close/loyal team.
However with the addition of more part time workers (warehouse stuff) I am starting to see some very "optimistic" hours, bad maths and general taking the piss. So looking to take the guess work out of it and put technology in place.
I have to say I am sad to do so, as I like to run on trust. But after doing the maths, 30mins here and there on several members of staff soon adds up.
Looked on eBay and all that comes up is these cheap digital jobs - dont really like the look of them.
Any suggestions from you lot?
Thanks.

When I worked at Tesco we had cards that you swiped through and the managers get a report on the computer.
One thing I did find with this was that if you started work 10-15 mins early you got nothign but if you left 5 mins early you were likely to get picked up.
If your jobs are not time critical then worth bearing this in mind.
This is what annoys me. We pay well above the average wage, very easy going place to work, provide food and snacks during long shifts, very flexible hours through our quiet periods, bonus scheme.One thing I did find with this was that if you started work 10-15 mins early you got nothign but if you left 5 mins early you were likely to get picked up.

Then we get the odd member of staff push the limits with starting times etc - so quite frankly I'm not that fussed about the odd 10 mins here and there, they had their chance.
However I will ensure the staff who work hard and play by the rules will be rewarded.
Need to do some reading up on these machines, the biometric one sounds ideal, but don't like that it's <£100!! Sounds far to good to be true!
Exactly....all well and good in an office environment, but it wouldn't work for us.
I bought a fancy digital system and got fed up with it. So in the end bought an old school Seiko QR-395. Does absolutely everything I need it to without the need of wires, settings, silly networks etc. Staff simply have cards, staff get paid whats on card.
