EasyTime is a low
cost yet capable solution for the automation of employee
attendance recording in offices, workshops and factories.
It comprises one or more swipe readers for recording
arrivals and departures, a set of employee ID badges
and a simple yet effective Windows-based software
package for recording and managing the attendance
data.
A complete working system comprising the software,
one reader and 25 ID badges costs just £350
+ VAT. So even the smallest business can afford
to automate its time and attendance recording using
EasyTime. The EasyTime software runs on any PC with
Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Windows NT.
The communications module which takes clocking data
from the swipe-card reader runs continually but
in a minimised state so that the PC is free to be
used for other applications as well. The reporting
module of EasyTime is available on the same PC but
can also be accessed by other PC’s via a network
connection.
EasyTime holds a database which matches badges
against employees and also knows how many hours
each employee is expected to be working. As employees
record their arrivals and departures at the work-place
by swiping their badges through the reader EasyTime
records the times of these transactions. Consequently
anyone with access to the data can see who is on
site and who is absent, in real time.
This attendance data is accumulated within the
software to provide a range of reports which are
viewable within EasyTime and also easily exported
to other Windows applications such as Excel or Access.
These reports help to monitor employee absences,
speed up the preparation of payroll data, assist
in identifying employee whereabouts in the case
of an emergency and provide record-keeping facilities
as required by the EC Working Time Directive.
EasyTime provides many of the facilities normally
only found in software packages costing many times
more. It comes with detailed setup instructions
and has a comprehensive online help facility to
help you get up and running in no time at all.
