Employees punched their card upon arrival and departure from their job. This method tracked employee’s time at work. Modern time clock methods are now electronic, and each employee can punch in and out via their computer or a designated kiosk for employees who may not work at a desk.
Time clock software has taken the place of the time clock on the wall and not only tracks employee time, but can also track time by projects and allow employees to request time off, as well as generate time reports. The software allows employees to complete these tasks from the comfort of their own work stations.
There is sophisticated time keeping software systems that allow management functions such as time analysis, data correction and hour approval. Some software systems used for time keeping allow companies with multiple locations to be connected to one, main time keeping system. Using one system for all locations makes record keeping efficient and accurate.
For companies that have employees not working at a computer as part of their job can find software systems that are compatible with a physical time clock or an employee data collection kiosk that collects the data electronically simply by punching in and out.

Attendance software is an ideal solution for any size company, not only to track time, but to help streamline Human Resources information and Payroll tasks. Project management can be more effective working with actual time spent on a project and the various tasks involved. Time tracking software can also lower operating costs by eliminating data input to the payroll system and billing projects with greater accuracy.
Another added benefit to time tracking software is the ability to analyze labor costs and identify areas that need more efficiency or require better regulations such as tighter standard operating procedures. Attendance compliance is another area helped with such software and compensated time off such as vacation and sick time can be tracked with greater accuracy.
Time tracking software can be installed on individual computers or computer network systems. By integrating time tracking systems with payroll and accounting software will help streamline tracking and scheduling and in-house payroll tasks.
Time tracking software will allow managers to monitor any time related task such as actual time spent on a project and the various tasks, attendance, scheduled time off and any other employee data necessary to operate the company as efficiently as possible.
