Almost Every Business In The World Have Time Clock Machine Connected To Their Employee Time Clock System In Order To Process Their Employees Payroll.In The Old Days, This Is Done By Inserting A Sturdy Paper Card (more Known As A Time Card) Into The Window Or Slot Of The Time Clock Machine. When The Time Card Makes Contact With The Sensor Of The Time Clock Machine, The Time Clock Machine Will Automatically Print Information On The Time Card. This Provides The Payroll Section Of A Company To Have An Official Documentation Of The Total Number Of Work Hours Their Employee Have Worked In Order To Process The Payroll Of Their Employee. The Time Cards That The Time Clock Machine Uses Are Typically Thick And Heavy In Order To Withstand Frequent Use. These Time Cards Have Labels In Order To Determine The Logins And Logouts Of The Employee. These Time Clock Machines Are Generally Placed On The Main Entrance Of A Company So That Their Employees Would Punch In When They Arrive And Punch Out When They Will Go Home Or Leave The Premises Of Their Work. These Days, Most Companies Are Now Using Automated Employee Time Clock System By Using Computers Instead Of The Mechanical Time Clock Machines. These Computerized Time Clock Systems Operate In Various Methods. The Employee Can Login On The System By Keying Into The System A Sequence Or Code Word Or Number That Would Recognize And Record The Date And Time. Or The Employee Can Login To The Time Clock System By Using Their Company Identification Card That Has A Magnetic Strip Or Bar Code. The Information Is Then Tallied By The Central Computer System And Sends It To The Spreadsheet Software For Payroll Process. This Eliminates (if Not, Reduces) Errors And Is Said To Be An Essential Factor In The Productiveness Because It Makes The Payroll Process More Efficient And A Lot Simpler. Some Companies Even Use More Advanced And Highly Sophisticated Time Clock Systems. These Advanced Systems Are Called Biometric Time Clock Systems. Biometric Time Clock Systems Work By Scanning The Fingerprints Or Retina Of The Employee. Once The Scanners Recognize The Employee, The Information (date And Time) Is Then Logged On The Central Computer. The First Time Clock Machine Was Invented By A Jeweler Named William Bundy On November 1888. William Bundys Brother, Harlow Bundy, Then Established The Bundy Manufacturing Company A Year Later. The Bundy Manufacturing Company Mass Produced Time Clock Machines. And By 1911 Bundy Manufacturing Company Merged With Computing Tabulating Recording Company. The Result Of The Merger Was The Creation Of International Business Machines Corporation Or More Known As IBM.
