THE MEASURE OF TIME

Our lives are measured by time. Our roles in society are defined by time, and so is our worth as productive members of our community.

Time keeping systems have been used by our earliest civilizations to structure our lives and put some semblance of order in our world. Some of the earliest relics of a time keeping system are still in use today such as the sundial and hourglass. These icon time systems are still as effective as they first used thousands of years ago.

In the work place, a time keeping system is needed to monitor the attendance of your workers, if they are going to work on the prescribed work days and if they are logging in the required minimum work hours every single work day. Because the salaries of employees are based on an hourly rate, it is very important to have an accurate time keeping system to make sure that the employees are getting their just dues and are being paid for an honest day’s work.

THE OLD RELIABLE

Among the most reliable of the time keeping system is the Bundy clock; and for a long time it was the standard by which all time keeping systems was measured. However, while the Bundy clock did a good job, it was by no means fool proof.

The Bundy clock was fairly easy to deceive in so far as not being able to distinguish one employee from the other. This time keeping system stamped time and attendance on any time card that was placed inside it. There was no regard for who placed the card in the slot, and thus anyone can time in for someone else.

This is the main reason why big companies are modernizing their time keeping systems by employing the more secure biometric time system. This time keeping system is more secure because it makes use of a two point identification system to verify the employee signing in.
