Time & Attendance Punches

The following instructions walk you through creating a basic time & attendance punch at the clock (with no job, task or departmental information).

The current date and time is displayed at the top of the screen. The Card Number and Employee Pin sections are displayed below.

1. The Card Number field is highlighted by default. The card number must be specified before any other punch options can be selected. Enter your card number by either clicking on the appropriate numbers from the keypad graphic located in the right-hand section of the screen, or by typing the number at the keyboard. When the correct card number has been specified, your name will appear at the top of the screen.

2. Click on the Employee Pin field. Enter your pin number by either clicking on the appropriate numbers from the keypad graphic, or by typing the numbers at the keyboard.

3. If you would like to specify this punch as either an "In" or "Out" punch, select the desired radio button.
   Note: The TimeForce system automatically determines the in/out order of your punches. This step is not required.

4. If you would like to specify this punch as a "Lunch," "Break" or "Normal" punch, select the desired radio button.

5. When you have entered the required punch information, click on the green "ENTER" button on the keypad graphic, or press the <ENTER> key on the keyboard.

6. A "Processing" message will appear briefly. When the punch has been accepted, a message will appear stating the employee name and punch date/time. Click on the [OK] icon to close the message box.
