Clocking ON/OFF
Clocking On/Off procedures vary at each site, depending customer needs. The most common procedures include;
Manual signing in/out sheets
This involves a document (time sheet template), usually located at staff entry/exit locations or reception, that requires you to write down your name and the time you started and finished work. Times should be recorded once when you start and once when you finish. Never record both times at once.
Swipe cards, pin access, biometric attendance systems
Swipe card, pin and biometric attendance systems allow you to clock on/off by swiping or placing a swipe card, pin or finger print on the unit. These units are usually located at staff entry/exit locations or reception.
