Using TimeForge Attendance, employees clock-in or clock-out for work very similar to what is done with a traditional time clock. However, with TimeForge Attendance, reports are automated, employees can see what’s going on, and payroll is one click away.

In addition to clocking in and out, TimeClock includes Time Clock Mode, a proprietary TimeForge Attendance feature.

With Time Clock Mode, employees can point and click on their name, allowing them to quickly clock in and out of the TimeForge system.

In TimeClock Mode, passwords can be required to ensure that staff members are not buddy punching – clocking each other in without actually being at work.
