Punching in

  1. Swipe or enter your badge using one of these options:
    • Type in your badge number using the numeric keypad on the clock.
      Note: If your badge number is alphanumeric (combination of letters and numbers), you cannot enter the badge number on the clock. You must enter your badge number by swiping your card.
    • Place your proximity badge on the badge picture located under the IN and OUT keys.
    • Swipe your magnetic or barcode badge through the card insert on the right side of the clock.
    Note: You may not have to enter a badge number if your administrator has enabled Identification mode for biometric validation. If this is the case, only a fingerprint or facial recognition is required for authentication.
  2. Press IN.
  3. Provide PIN or biometric authentication, if prompted.
  4. If your Clock In is successful, a confirmation message is displayed. If it is unsuccessful, an error message is displayed.
    Error messages vary depending on the type of error and the configuration of the clock. These are some examples:
    • Invalid ID

      The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Ensure that you are specifying your ID correctly, or that you are scanning your badge properly.

      Try punching in again. If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.

    • You have already clocked off for the day.

      You may have been punched out by your supervisor. Contact your supervisor.

      You are punched out but the clock reader has not recorded the current time as the time that you stopped working. Contact your supervisor.
