Changing Departments

You perform department change punches when you are switching departments. If you work in different departments, for example in the computers and car audio sales departments, you can record when you switch from one department to the other.

Your supervisor will notify you when to change departments and which department ID to use.

To change departments:

  1. Press the Department Change button.

    The clock reader’s light changes to orange and the following message is displayed:

    Change Department

    Enter ID

  2. Identify yourself by typing your ID, swiping your badge, or scanning your proximity badge.

    The following message is displayed:

    Change Department

    Enter Department ID

  3. Type the ID of the department to which you want to change. Contact your supervisor if you do not know which ID to use.
  4. Press the Enter button.

    If the ID is correct the Clock beeps twice, the green check mark light flashes, and the message Department changed followed by the current time is displayed.

    If the ID is incorrect the Clock beeps three times, the red ‘x’ light flashes, and one of the following messages is displayed:

    • Invalid ID - The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Try punching again considering the following:
      • Ensure that you are typing your ID correctly.
      • Ensure that you are swiping your badge properly.

      If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.

    • Invalid Job - The clock reader does not recognize the Department ID. Either you typed the wrong number or no department exists for the number you typed.

      You have not changed department. Contact your supervisor.
