Performing a labor metric punch

Labor metrics are used to track, measure, and control the amount of work, time, and costs devoted to different activities and tasks within a company. Employees can perform different labor metric punches at the Virtual Clock to keep track of these activities and tasks.

  1. Using the keypad on the keyboard, the computer mouse, or the touch monitor, specify a badge number.
  2. Specify a PIN number, if required.
  3. Press a labor metric operation button. For example, Job, Docket, Department.
  4. Specify the labor metric code.

    A confirmation message is displayed showing the type of punch, labor metric description and your name.

The clock reader returns to its idle state.

Note: If the specified badge number or labor code is invalid, an appropriate error message is displayed. If the Clock Server is not available, a message is displayed that the transaction has been accepted and stored locally; that is, no validation is done. The Virtual Clock will then return to its idle state for the next punch.
